Well, then these same private property businesses shouldn't expect public benefit of police, fire, street, or sewer.
"Yes...freedom of association...private property rights and the basic natural right to be stupid...after all...who else but an idiot would, right off the bat, reduce his potential pool of buyers by deciding he's not going to sell to someone based on some arbitrary characteristic?"

Or, most importantly of all, they should not expect access to the courts to enforce their contracts. As in, when the family walks out and says "We are not paying for any of this", the company has no recourse to the law. But the family would have access to the police and the law to protect them against efforts at coercive private enforcement.
Take away the government, and you take away the courts. Take away the courts, and contracts become absolutely meaningless, and the whole capitalist economy dries up and blows away - POOF!
