I meant it as a metaphor, once per year you can ban someone from the premises and, no questions asked, management would have your back. Actually saying gently caress off to a customer is no where near as satisfying as it seems (I've done that too).

Disagree. I've told more than a few customers to gently caress off or some variance on the theme.
Always felt great.

What actually happened: transphobic rear end in a top hat saw something that said forcing a kid to live as a gender they're not (i.e. not letting a trans kid socially transition and live as their true gender) is abusive (which is true) and concocted this asinine story about the evil PC SJWs.

50 thousand people used to live here. Now, it's the Mushroom Kingdom.
Real story:

A customer demanded to speak to my boss because he was unhappy we turned down his insurance application. He also used very demeaning and threatening language

My boss said to me "No, I won't return his call. We aren't going to reward that sort of behaviour"

The end.

I do the same thing. If someone starts screaming at my staff I get on the call and tell them they have exactly one shot to calm down and be respectful, or I end the call. If they don't immediately cool their jets, I hang up the phone. I've revoked phone privileges from a few people for repeatedly harassing or disrespecting staff members and given everyone permission to immediately refuse a call from them if they try to call again.

One guy got so bad that I told him I would refund him his money and ban him from doing business if he kept his poo poo up. He had a hyperventilating, screaming, crying tantrum on the phone because he misread our website and didn't meet the requirements for a certification and we wouldn't give it to him until he did.

I hung up on a guy who wouldn't stop yelling at me a few weeks back. My boss yelled at me for being rude. But then my customer called to find out what actually happened because I'm a sweetheart and wouldn't be rude like that without being provoked.

And now that guy isn't allowed to talk to me without his customer copied in anymore because of him being a dick.

One of the best ways to engender loyalty in your staff is to be fiercely protective of them. Too many places treat the customer as god and staff as disposable, but you quickly realize that (unless you have a very small or niche business) there will always be more customers to replace the bad ones you lost. It's better to have good staff who trust you than as many customers as possible, especially as they'll gain experience and you'll end up with a very competent crew who knows you have their back.

I forgot to mention, I did throw one of our board members out of the building. He tried starting a fight with me in the lobby over a (possibly intentional) misreading of things and I opened the door and told him to leave. He was so offended that he quit the board the next day, which everyone was extremely happy with.

This is really true but the service industry is almost all based on low skill/low wage/high employment, so employers can treat staff totally disposably and thus have zero incentive to retain or invest in staff, and thus no reason to treat staff well.

We just had a pizza party to commemorate our manager getting promoted. Over a decade of service and being basically the main reason our entire division was successful for that entire time, and what does the company give them? Some dominos (at least 2/3 of which had olives on it, rendering it to be garbage imho). It's honestly embarrassing. At least take the guy out to a fancy dinner some other time or something.

Replace "pizza party" with groups of staff having to take turns to provide snacks/lunch for everyone one day a week, so that management doesn't even have to pay money.
