No restaurant manager I know is going to throw out a calm customer who is justifiably annoyed by the lack of good customer service. Even better, I can't imagine any manager calling the police in such a situation. The cops would just laugh.
Well said. I would add ...

When you use a curse in a restaurant you are not detained by police. I am sure the px would have been delighted to have been told to immediately leave the airplane.

Related topic -- I noticed an uptrend in customer service people seemingly trying to get you to curse so as to then have an excuse to deny you further service. IOW: "Now that I've screwed up enough to make you curse I can quit trying to correct my mistakes."
