Does a business have a right to decide who may use their services?

Discuss please.

I believe every business should have the right to refuse service for any reason. This a free market issue. If enough people are upset by this decision they will take their business elsewhere and the business owner will suffer. I think someone has to refuse to serve Catholics or heterosexuals so we can see if the left has the same reaction as they did here.

The notion that because you are open to the public and therefore the public has an unlimited, enforceable right to your labor is nonsense. Rearden did not sell to the government until force was used. He was then, no more than a serf to a lord.

  Double agreed. This principle was something that drove me insane when I worked retail at an office supplies company. As soon as you put a nametag on, customers legitimately felt some misguided sense of control and/or power over you. They felt they had the right and ability to abuse you as a retail worker, even if it was just using snide comments to try and get their way. Usually when I would get a manager involved, he/she would just bend to their will, no matter how unreasonable the customer was being. The same principle is trying to apply itself here. The customer is not always right, and should take their business elsewhere on occasion.

If she's worried about Islamist threats, why not declare it an Islamist free zone instead of a Muslim-free zone?
She has a right to be stupid and refuse service to anyone she pleases for any reason.
