The people who left this one-star review should pick a different bar to hang out at… or was it actually their bartender who was out of line? Commenters were totally split on who was technically at fault in this situation. 

Twitter user @MyNameIsAmy shared a funny anecdote from her job. Customers left a one-star review at her place of business, calling her out for a pretty petty reason. In their review, the customers were annoyed that their group wasn't permitted to change the music. However, I think it was more so the tone of the employee's refusal that they took issue with. 

Commenters and quote tweeters were quite divided on this. Were the customers in the wrong for demanding a song be changed? Did they really have the right idea by leaving a one-star review on an entire establishment just because of the actions of one employee? And most importantly, can a hard working bartender not rock out for a little while, as a treat?? Check out the whole controversy below and see what you think of this debacle. 

Up next, one person shared his story of the time a coworker snapped "NO" at him — and the way he delivered a righteous message back to her.

    Font - ← E 1 review ●●● : an hour ago NEW The girl working at the front wouldn't let us change the music and was playing hard rock which no one wanted to listen to. I ask if I could request a song to which she said no, and then I asked if I could play a different genre (because she was playing weird rock music). She said no and I asked about changing the genre to which she said "I've been working 12 hours, so no." If I am a patron at this bar I expect to be able to listen to the music my group w

    Font - Wheyfu @MyNamylsAmy Just to clarify, I don't own the bar, I am just the only employee working on Wednesdays, I just typed this really quickly while walking to my car and didn't really think about how I worded it so I just need to clear that up since this post gained some traction.

    Font - Wheyfu @MyNamylsAmy : Replying to @rotor_bolt im there to serve drinks not do whatever people want. If we wanted customers to have the option to pick the music we would invest in touch tunes, but we don't, so we won't. Trash take, and you probably shouldn't veiw service industry workers as servants, because they arent.

    Font - OWUchi pog◊ @PRBUchiha Replying to @MyNamylsAmy Honestly 12 hours is understandable but if the bar was empty was it too much to just put their music? BTW idgaf if you did or not it doesn't change your customer service or tip as music is not related to the subject im just curious....

    Font - Blaise @This_Is_Blaise Replying to @MyNamylsAmy I work at a country bar and people ask me ALL the time to change it to a different genre, and I simply tell them "if you don't want to listen to country there's a bar next door that plays different music."

    Font - Wheyfu @MyNamylsAmy Replying to @itsbritttbish I was not having it Imfao, I only stayed open the last hour because they came in so I was already cleaning everything and jamming out, and my manager and coworker were hanging out drinking so I was not changing the vibe or my mood

    Font - Wheyfu @MyNamylsAmy : Replying to @LoTheMenace The entitlement to go to an establishment that doesn't have touch tunes or public music access and demand that you get to listen to what you want is hilarious to me. I'm not listening to music I don't like when I work, thats just how it is.

    Font - 800 TheDNAof Money @aof_dn : Replying to @MyNamylsAmy Sounds kind of petty...why do patrons go to establishments that they then want to control? Do they think that their $50 tab buys them that level of privilege?
