Answer 1

Generally speaking companies have no method of enforcing bans other than someone recognizing them and knowing they aren’t supposed to be there. Outside the specific store they have been banned from, and the same people working there, it isn’t likely they will be enforced.

However such a ban has another purpose. It means that if the banned person comes to another store and causes trouble then the company will have much more legal recourse. The person would be trespassing and liable for criminal as well as civil penalties. This is the real force behind such a ban. Sure you probably won’t be recognized, but if you *are* recognized the police will arrest you.
