...where I was a janitor in HS & college, tye jukebox was a dime a song 6 for 50 cents.
But, the guy who owned the vending machine outfit was my HS biology teacher.
So, he showed me where the magic button was. When working in the bar area, I'd press it a dozen times & play singles.
In the rest of the place I'd put the FM rock station(s) on the building sounds system.
But, in the bar it was free jukebox.

...I was the only janitor.
The first summer, the full-time guy retired. I gave them 3 months to find another guy.
The next summer, the guy they replaced him with got fired for drinking on the job.
The old guy came back in September but was going to leave again in June. So, I did that summer too.
3 years in a row!
Just lucky. They were too, because I obviously knew the routine. I'd been working there on Saturday and Sunday mornings since I was 14!
