Okay, if everything is hunky-dory and the manager dumps you for price, then obviously the manager thinks that there is a difference and separation between "karaoke" (the entertainment) and "jclaydon" (the service provider and host.)
The logical extention is that the manager must believe that the people come "for karaoke" alone and not "karaoke with jclaydon."
It shouldn't be only about the form of entertainment... it should be about who's providing it.
i agree with you Chip, it should be. unfortunately the owners that see it that way are becoming fewer and fewer. a lot of owners do what their buddies are doing. if they have a $50.00 guy doing karaoke and never had otherwise, thats all they know. so to him, it is doing well. paying 3 times that for what he perceives as the same thing (it's karaoke, NOT karaoke with so & so thats important) it makes no sense to him. and most bar owners are as fickle as teenage girls and as soon as they get the crooked look from their friends for "overpaying".....
you hit it on the head, most DO believe that it is the karaoke that is bringing people in, not the host. so their buddy pays $50.00 for karaoke, why should anybody pay more, they see it the same way as if it was booze. if Tom pays $10.00 for a bottle of whiskey, why should Dave pay $30.00. the part that wasn't discussed is that the $10.00 bottle was store brand well and the $30.00 bottle was gentleman jack. they don't discuss that part, just whiskey / $10.00 / $30.00
