As a sports bar owner in Dallas, Texas, you are faced with a tough decision. Tomorrow, both the Stars and Mavs will be playing at the same time – basketball at 8:30 and hockey at 9. Your question is which game will get the sound on your speakers?
One solution that has been suggested is to place two jars on the bar top, one designated for the Stars and the other for the Mavs. Customers can drop cash into the jar of their favorite team, and the team with the most cash in their jar will get the sound. The cash can be counted every 15 minutes and divided evenly among servers. This creative solution allows customers to directly influence which game gets played on the speakers, adding an element of fun and interaction to their sports viewing experience at your bar.
