Also, if food was the only consideration then movie theaters, music concerts, dance clubs, etc could all ask you to leave their property before you get entertained without giving you you're money back.
They can. To use your movie theater analogy, my local theater does not have a no chewing tobacco, no spitting on the floor sign. If I went in there and paid to watch a movie, then sat down put a big ol chunk of chew in, and then started spitting on the floor, the manager could ask me to stop and/or tell me to leave. And not have to refund my money.
I would contact BWW and see if the manager had the authority to demand you leave. We have to get to the bottom of requests like this to see if we have to leave or not. This concerns me.
I will almost guarantee any corp or business will tell you that the manager has the authority to demand you leave. Walmart from what I understand has a corporate policy of follow the state law in regards to carried handguns. But someone on here posted about being asked to leave because of one, he wrote corp and asked about it. Their response was we do have a policy of allowing firearms but the manager has ability to refuse service. Or words to that effect.
I think you are right - I should go talk to the store and make it known the manager handled situation poorly. There was no need to keep asking and asking and asking when I'd already stated that I wasn't going to cover or disarm.
I agree the manager handled it poorly. If I was him after you declined the second time, I would of brought you your check, told you to leave and that I would have the waitress box up your meal and I would deliver it to you outside. And informed you that you were not welcome in my establishment again. And possibly called the LEO to have an official record of you being trespassed.
