I own a service business and I choose to refuse service under my own code of what is right or wrong, none of which are covered under Gilda's examples. One's religion, ethnicity, or significant other are simply irrelevant to the service we provide.
I refuse service to slum landlords who only want a quick and dirty job, or are attempting to use us to burn a tenant. Similarly, I refuse service to anyone who is trying to cheat someone else. "Do unto others" plays a big part when I fire a customer. I will not tolerate anyone being obnoxious to my service technicians. Their work is difficult enough without needing to dodge a grope or deal with verbal abuse. Dayum, I'm getting ticked off just thinking about some of the bs we no longer tolerate. I guess my bottom line is that I do not serve assholes, and they are not a protected class.
