No I wouldn't, but in regards to this story it never really happened. How did the media get word of this story? Did the “victim” report it? The story said none of the employees remember this incident. A receipt would indicate who served this woman. If the woman was served first, how did she know exactly what they were going to order? I call BS on this whole thing.

Sure, kindness hurts an enemy more than telling them off.

I remember listening to Penn Jillette of Penn & Teller. Anyone who has ever heard him knows he is outspoken, self-deprecating, etc, but generally honest about his flaws. He once told a story about he (when he was much younger) would talk smack about Siegfried & Roy publicly, and every time they would call (or send a note & fruit basket) and thank him for the mention. No sarcasm. Just a thanks for the publicity.
