Eating Own Food In A Cafe

Eating my own sandwich (with a locally purchased drink) in a local Tesco cafe today I was "told off" by the (presumably manager) as there is a sign up saying only food purchased on the premises etc. etc.
It later transpired that the lady who serves me at the till every day had obviously "shopped me" which I was a bit disappointed to discover as I go in there quite a lot for a drink (and eat nothing).

Are they being a little petty? I understand that they don't want to lose money but (aside from the point that it's rarely a choice between one's own food and theirs anyway for most people in practice) the cafe was practically empty.

Anyway tomorrow I will get my revenge by paying for my 70p milk shake with a £20 note :-)

I think taking your own food to a cafe is a tad cheeky . the seating in the cafe is for people that buy from them if you dont want to buy from them you can expect to use there facilities, if everyone did that they would go out of business. that makes you think you are the exception to the rule !
