I think the Bridge Cards for food stamps was a good step, since it prevents the sale of your food stamps outright. I think programs that do limit expenditures of welfare income would be greatly beneficial. In fact, I'm not really FOR welfare to begin with. Especially everlasting welfare. I like the 3 years limit.
As to the OP question... yes, as a private business they should be able to ban people by their own criteria.

I never cease to be amazed that the takers in society think those of us who work owe them something. And get enraged when we tell them they can't spend our hard-earned money on drugs, gambling, whatever.
I'm only surprised that no one has mentioned that the problem with food stamps and many other types of assistance is that the recipients gamble among themselves with them, sell them to get around the purchase limitations, etc.
