you idiots do realize that the dad asked most likely the dumbest person in the place, the hostess, if they could do it. she didnt know the policy, and was corrected by the owner. end of story. and seriously, if the hostess said that they dont sing happy birthday do you think the dad is going to pile everyone back in the car and go somewhere else?

The hostess should know the policy, as should all of the staff. Really what should he have done? Asked to speak to the manager or owner of the restauant to get the happy bday policy?

To answer the question, yes, we would have most likely gone to one of the other places that were within 10 minutes of driving distance. This was a special night for his son, not for the rest of us. We aren't so lazy we would refuse to take the 1 minute walk back to the car, followed by the 10 minute drive.
