I also try to be respectful of those that are using the jukebox. I figure if I'm scheduled to start at 9:00 and they plug some money in the Jukebox at 8:45 they're entitled to the next 15 minutes to try and hear the songs they chose.
I sometimes have the people who will come up and go, man, I just put $5 in the jukebox! There may be 10 singers signed up already and that guy playing pool with his girlfriend will still think they got cheated out of their 10 metallica songs.
So what I do is ask them if they remember what songs they picked, and I do my best to play a few of them in between singers or when I have a chance to take a break.
I agree that the customer who put money in the jukebox should be treated nicely, as that jukebox is there to earn money for the venue just like everything else inside it.
I used to put a sign on the jukebox that says "KARAOKE STARTS AT 10, JUKEBOX WILL BE TURNED OFF AT 10" and I found it didn't really help; but when I used that sign I didn't feel quite as bad about turning it off. I guess I should start doing that again since I am moving my time up an hour and people might not know about it yet.
Tape it over the dollar bill acceptor so they have to lift the sign to put money in.
