Waterfront Food Outlets Staff damaging Waterfront Name by driving people not purchasing foods from their stores away from Waterfron entirely

My husband and I often goes to the waterfront when we go for a run in the area and often go for a bite to eat and simply chill thereafter at the waterfront. However there is a new pattern going around at most of the eateries at the waterfront one namely the Root Bar and the franchise next to them towards the outside door. Not Seattle . There are only a few franchises in this particular area with woolies also next door and there is an outside area to sit and eat and enjoy the view at the same time. The times we go there is often very quiet and so wherever we purchase something to eat (at any of the eateries at the Waterfront) we end up in this area to eat our food and simply enjoy the view. However, we were recently approached by Two ladies from the RootBar and the other franchise and asked to leave as they saw we food from another eatery also from the waterfron.

This behaviour leaves a bad taste and I simply do not want to visit the V+A waterfron any longer. I would prefer to spend my money where I am welcome to walk freely.
