Insane Owners

There is a fine dining restaurant in Central Florida, been in business over twenty years and one of the few upscale places I refused to work, no matter what. The owner had quite a reputation as a real nut case, firing servers for serving desserts on a busy night, etc.
Any way, I'm not working there, but sitting at the bar one night waiting for a friend of mine to finish his shift. The front door opens and a couple enters, a very famous pro golfer and his wife. There are many pro golfers who live in the area and it's not unusual to see them around town. The owner greets the golfer by name and the golfer says to him, " I see there are some new restaurants opening up nearby, are you getting nervous"? This owner, without any hesitation, looks up in disgust and nearly screams at this guy, "Does Tiger Woods get nervous when you fucking go on tour"?
Needless to say, the golfer got pissed and walked out the door, I'm sure he won't be back. What a way to say hospitality !!
