If you treated people the same way, you may soon find yourself in the same position.

Hey cmon, I didn't say anything about how I treat people. In fact, I do quite well at private functions, it's just that I have had so much "Bar" work in town using their equipment and driving less than one mile to the three bars I work in (max of 3 1/2 hours to boot), that I get to see a lot in bars too.
In fact, I attended bars a while when I was a single person, and I still believe that the "Average" (I said average , not everyone or even most) moral may be a bit less, and that again may only exist in the "sleezy" bars that we get to play in once in a while, too.

That was a comparison to me. I consider myself and "average" moral-like person. After conversing with many in many bars; I did easily notice a few more than
half seemed to have a lot less morals than I did, and they bragged about it. Now what does that tell you.

I noticed there was quite some discussion regarding that the bar owner is boss. I have to disagree with that to an extent. Besides me not taking "bribes" to bump, I also have an understanding with the bar owner. Because MY reputation is on the line as a KJ Host, I don't tell him how to run the bar and he dosen't tell me how to run the karaoke.I can't have it any other way.

So far that has worked well for both of us and I think my present "boss" will attest to that also. That also goes a long way in keeping my show fair and balanced.

Yes, all because HE is the boss. As soon as he decides to
ask you something (not necessarily how to run your show) that you refuse to do, and if he thinks it is substantial reason to let you go, he simply will, well ahead of you giving your notice.
