I'm sure the issue wasn't one kid coming in and reading the paper, or doing homework, or something like that. I remember being in high school, and 20 or so of us would go into McDonalds. Some would buy food, some wouldn't, but would discuss buying a 59¢ burger. We'd pretty much take over the entire seating area; 20 of us wouldn't just squeeze into five of the 4-person booths. Some would come and go, some would yell across to their buddy 3 tables over, and some guys would play fight.
So I can see some customers wanting to buy a meal changing their mind and not coming in. Those youngsters can be intimidating to us old farts.
It maybe could have been handled better; like what SuperFlyer suggested. Maybe not that harsh- something like "mgmt reserves the right to enforce a $3 per person and /or 20 minute limit on use of tables." But then again it's likely easier to refuse service than to ask a guy who just spent $2 to leave.
