Blarg, I was referring to your points that the dad was at fault for not calling ahead and for asking to speak to the manager.

I never said that. I just said he should call ahead. He may or may not get the manager, but at the least, he's given himself a chance to avoid wasting some time if they say no.

Now, if the father had called ahead to ask, and been told that they would get a song, he would be blameless for not going to a different restaurant. But he shouldn't even have stepped in the door of this one without even asking if they do that kind of thing.

I don't get this vitriol for showing up at the restaurant to ask, esp when this is a known kids/family restaurant AND there are more restaurants close by as a contingency if they get there and are told that they changed their policy.
