That doesn't mean that they have to tolerate it on their property. People (certainly here) seem to be expect that they can go anywhere and say anything and everyone is supposed to just take it. Companies are allowed to ban you unless it violates an applicable law and the First Amendment (in the USA) is for protection from the government, not a private business. If I talk trash about Walmart in one of their stores they can have me leave. I don't have some special protection.
