I just got back from dinner. I went out to eat with some buddies, and I thought it would be funny as an embarrassing prank that when one of my friends got up to use the restroom I told our waitress that it was his birthday (it is not even close to his birthday) so that when he would come back they would sing to him.

They gave him a free dessert. He admitted it was funny, but said it was an asshole thing to do, because it was basically stealing a free dessert.

I didn't even know they were going to give him a free dessert, I assumed they would just sing to him. But the dessert was like a couple bucks in value anyway so I don't think it is a big deal.

I'm sure the couple bucks they lose from giving away one free dessert is worth it for the people at other tables who notice it and say "Oh, we should come here for ___'s birthday!"

And you're not an a-hole. 15 seconds of embarrassment, he'll be fine.

Your friend needs to chill out, imagine being worried about some corporation's bottom line.

Uh pretty much every restaurant ever will give you a free dessert if you say it's someone's birthday. I've never heard of any restaurant just singing happy birthday and not giving you anything.

Nah you're good. Only thing that could possibly make you an ass is if your friend was really against birthday singing like that. But he laughed at it, so it's whatever.

Now if you did this all the time when you go out to eat, that's just stealing desserts, but once in a great while is pretty funny, as long as the other person is ok with it.

You could also think of it like this

If you don't do this on his Birthday than you just got it out of the way while you were there.
