The police aren’t going to get involved with an incident like this. They have to deal with much more serious incidents, such as burglaries. So they’re not getting involved because a restaurant manager followed you to your car. If she followed you home, that could be considered stalking.

As far as the incident itself, I do understand how you feel. The manager wasn’t gracious about your complaint. That’s just the lack of etiquette that I’ve also seen on the part of restaurant servers and managers in today’s world.

Having said that, I respectfully disagree with your complaint. If I saw an ad which stated “lunch special $5.99 for fish and chips,” I would assume that meant dine-in. Restaurant specials often apply to dine-in only, not take out. I don’t think you should have made an issue out of it. Why not enjoy the fish and chips at a table or the bar area?
