A lot depends on tone and delivery. If his conduct is something I would never do, I think it's reasonable to judge it to

Do think a lot depends on tone but this did not sound like it was "light" at all.

A tip is for excellent service. Insulting the customer isn't excellent service.

why not try to make a friend? why solidify his bias?

If you're offended by this waiter's comments then you've taken offense where none was intended.
