Whether they should is irrelevant. It is their business. They can choose to run it as they see fit and people have no right to demand otherwise. If you do not like a businesses practices, you speak with your dollars and you do not patronize it and/or you voice your disagreement with others. This is the only action you can take as you have no right to the business.

Yes, the other option is to force the business and forcing a business(aka a private person) against their will is called "forced servitude" aka "slavery".

You are confusing definitions here. Slavery is simply "a person entirely under the domination of some influence or person". Dominate as in : "to rule over; govern; control.".
A business is a private entity. The existence of a business is not to "serve" the people, but to produce income/profit for the individual. You have no right to be served by a business, you have no right to demand service for to be able to "dominate" over another to force them to serve you is form of slavery.
Now you can say that this is the price of business, but we do not relinquish our freedoms when we decide to trade with another. The purpose of regulatory process in businesses is to protect infringement on another (ie safety, theft, etc...) and since you have no right to be served by another, no right is being infringed when you are denied, but when you force another to serve you, you are infringing on their liberty to do business as they choose and who with.
Now if you don't think the business has this right, fine... but you freely admit you could care less about liberties, rather you only care about "your liberties" and even kings and dictators share this self concern and disregard for another.
