Do we have the right to discriminate against people with bad attitudes?

Inspired by this thread.

It doesn’t say anything about people with bad attitudes. Most small businesses have signs that say “We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason.” I know from experience they’re referring specifically to the belligerent, abusive ass hats that show up now and again.

If we refused service to someone like that, say, they walk in the door, we recognize them and immediately tell them to leave, could they successfully file a discrimination suit against a business?
