What you are suggesting does not fall under the First Amendment, and indeed would be hugely freedom-denying.
Private individuals and businesses have always had the right to (non-violently) restrict speech in their private spaces. As long as they do not victimize a protected class, private businesses may reserve the right not to serve anyone.
Now, I am a statist so I am all for designating businesses as "essential infrastructure" and tightly regulating them. That being said, I'm not sure all the libertarian-types on HN would like it all that much.
