The bow in this case means 'thank you for giving us your business'. Customers need not bow back to someone who provides a paid service (restaurant, shop, etc.)

Locals do not, and for westerners a simple acknowledgment would be plenty.

Since it was apparently not a sign of rudeness for me to not bow back, that means she did get the last laugh after all. Bummer. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif You just had to mention that!
