Kristen Gillies points out that catering to a consumer-driven model of worship undercuts the very Gospel it (hopefully) seeks to communicate.

Consider the attitude of your heart as you enter your local place of worship. Are you seeking to be served by hospitable greeters serving up the perfect brew of coffee, or hoping to be emotionally stimulated by your preferred songs arranged with your ideal musical mixes and perfectly performed by your church worship team? Or, are you expecting your pastor to feed you just the right portions of God’s Word and only to your taste (not too fluffy, not too firm, not too sweet, not to salty)?
Or is your heart stirred by the example of Christ? Are you seeking to serve others as you have been humbly served by Christ?
