I still don't think people are appreciating the issue.
Let's say the business trespasses you. Now that's on your record. You take them to small claims court and win - but now need to spend more money and more time to collect any money from this business.
Let's say you finally collect, but incurred additional costs and lost much time during that process. How do you recoup those costs? Back to small claims court... it's circular, and the business can just drag their feet along the way.

Again, for large businesses, it may be possible for them to absorb this additional load with no issue. For quite a few small and medium businesses, this extra load can't be easily absorbed. Keep in mind you don't have to actually have any intent of suing them when you show up. You can treat it like a poker bluff. It creates the impression you might go all the way, and that's often enough to change the business' perception of the costs and risks.
