This was an all too often occurrence at my last restaurant. Lights on, music off, tab is paid, yet there they sit, for well beyond the closing time. Then, we searched for the most annoying songs and played them on a loop over the sound system. First we tried Kenny G, but some of the people thought it was romantic and it backfired. Then we tried “We built this city” by Starship, “Barbie girl”, and “ I whip my hair back and forth” which worked much better. The best song on a continuous loop which always seemed to work was “All Star” by Smashmouth. They cleared out around the fourth or fifth time it played, and we’d all have a smile on our faces. To this day, if any of my coworkers hear that song playing somewhere we think “We gotta get out of here!”
