WASHINGTON – OCTOBER 14: The words “In God We Trust” are seen on U.S. currency October 14, 2004 in Washington, DC. Although the U.S. constitution prohibits an official state religion, references to God appear on American money, the U.S. Congress starts its daily session with a prayer, and the same U.S. Supreme Court that has consistently struck down organized prayer in public schools as unconstitutional opens its public sessions by asking for the blessings of God. The Supreme Court will soon use cases from Kentucky and Texas to consider the constitutionality of Ten Commandments displays on government property, addressing a church-state issue that has ignited controversy around the country.

A Chicagoland restaurant owner has apologized after confronting a customer for not tipping. He threatened to slap the s*** out of them, according to reports!

The Evanston, Illinois restaurant owner was caught on video following a customer down the street while clearly very made that a customer didn't leave a tip on a $20 meal, according to The New York Post. Sure, you should always try to tip when you go out to eat but what did he expect? A $5 tip isn't worth chasing someone down and starting something! Sure, several $5 tips can add up but it's not worth all the attention he's getting now, I'm sure. Kenny Chou, owner of Table to Stix ramen shop, has been identified as the owner in question in the viral video, per The New York Post.

In the clip, the customer can be heard saying, "I paid for my food. I handed you $20. You cannot charge more than what you paid, so what are you talking about?" The owner went on to ask the customer how his staff are supposed to make money and even threatened to slap the s*** out of the customer, per The New York Post.

Chou has since apologized for his behavior that was seen in the viral video. He says he was driven by rage and frustration over the struggling business, per The New York Post. Reports say he attempted to make amends by sending the customer's brother his favorite meal for free along with a handwritten apology.

It's one of those things though where is he really sorry or is he just sorry that he was caught on video and now it's bad for business? Always be nice and treat people with respect!
