> 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.

Are 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?

It does, in some ways? Your business can't discriminate based on protected characteristics, like race.

>>antice+(OP)
If 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.

On 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.

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.

In "Europe" (i.e. the continental protectionist bloc), even ISIS has the right to service.

law-abiding citizens can get banned from WalMart too
