The patrons start to notice the escort.
One waiter simultaneously holding up the cake and preventing the candles from going out, flanked on either side by more waiters.
The diners know the drill.
Their individual conversations cease as they join in the restaurant staff’s song.
Everyone knows the words.
The strangers pause whilst those in the know fill in name gap.
There is a round of applause and everyone goes back to their meals.
It starts in an instant and it’s over in a flash.
Complete strangers briefly united in song to enhance someone else’s experience.
A spontaneous moment of kindness that could reignite your faith in humanity
