6 of my coworkers and I went to Duffy's Sports Bar for dinner this evening. The restaurant was so crowded, kids eat free night, that they opened the banquet room in order to seat more people. At one of the tables were seated 6 people. This group consisted of 3 females and 3 males, all in their early 70's. The table behind them seated about 15 people who were obviously enjoying some sort of celebration (maturely). Well, one of the older men from the table of 6 turned around in his chair and asked the table of 15 if they could quiet down because they were being too noisy. The old man then got up and went to the manager and complained about the restaurant being too noisy. I know this because my table was next to the manager so I could hear the conversation.
Now the good part.
I asked my waitress about the table of 6 older people and she Just rolled her eyes. She said "what do they expect, this is a SPORTS bar plus it's kids night." I asked the waitress if they sang Happy Birthday like they do at Chili's or Outback. She said yes. I gave the waitress 20 bucks and told her the following.
*Use the $20 to pay for a piece of cake and then keep the change. *Round up all waitresses/waiters, door greeters, bus boys, etc..
*Everyone come in and stand next to the old man.
*give the old man the piece of cake and everyone clap their hands and sing Happy birthday VERY, VERY loud.
* And I want this done while they are eating their dinner, not when they're done.
*Tell the old man the cake was sent anonymously.
About 5 minutes later in they came. All 12 employees. And guess what? When they started clapping and singing, so did every customer in the room, which was about 35 people. Needless to say, it got SUPER NOISY.
