It adds the option of "have a debate". It increases the chance of winning because while that chance may be small, it is zero if you just take your leave.

I fear that people at other tables, trying to enjoy their meals, will think of him as being quite the reverse of a winner, no matter the outcome of his childish, petty "debate" -- and I would tend to agree with their assessment.

Absolutely.
Also irrelevant.

We're agreed, then: Only a d1ckhead and a loser would "debate" the issue, which is fully covered both by law and the guidelines of decent behaviour.

Yes, I'd hate the guy who disturbed my meal with his stupid debate, and I expect most people would feel the same way.
I'd also be the guy who disturbs other peoples' meals with his stupid debate, knowing full well that people will hate me for it.
That makes me a dickhead, and I'm ok with that.

I agree with you, I would of debated the policy also as I think it's unfair however I think he shouldn't of mentioned income reductions or termination of the staff member, it put's himself in a negative light.

Certainly in the UK, a bar (and it's staff) have the right to refuse service to anyone for any (or no) reason.
If a bar decides "no Glass" or even "no phones" then that is it's decision - and you go along with it or go elsewhere.
I'm willing to bet that if you went into Vegas casino with Glass on, you would be politely but firmly asked to remove them or leave...

Just out of curiosity, what if a bar decides to refuse service to all members of a specific race?

What, like the London Marathon?

Are you doing that deliberately to annoy us "grammar-nazis"? 
It's "have", not "of".
Also:

There's no apostrophe in "puts", and it should be "him", not "himself".

Sorry, its not something I'd usually take note of in forums. Anything written by me on a forum is just quick and dirty.

I'll reply to this post to take into context the discussion above as well, but my quote is actually from your first one:
Richard Deeming wrote: There's not apostrophe in "puts", and it should be "him", not "himself".
Shouldn't that be "there's no apostrophe", or "there's not an apostrophe"?
And no, my English is by no means perfect. Grammanize at will!

Damnit! Why does every attempt to correct someone else's grammar contain at least one mistake?

It's Carma in action.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Oh, come on! 
CARMA (not to be confused with Karma[^]) may refer to:
- Carma, a transportation technology company (formerly known as Avego), based in Cork, Ireland
- Carma Developers, Canadian residential land developing company
- Carbon Monitoring for Action, part of the Center for Global Development
- Chicago Area Radio Monitoring Association, scanner radio listeners club based in the Chicago Illinois area
- Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-wave Astronomy, astronomical instrument composed of 23 radio telescopes
- Computer-Assisted Research Mathematics and its Applications, a Priority Research Centre at the University of Newcastle, Australia

Center for Global Development wrote: Center for Global Development
Which is the definitive proof that yanks can't spell properly (CGD is, apparently, Washington-based) vs:
Priority Research Centre wrote: Priority Research Centre
Which spells properly, following the rules set long ago by the Great Empire.
