I smile lovingly at the recipient of that honor and I clap when they are finished. I think it’s sweet.

I like to try and hit the Birthday person in the head with a Dinner Roll. If, it a woman, I butter it first for her.

Answer by srebeck
You know what? Inwardly, I cringe for the victim, for the lucky birthday boy or the birthday girl. We do NOT sing Happy Birthday for the person celebrating their birthday; we sing happy birthday for that person’s friends. It is because they want the satisfaction of having made a proper to-do for their friend or loved one.

I would NEVER want the birthday song sung for me, but if other patrons request the birthday song treatment, for power to them.

Answer by D S
If they are sitting close to my table, I join in singing with them. If I leave before the birthday person, I tell them happy birthday when I am leaving the restaurant.

I SING ALONG HOOT AND HOLLER AND CLAP REALLY LOUD

Answer by chefgrille
I depends on my mood. If they’re right by me, I’ll watch and then clap. If I’m further away, I just keep talking and eating and maybe clap just to add to the celebration.

I just keep on with the conversation I was having with my dining partner, and pretend I don’t hear them. When I go out to dine, it’s usually to relax in a quiet atmosphere.

Answer by honeyc73
depends. usually it is ok, we just continue on with our meal. one night we were at a large chain resturant and seriously, they sang every 2 minutes! One would be over and then “Happy Ba ba ba ba” then smile, okay what was i saying? then “yeah, happy ba ba ba ba” wow, lots of birthdays tonight, what did you just say? “everyone todd has a birthday!!! happy ba ba ba ba!”
I was loosing my mind!!!!

Answer by sweet dream
I smile and feel happy that someone is celebrating their birthday and having a good time.

Then I look forward to when it will be my birthday and they will sing for me.
