Unfortunately they can. Have you heard of the motto "We have the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason." While this may be a stretch of a reason due to your past employment, they are legally allowed to deny you the right to shop there.

However, there are a few exceptions and without writing an entire legal column, I'll explain the one that is most prominent. If that store is the only store in the area that houses a particular product needed for your safety or survival.

e.g. If you worked at a pharmacy and they were the only pharmacy in the city or town, then they could not legally refuse to allow you to shop. However, a gas station, grocery store, or other commodities store where their are more than one, can.
