Then they should specifically keep HOMELESS people out, and it is easy to check that I am not homeless.


But then they would be discriminating against a population of people, rather than targeting undesirable behavior. Big difference.
Plus, why should you get to sleep there, when you presumably have an actual room and a bed to sleep in? Why is that more valid than someone sleeping there who has no place else?
Anyway, the restaurant can't be asked to make those kinds of distinctions. They don't want people sleeping there, for whatever reason. Period. That's their prerogative.

I think the main problem is not that you're taking up the table, but that you're distracting other customers. If they walk into a restaurant and see someone sleeping on a table they might decide against dining there.
