I can understand shops not wanting people hogging tables at lunch times, but such a blanket ban just seems like it would backfire on them, they'll lose the remote office ones they don't want, but I know if I went out at lunch to read my book while I ate my lunch and they wouldn't let me then I'd ask for a refund and go elsewhere and in the future I would avoid the place too including the other times in the week when I might be going out to lunch with a bunch of workmates.
Also, I wouldn't be surprised if some people took the time to prove the absurdness of such an absolute rule by demonstrating how easy it would be to hog a table with a paper book etc.
