How can companies retain the right to refuse service to anyone, yet still have to follow discrimination laws?

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

I think some people have the perception that courts are very formulaic and are easily gamed when that isn’t really the case. If a business owner continuously only kicks out black people or women or whatever protected rate, or does so at a rate far higher than what would be expected, they’re gonna ask the business owner what’s going on. If the business owner doesn’t have a very good reason for why this is happening, they’re gonna find that illegal discrimination is happening
