yes. In the US, merchants have the right to refuse service to anyone, provided their reason is not race, gender, sexual preference, religion, or any other discriminatory reason.

The other answer is correct. A company does have the right to refuse service to a customer.
You say you did nothing wrong. I'd have to wonder why a business would refuse service to someone who did nothing wrong. Could it be that you didn't understand what bothered them? Or just don't agree with their decision, or that they did not explain this to you?
If they are stating that they will call the cops if you continue to be on their premises means that at some point, someone was not comfortable with you being there. If you were continuing to argue when them, it may have been the approach that you took.

Yes, they have the right to ask you to leave their grounds for any reason at any time and never return.
However, if you should have reason to believe that you were discriminated against, you have the right to file a lawsuit --- AFTER you have left the premises.

Yes, any business can ask for you to leave their facility and the grounds. And if you do not do so they can call the police and have you removed.

Yes, they can. Its private property and you have no "constitutional right" to be there. That said, I doubt they told you to scram because you "did nothing wrong." I'm sure there's more to the story...

Yes.
This is an easy one. Stay away from McDonalds. Get your burgers elsewhere.

Yes - but you must have done SOMETHING they didn't like, businesses don't just bar customers from their place of business for no reason. Is it possible that your definition of doing something wrong and theirs are different?

Have the right to refuse service.

it seems unlikely that you are totally innocent of something, they had a reason to ask you to leave, you may not agree that you did something wrong, but they did and that's all that matters.
