they should get something comp'd for the hostess' mistake but I think it's ridiculous to expect to have happy bday sung against the restaurant's policy.

Part of this doesn't have anything to do with their refusal to follow through on what the hostess said they would do.
Another part of it is where "she got very rude with him and said, its a restauant, not a dinner threatre. If you want singing take him to a show."


This is out of line and inappropriate assuming that the Dad was being polite and was not escalating the situation as much as Blarg is speculating.

This a significant point by the way.
Blarg keeps insisting that the guy was escalating it and practically harassing them. Whereas I think Eld and I and others are picturing the guy being polite with the waiter and saying, "That's weird because you guys told me something different. Maybe I could speak to the manager about this" or something like that.
