Why that word keeps showing up is really beyond me. It's clearly non-standard English and marks the user as somewhat gauche on it's face. Beyond that, it's fairly easy to interpret it's use as misogynistic and backward.
as for the case at hand...it's bad business practice is what it is. it obviously caused offense and strife to the customer, who was apparently otherwise pleased with the meal. even if such a label provided some level of ease in referring to a party at a table, there isn't going to be a tip (or a return visit) if they think they've been targeted or slandered.
