Sure, that's true, but that's not what's being discussed here. We are discussing a private business deciding to not to sell to specific members of a protected class, based solely on their status in said protected class.
For example:
We won't sell you a gun if you are gay
We won't sell you a gun if you are black
We won't sell you a gun if you are christian
We won't sell you a gun if you are a woman
We won't sell you a gun if you are military vet
We won't sell you a gun if you are Italian
Those are all examples of illegal discrimination. You can only discriminate against a protected class as law gives provision. For example, the law allows you to discriminate against selling firearms to 17 year olds. So that's OK.
There is no law requiring you be 17 to go see a R-rated movie in the United States. If you sell a ticket to a 16 year old, FBI agents aren't going to come knocking down the door. Yet movie theaters can and do refrain from selling you a ticket if you aren't 17+ because they are following MPAA, a non-government organization, guidelines.

There is a law in Oregon, that specifically states you cannot deny someone "the full and equal accommodations, advantages, facilities and privileges of any place of public accommodation" if said person is legally an adult and the place is not selling alcohol/marijuana. https://www.oregonlaws.org/ors/659A.403 (This is the law being sited by said lawsuit)
48 out of 50 states have criminal and/or administrative laws pertaining to the sale of alcohol to intoxicated persons. Depending on the state said cashier could be held criminally liable under these laws. http://www.nllea.org/documents/SIPLe...archReport.pdf
I'm really hoping that English isn't your native language, cause if it is, damn. The whole fucking point to the second amendment is literally fucking owning them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distri...mbia_v._Heller
Fines and the like. Possibly a denial of their business licence if they made a point of it over time.
Now, if they refused to pay the fines, or disobeyed court orders, then we might get into jail time, but we're also not talking about the cake any more, which you don't want to admit.
