"You were given effective notice by a person in authority at that location. A higher authority for the owner has now given you oral permission that its ok, but other than your word, what is there to show that? "

Ok, so here is a wrinkle.. If it's Hooters, then most Hooter's are franchise locations with owners that control the specific property (likely leased). A manager working for the owner has the authority I believe to giver Verbal Notice.

Now, if the district/regional manager is a franchise manager (vs. a senior manager working for an owner of multiple franchises), then I don't believe that individual is a higher authority then the lawful owner of a Franchise location. I'd not assume that a district manager could countermand a local owner/manager for CHL purposes unless I knew the individual owned/controlled the actual property.
