Sitting at Olive Garden having a late-lunch (no decent Italian restaurants in my Cuban hood) - about 5 starff-members a few feet from me start screaming about someone's birthday and break into song - I find that shit so annoying and not really genuine to begin with - kinda analogous to a participation-trophy where everyone has to be made feel special even if it's fake.
Yeah. It’s lame. Especially when someone had the do it to you. But I guess not as bad as the bachelor party shows in strip clubs where they put the “lucky guy” on stage and embarrass him.

Exactly. The people you’re dining with know it’s your birthday and that’s all that matters. However there are those who enjoy being celebrated publicly - not my thing, but whatever.
Its kinda funny. I don't mind it. Its hell of a lot better than screaming kids or babies who shit themselves, loud groups, people who eat loudly... in restaurants. I always get Asian food to go, the sounds they make when they eat drive me crazy.
yeah such sing-out sessions in the Front Room? Seesh! They should have a VIP area or Cabana in the back where they take this party and go bonkers with birthday singalongs.

.... Papi, send this thread to Olive Garden!
I notice my female friends (attention junkies) like the singing happy birthday much more than guys.
