Crappy Music in Tiki Bars/Restaurants - General Tiki

I've gone into a couple tiki bars where they clearly just put on the Top 40 or "classic rock" channel - the hell with, y'know, the actual THEME of the place?! Tom Schnabel on KCRW once talked about how a friend of his had opened a restaurant, but was just playing, as Schnabel put it, "lite-FM." So he offered to make him a playlist. If it's a friend, sure you can ask. But what can we do? Do owners appreciate some know-it-all telling them how to run their business, no matter how polite we are?
