Seems like there should be some sort of legal protection against being banned from nearly every shop. If it's just one shop owner who doesn't like you for whatever reason, you can go somewhere else, but if they're all sharing information and excluding someone, that's obviously bad. Perhaps this hasn't needed a law before because it was too hard for them all to coordinate on identifying everyone on their blacklist, but with facial recognition provided by a single vendor, it becomes a real risk. This has been an issue with tenancy in my country. A tenant goes to the tenancy tribunal for any reason - even if it's the landlord's fault, and then all property managers, who collectively control most of the rental market, blacklist that person and suddenly they can't live anywhere. With suing, the parties can already work it out among themselves if they both want to avoid going to court. I don't think it needs a mandated procedure. No-win-no-fee lawyers exist to serve poor people who have a clearly winnable case.
