Enough with the fun

Corporate fun is some of the most depressing stuff around.

Some of the worst offenders: Coldstone Creamery, where the miserable staff breaks into mandatory song every time a customer is foolish enough to leave a tip. That's right -- a disincentive to reward the help.

Southwest Airlines, where flight attendants crack wise about missed connections, bumpy landings, and drunken pilots. Hilarious!

And TGIF, where every birthday is an occasion for public humiliation:

Note (a) the mortification of the "honoree", (b) the fleeing of the staff once their forced frivolity is finished, and (c) the waitress who counsels the customer with "Show some emotion, I know it sucks."
