He did know it was wrong. Hey, anyone could have a weak moment.

Best thing he could do the next time that guy came in is hand him the $100 back. If not, it will go on and on, and probably for a lot less money.

so you wouldn't take $1000 or even $5000 to move someone?

i had that happened to myself , it was 10 minutes before we close and i had a singer singing the last song, when some guy walked in with i think was his girlfriend, and he came up to me and asked if he could sing , i told him that someone is doing the last song of the night and it's time to close,he left but came back with a drink & a $50.00 still i said no, he kinda looked disappointed, and added another $25. and said he just wanna impress the girl he's with, since most of my singers already left and only a bunch of my friends was in the bar and dont sing anyway, , i said ok..a week later he came back and asked me if he has to pay again, i kinda laughed and said if you put in a song slip and come in a little early before my regulars come in, he can sing as much as he want..he's been coming in early ever since , he buys me drinks now and then and he was put on rotation..

I fail to see what the amount has to do with compromising one's integrity, which as marklwood pointed out it is.

money talks! We Are All Doing this job to make money. I Don't think anyone would do this job for free. Yes it is a matter of integrity, but if someone offered you $1000 to be able to sing and you took it.
This isn't a mortal sin. I understand both points of view. I don't plan on making this a habit. The guy who paid me was the brother of a good regular and was visiting from out of town. This dosn't make it right, but its still not that wrong.

You were fine, no one was hurt by it (that's the key)wrong and right are two other words that are very hard to pin point. Every one that started a war in any country, believed they were right, and also believed they were wrong if they didn't destroy the enemy.

Like I said before, so much is left to interpretation.

The trust that the 60 people already in the rotetion had put into the system expecting to be treated fairly was violated.

Just because they never knew it doesn't alter that.

You can rationalize until doomsday, but that won't change anything.

This has been beat to death so if you want the last word, go ahead, but that won't change anything either.

Bye bye.

since the new version came out i don't think moving a person won't be happening as much anymore since they can now read at the bottom of the viewers screen who's coming up next..but i still moved them if i call theire names 3x..and don't show up..

I am closing this thread. It has gotten way off of the original subject and getting a bit rediculous.
And Mark, I have the last word for now. Admin has the final word.
