True. And some people cross the line by getting indignant and disrespectful if they're not hearing exactly what they want when they want it. Even the greatest cover band in the world CAN be stumped, and even if they play something from the same artist that often isn't enough to appease drunken a$$@#^&%s who just can't be pleased. Any professional knows that, so ya deal with it and move on.

No snarky, just commenting on how it's all part of the gig.

A snarky response to a request is unprofessional.
100% of the time.
There are moments when persistent requests turns into heckling.
Hecklers should be handled by security.
100% of the time.
