The idea of the manager being paternalistic is stupid, but manager as tool is not. What if the narrative villifies the less charismatic individual sufficiently? Instead of the manager arriving to rescue other customers, the manager plays the role of a tool. What if the other customers used the manager as a tool, and being a dimwitted jerk, he took the cue as an opportunity to engaging misanthropic behavior. Other girls at the bar wanted to cause harm to someone they didn’t like the looks of, so they complain to the manager, craft a lie, and the manager takes the bait, enforcing the will of malicious tattletales? Or, what if the manager is actually operating the bar as a front for a nearby hotel brothel, and at the request of a pimp, ousted an unfamiliar face that seemed to be a threat to business? Would these versions be juicy enough to satisfy a quest for truth?
