This is a fairly common occurrence, and the restaurant owner apologized and thanked him for contacting the authorities. Edelman suggested a resolution that isn't even provided for in the law and tried to bully the restaurant to honoring the non-legally binding resolution. He was petty and acted in bad faith.

Also, there is another element here that may be lost on people who do not hold professional positions within a community, but people should really behave in a professional and courteous manner when interacting with local businesses, and Edelman has learned that important lesson. This restaruant has been around for awhile and in a cutthroat culinary environment like Boston, that means that the community appreciates their food and service (as evidenced by the outpour of support for the restaurant: http://www.boston.com/food-dining/restaurants/2014/12/10/sichuan-garden-overwhelmed-outpouring-support/C3EF1swmLDlWAzAb1StLlO/story.html?p1=trending_article_page_4.) Considering that, he could have raised his grievance with the restaurant in a much more courteous fashion, but he decided to be a bully over $4, and while you may find this behavior appealing, most people with a sense of class and decorum will not.
