What is it about Mexican joints that they love to do this? I swear, all the ones in Phoenix tend to do this elaborate thing where the entire wait staff comes out clapping and singing some birthday song derivative. It's awkward, loud, and you know the staff must just absolutely HATE doing it. Yay let's go be spazzes and make a big scene for someone we don't know who is probably embarrassed too.

That said, they should have honored their word, however unqualified the hostess was to give it. And then post something in the break room that says that they don't do that anymore so there's no more confusion in the future.

have you ever been to a macaroni grill? I was there on a service call, and saw some lady's birthday. id rather eat with no pants on in a crowded restaurant, than have an opera singer bring me some cake.

LOL. I waited tables at Macaroni Grill for a year and a half. People LOVE that opera [censored]. Ugh, nothing less I'd rather have happen to me at a table either. BUT I will say it's better than 6 or 7 dead-eyed Friday's waiters mumbling through Happy Birtday while scanning their tables over in the corner the whole time.

As far as OP, I still don't understand what kind of 6-year old can't get into his family singing happy b-day instead of some stupid waitstaff. Kid sounds a little spoiled. Although I totally agree the owner should have made an exception and lived up to what the hostess promised. You should try to publish your story somewhere local and give that restaurant some bad press.
