This is where a cool dad clears a little space, stand up on the table and says:

"Hey Everybody, it's little Billy's birthday today!!!! He's 6 years old and we're all gonna sing him Happy Birthday together!!!!"

All while stomping a nice beat out on the table top.

QFT. Once they realized the waiter wasn't going to sing to the kid, why couldn't the family sing to the kid themselves?

Even if the dad managed to get his way after arguing with the manager, I'm pretty sure the singing from the staff wouldn't have been all that enthusiastic.

It's a real douche move on the restaurant's part, though. The manager obviously didn't get the word out to the staff that "Happy birthdays" are no longer to be sung. The manager handled this atrociously. They obviously lost themselves some customers.

Business decision. They didn't lose the kind of customers they want anyway.
