usually state law protects business' rights to refuse service
for instance, if I think someone is shoplifting, like if they pay for something small after browsing for three hours and then the alarm goes beep and they run out of the store...and then come back the next day (like a dumbass) they don't get to come in. You don't have the right to go anywhere you like just because it's there.
for a restaurant situation: OJ might be dangerous. Management had to think of the safety of their other customers and also their reputation, since service industry establishments (bars, resturants, etc.) mostly are either successful or failure-ful based on word of mouth, sometimes only word of mouth.
I mean, you can be turned down from a nightclub if you are not dressed the way that night club wants people inside to be dressed, so why not be turned down from a restaurant where they think you might kill someone or might have in the past?
Long post made short now: it wasn't OJ's restuarant, so OJ had no guarteed right to be there. He only has a right to be there and conduct business with that establishment if either he: A-owns said establishment or B-is welcomed by the people running that business. He wasn't. So he had to leave.
