Oh yeah. They're always trying to play this trick. Sometimes they will tell you that your gig is a "audition" and if you pass the audition, you MAY get to play for money sometime. The best thing to do is leave, like you did. Another trick bar owners play is to tell you that before you can get paid, you have to draw in a certain number of people. Then, of course it's all on you to get people to come to the show and then magically you don't seem to draw in enough people to get paid.

.... If at first you don't succeed, blame your parents!
