Friday evening and Saturday night, my husband and I ate at two different restaurants. The first restaurant had three birthdays during the time we were there. The servers would gather, clap, sing and give a free dessert to the birthday person. The second night, the entire time we were at the restaurant there was five or six birthday's. These servers would gather and say Ye-Haw! Could there really be that many people in the same towns in the same restaurants celebrating their birthday on the exact day?
While talking with our server on Friday, I asked if she believed all of the people she sang to if it was their birthday. She said no. I said you should check IDs. She said it would be better if it was a milestone birthday. I think it would be better if restaurants just stop signing, clapping and embarrassing people on their birthday. Just hand them a dessert and say Happy Birthday. The whole restaurant doesn't need to know about it because nobody cares if it is Jimmy's 14th birthday, especially when he isn't a family member.
