> you cannot drop or blacklist customers for any reason
Trade law in Europe works like exactly that: you do not get to choose your clients; you either have to serve anyone that is willing to pay, or no one at all. The US should definitely adopt this principle.
- nradov 3y agoAre there any limits to that principle? What if a particular customer openly advocates for, let's say, the destruction of the state of Israel? Should a business be required to serve that customer?
- kazinator 3y ago> The US should definitely adopt this principle. It does, in some ways? Your business can't discriminate based on protected characteristics, like race.
- kazinator 3y agoIf literally true as you have written it up, it's pretty stupid; e.g. a brick-and-mortar store should be able to ban someone who shoplifts, or harasses staff or customers.
- josephcsible 3y ago> a brick-and-mortar store should be able to ban someone who shoplifts I don't even like this. Shoplifters should all go to prison, but once they've paid their debt to society and been rehabilitated, they should be allowed to do everything that law-abiding citizens can do, including going back as a legitimate customer to stores that they previously stole from.

- pjmlp 3y agoOn the contrary, plenty of business in European countries have "We reserve the right of admission" shown quite visible. Many customers aren't wanted, even if they happen to have money to spend.
