If the officer has been given the permission of the business to "keep the peace" or work as security, etc., then he has zero problems banning someone. If someone feels they have been wrongfully banned, they can call the place - do NOT go there - and see if they can be given permission. If not, then obviously the ban was not without the consent of the business.
