So much time, effort and energy could be saved by being blunt with the manager.

“If you let me wear my cap, we will all eat, pay and leave. If you make any issue about this at all, we will go on the Internet, and within a few hours you will be vilified, your corporation will demand a personal apology from you, they will likely feel forced to give a large check to some charity, and you will still have your business reputation ruined. You might even lose your job, or at least any chance for a future promotion.

“Over a hat.

“So I strongly advise you, let it go. If any of your other customers complain, tell them it’s a medical thing. In doing so, the rest of your evening and the next few days will be pleasant, and no one will be the worse for wear.”

Hah! I do stuff like that. They usually just back away and leave me alone. rofl
My favorite line is.......that’s unacceptable in a low, calm voice. They are usually so surprised by my being calm and what follows that they just back away.
