And getting someone fired over a minor insult is not admirable. Had the manager simply taken the girls' lunch out of the bartender's pay, he'd have made his point sufficiently. People over-react. Indeed, I think they enjoy over-reacting.

People that I hire (like me) mean well but do screw up. In all the years of my business, I have encountered only one who I so serously misjudged in the hiring process. She was socially irredemable and needed to be bandished from the land of the living.
She was a black racist who I hired on the begging of a Black Christian minister, who I love. That never happened again. God Himself, uses ministers to attempt redemnation of the demon possessed; not my business. I will help the normal down and out and that works out okay. She actually attacked a white employee like she was rabid at work. She was “dissed”, then she was unemployed, then she was back in prison where she belonged.
I would still fire someone who referred to customers as fat in writting if my business is a resturant. Treating customers like they are the pay check would not be in doubt by the bartenders in that business enviornment if I were the boss. Writing “fat” on the customer’s receipt...that is so aggressively disrespectful, how do I know he’s not spitting or beating off in the customers’ food?
