If the waiter can't say, ok it's time to close down the restaurant for the evening, they can't give you notice to leave. Same thing with a walmart cashier. They don't speak for the overall interests of the store. That is what managers are for.
How do you know he does not speak for the establishment. He is an employee and represents the establishment in its interactions with you. Do you accept the food he or she brings you? Do you accept if they tell you they don't take personal checks? What makes you think only a manger can tell you? Is that in the law or is that just how you want it to be?
The argument you make would mean the waiter sets policy on all those things you lay out and I assure you they don't.

No it doesn't. You are putting words in my mouth and or twisting what I said.

It means the person has the authority and duty to follow company policy. That policy may direct them to tell open carriers they have to cover up, leave or put your gun in your car.

A place can be sued if an employee makes a racist remark, harrasses or injures someone. I sell insurance policies that cover third party employment practices liability. If it couldn't happen, there wouldn't be an insurance policy covering it and it companies wouldn't buy it.

How can this be so hard to understand?
I'm going to throw this in there, the question also said that the patron asked for a manager and the manager said that was NOT the policy so therefore the employee (waitstaff) does NOT have the apparent authority. for instance Olive garden restaurant is owned by Darden Industries, even the manager is NOT allowed to make a rule that says no guns period. The manager tries and the manager become employmentally challenged
