Title basically says it all, I’ve seen claims and signs that all say that a store or “business retains the right to refuse service” and yet I know (at least in the US) that discrimination and civil rights laws exist and make it so you can’t refuse to serve someone on the basis of race, sex, etc
In: Other
A business can refuse people by their clothes (eg “no shirt, no shoes, no service”), by their age (pubs not allowing under 18s/21s), criminal record, as these aren’t protected classes.
But they can’t refuse people by their gender, skin colour, sexual orientation, age (over 40), or any other [protected class](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_group#United_States).
