It's fun, and quite cathartic.

No. That wouldn't have accomplished anything.

The example of the owner who refused to "omit" a side, a context which
you trimmed out, was extreme. The response I suggested was no more
so. Some son of a bitch restaurant owner who insists that I allow him
to plop down some hideous, faux mayo slop onto my plate, or I can take
my business elsewhere is going to suffer worse consequences than
merely losing that sale. I can assure you of that.
