So what gives a consumer, with the exception of your discrimination laws, more of a right to be on my property as well as more of a right to purchase from me than I have to not allow them on my property or refuse to sell them my product?
You seem to believe that the consumer is the only side of the equation deserving of protection and freedom. I fail to understand how that's logical or anything close to freedom.
An owner can and does refuse service to customers for a whole variety of reasons You just can't refuse service based on race, sex, or religion. Now do owners refuse service based on any one of those three reasons, but tell the customer something else? I'm sure it happens, I certainly don't agree with it, but I'm sure it happens. But if you get caught, you'll likely be prosecuted (and rightly so) for violating people civil rights. So you do have the right to refuse people service for many reasons. However you just don't have the right to be a racist asshole.
Hope that helps.
