No. The whole purpose of the notary is to ensure that the person signing the document is competent and knows what they are signing. That is why a notary can not notarize a document unless the signer is in the physical presence of the notary. If a notary affixes his or her stamp to a document, knowing that the person is incoherent and does not understand the document, the notary is guilty of a felony in most states.
Absolutely not. The title is Notary Public, not Notary Private. If the notary usually signs public documents as part of their workday, meaning the employer is aware and allows the notary to notarize for the public while at work (bank notaries typically have this authority), the notary must notarize for everyone with no conditions. If the notary usually does this service for free, the notary must do it for free for everyone with no conditions. Some notaries are employed to only notarize for their company, so this type of notary could refuse to notarize a document during their workday, but those notaries are in the back offices. Few things anger me as much as a bank notary public pulling the old "I can only notarize if you have an account" lie. This common situation is usually discussed in detail in the notary test materials themselves. The title is Notary Public. If you're motivated or angry enough, figure out which local agency oversees notaries, send for the notary rulebook and figure out how to properly report the bank-notary for being guilty of notary offenses.

The notary can lose their commission, and can be sued for the full amount of their bond ($7,500.00), which the notary would be required to pay back to their bonding agent. Depending on the offense, the notary could also be guilty of a felony if they notarize a document without the signer being present, and could be imprisoned.
