You don't tip...

I tip at the counter just as I do at Cold Stone Creamery. The difference is that the pizza place doesn't sing when I leave a tip. The Cold Stone Creameries that I go to usually do.

The singing annoys me. When I tip at ColdStone, I tell them up front, "If you start singing, I'm taking it back." They always appreciate a customer that asks them not to sing because (most of them) don't enjoy that part of the job anyway.

I like the singing but I don't go to Cold Stone that often. I would hate it if I went more often.

I don't know about the "most of." I know some of them don't look too thrilled. LOL.

I've only seen a couple of workers who actually look excited about it. The vast majority have been "not too thrilled."
