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.

Wow, note to self: Never tip Coldstone. I go there for ice cream, not to hear some employee sing.

I was also not aware of the singing rule. I love to sing, but having to sing for your tips is a FML on its own.

I worked at coldstone. the singing was the best part. it shows your personality. it makes you have fun and not be so up tight. and if we didn't sing for tips, then one would tip us.

Thank you for this FML, it's inspired me to find a Coldstone and bring a camera, tip a 20 and request every song available, and upload it to Youtube.

When I tip at Coldstone, I always tell them I don't need the song, because I feel like people go there to enjoy their ice cream, and the singing gets obnoxious, and it always bugs the crap out of me when people tip money just to hear a song b/c they want to annoy the workers. My point being that this guy was an asshole just for requesting the songs, and then a double asshole for saying that to you.
