The history of people who enter your store is none of your business. Or are you really suggesting that you support segregation?

There are a bunch of characteristics based on which we shouldn't discriminate people, and in the first world it is illegal to do so.

Your reputation is not like that, everybody should treat you according to your reputation, wether it's good or bad.

In the UK, we have the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act to give convicted criminals the ability to reform and reenter society.

Everything in my building is my business. That's why it's called... a business.

A business does not get a free pass to act however they want in many parts of the first world. The classic examples are discrimination based on religion, disability, or race.
