That's probably the case in every State, but I don't think Jim said they were being served. They are probably there drinking water and soda and wanting to sing too.

IN my state unless the establishment is a resteraunt, no minors are allowed in the building period. If it is a resteraunt then minors may stay until 9 pm or the shutdown of the kitchen which usually is shutdown earlier than bar closing time. If my establishment was one of these then they can sing prior to the shutdown of the kitchen but not after.

I bartend as well as KJ. My advice would be to have the bar stop giving out glasses of water and sell bottles of water. This way it works the bar makes money and the customer isn't paying for tap water.

This had an adverse affect on the customer base, because they would have to shell out 4.50 for a bottle of Miller Lite, and mixed drinks went from 5.25 to 6.25. He was hoping to offset the sales of licquor and promote more food sales. (VA requires that a percentage of food be sold to offset the cost of booze. like 2/3 food to 1/3 ABC). The drinkers in the house were not eaters, 'cept stuff like wings and other appetizers. So he's still hanging in there, no minors after 9pm, ID checks at nine and if you drink you gotta pay the price, no hanging around. So far ABC hasn't been in there to shut him down. but his place is one of the few places in the area with Karaoke 7 nights a week.

Singers Spend No Money
I think sometimes, and I have seen it happen, a KJ forgets he/she is providing entertainment, and is paid by the establishment to do so. Your job is to provide the outlet entertainment, not to police what the customers drink or eat, or to (sic) punish the customer if he or she fails to meet a certain criteria. They all should be treated the same by the KJ. As an entertainer, my only wish is to fill the house and provide the best entertainment I can and hope the majority likes it well enough to return. The Club/establishment should provide food and beverages, hopefully at a price that will entice all to partake of the same, plus, do their best to provide an atmosphere that will produce the best results.
I have never had it happen, but if an owner/manager has a problem with a non-drinker, etc. and wanted to make a point, i would simply hand them a mic and let them make the announcement. That is not in my job description. I will make any other announcement i'm asked to do. It has worked for me for thirty years or so and i have never played a club/establishment that has not asked me to return time and time again. Knock on wood!!!! Just an opinion, Muzicman |

Singers Don't Spend
I don't want to get into a hissing contest. My only point was it is not the entertainer's job to police the customer and decide who stays and who goes. I would hope the owner/manager has that responsiblity here. The rest of your opinion is a no-brainer.

Singers Spend No Money
Seems to be a slight mis-communication here. On your opinion, you ended with the question "would you rather have a full house of paying customers, or a house of non-paying customers". To which my reply was that Part of your opinion is a "no-brainer", as everyone knows the answer. Nothing derogatory meant towards you in anyway. If you took it any other way, it wasn't meant to be that way.
Hope this clears it up for you. muzicman |
