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

299 viewsOther

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

The laws override company rules, but are also specific.

So you can’t refuse service bssed on skin colour, gender or sexual orientation etc. (depending on the law), but you can absolutely kick someone out for things NOT covered by the law like their behaviour, hygiene, bringing in restricted items etc.
