Vince wasn't stupid. He knew what Rody was doing. Every time Vince got pissed either at a customer or employee, the waiter would go get you. Rody could tell that Vince liked you, and relied on you to keep Vince from losing his shit. And it worked every time.

When Rody shoved you in the kitchen, Vince was reprimanding a sous chef for making a dish wrong. He had her bent over, holding her head steady above the burner as he scolded her. Vince wasn't yelling, he rarely yelled. But his voice had a threatening undertone.
