Oh absolutely, and it was meant to be slightly hyperbolic to take the edge off of the post itself. I assume that actual congratulation of an employee would sound like "Good call, that's just what I would have done and I am sure the other guests appreciated it."
But when a conversation as lively as this one could get tense I prefer a bit of hyperbole. Other versions might be:
"Oh thank goodness you got rid of her, I don't know how we'll ever get the patchouli smell out of the cushions."
"Well I am glad that gypsy woman is gone but she left her demon. Should that go in the lost and found or did she leave an address?"
"Whew that's a relief, let's go get the sage and get rid of them tarot vibes"
or even
"I'm so glad you did that. I love tarot but can you believe he brought out a Thoth deck... with all these people around. Some people just never think of others' safety. I mean th THOTH deck!"
