!. You lose customers - and not just the one or ones you said that to! They have friends, family, co-workers, etc.....aand a bad reputation in business travels faster than a cold virus in an elementary school!
2. They choose their behavior, which is their God given right - you know...free will. I don't think God would appreciate you stomping all over his decision to give free will. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't tolerate that type of arrogance, impertinence and conceit. As it says in the Bible -
"before you try to remove the sty from another's eye, you should remove the beam from your own," which means, before you try to change what you believe to be someone elses bad habits you should change your own -
and of course "he who is without sin, cast the first stone," referring to what Jesus said to the people who dragged the harlot into the street to be stoned to death - in other words, don't condemn another for sinning when you yourself are a sinner.
3. The Chamber of Commerce might decide to black ball you instead of letting you tarnish the reputation of their fair city!
4. If you work for someone else - you get fired.
5. Karma, Fate, Lady Luck [whatever you call that mystical state of bad luck] just LO-O-O-O-VES to smack people around for sticking their nose into someone elses business!

Despite the fact that it would do them a world of good to be told to use their manners in public, you would lose customers. On the bright side you would no longer have customers who act like fools. Truthfully the customer is wrong a lot more than their right!

You will come off as being obnoxious or stuck up. Depending on the business and patronage, you should really tell tour customers to the expected behavior in say a club or bar and then strictly enforce them. the most important aspect is consistency.

I told a customer who was calling one of my workers "a *****" - that this would be the last time they would be waited on in this store, because we do not allow people to abuse our workers. He got made, so I lost him as a customer, but all the people standing in line behind him applauded.

Potential that is the key word. There would be no POTENTIAL to worry about and you could save everyone the trouble and just lock the doors.

They won't be a potential customer any longer.

They might be offended and then become customers of your competitors.

Their purchase orders pay your salary. Their purchase orders to your competitors don't after you offend them.

No big deal...in fact, while your telling them...you should physically kick their actual butt. They'll keep coming back for more...trust me.
