You’re right, it’s very difficult to actually enforce.

If it’s a local store they may be recognised and police called.
If it’s not a local store and they cause trouble again then when police are called they’ll work out there’s already been prior incidents and likely face harsher consequences.

As for how to actually ban, if booking tickets for an event or something you may be required to show id. This can be very easily and quickly checked against a database and the customer refused if necessary.

A ban can also be put on certain cards. This is easier to get around as you could just get a new credit card.
