If you like your ice cream blended with a variety of “mix-ins of nuts, fruits and candy to artistic perfection” plus a good dose of fascist/corporate/franchise fun, then look no further. Put some extra emphasis on the nuts and let us praise the Cold Stone Creamery® and its “entertaining environment”.
In case the whole ice cream being prepared on a frozen granite stone weren't enough (that's where the cold stone comes in, get it?) the folks here decided to add an entertainment factor to keep things interesting. Each time someone puts a tip in the jar, the entire staff breaks out into a clever take on a classic, well, known song. Like Take Me Out for some ICE CREAM. Clearly brilliant, but why, you ask? well, here's the rationale (according to the Cold Stone Creamery Website list of frequently asked questions).

Why do the crew members sing when they receive a tip?
The "Entertainment Factor" is meant to lend a fun, festive atmosphere in our stores and to set us apart from the competition. We seek out crew members who like to perform and we "audition", rather then "interview" them. Many of our crew members enjoy the singing so much that they develop new songs themselves

wow.

I guess it's like they say at the store: Say good-bye to frozen predictability and hello to a whole new way to experience dessert.
