Today, I was working at Coldstone. When a customer tips us we are required to sing. A late night DJ came in, put 20 dollars in the tip cup, and asked to hear every song we had. After we sang one song he looked at me and asked me to please stop singing or he was taking his money back. FML

Today, I was at a karaoke bar. After a few drinks, I gave it a go. Halfway through “Total Eclipse of the Heart” I got so into it, I knocked over the mic stand. The mic flew off, hit the DJ, who then hit the emergency stop button, cutting off the music. I froze as the bar erupted into laughter. I did get a free Coke for my “performance,” which was something.

Not a FML. You got a $20 tip. Did you actually WANT to have to sing more?

I don't expect my local Coldstone workers to have Grammy-worthy talent. I expect them to sound like people who work for $6.75 an hour or whatever and are required by their part time job to sing to customers. I don't even like that rule, I think its awkward and kind of humiliating.

Yeah, this is bullshit. You have to try out to be Coldstone employee. If you were that bad at singing you wouldn't have been hired.

Yeah, what #2 said. You have to be able to be in harmony so it doesn't sound crappy.

I'd give you a tip but I wouldn't want you to sing. I'm guessing this was on the radio, right?

he sounded like an annoying and rude customer. just because he put a 20 dollar tip he thinks he can order people around? the rule says the workers sing when a customer tip them. it doesn't say "the workers sing for every dollar you put on the tip jar."
