Weird topic, I know. But, have you ever watched TV at a bar? Have you ever asked for a TV to be changed to a specific channel to watch a specific show or game? Do you think it's rude for a customer to ask for a TV in a bar to be changed to a different channel?

rule no. 1, the t.v.s are there for the customers. rule no. 2, it's a democracy on changing the channels, if there is no objection to changing the channel, so be it as long as the next channel does not pizzz someone off. generally it's always some type of sports which is hardly likely to pizzz peeps off.

Yes, I've watched tv in a bar. No, I personally haven't asked to have the channel changed but I worked in a bar for 13 yrs and had a few customers who did.

Someone is always watching what is on. Why are they bad for asking? The tvs are there to be watched by customers. If someone is already watching, chances are, the channel won't be changed.

My experience is the channel gets changed. Since I drink tea it seems I don't get to vote...

Never change the channel if FOX News is on! That would be un-American.

Do you think it's rude for a customer to ask for a TV in a bar to be changed to a different channel? I've asked for one to be changed before. But the bar we were in had t.v.s all over the place,so it wasn't really a big deal. I wouldn't ask if there was only one t.v. and a lot of people watching whatever was on it though.

Did the bartender ask you if it was ok to change the channel? Did you speak up?

I understand why they have them in bars and restaurants though.

I understand why they have them in bars and restaurants though. I like going to watch games. When I've asked for a certain game to be put on the tv, I've heard the bartender ask others if they mind. And I've also heard others ask for something to be turned on and the bartender has asked those of us already there if we mind. When a place has 4 or 5 tvs, it's never usually an issue either.
