"You can't throw us out!" Bernard shouted, his face turning red again. "We're customers too!"
"Actually, you're not customers," the manager replied coolly. "You never ordered anything, you've been harassing other diners, and you've created a disturbance that has made multiple guests uncomfortable. Please leave now, or I'll have to call the police.
