My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of: Virginia.

Hello, I was recently verbally banned from a locally owned restaurant/ hookah bar. History: I used to work there. I quit and never received my last check and filed a state report against him. They couldn't do anything given the situation.

The night it happened I went to get my extremely late W-2 and went to go sit with my friends who we're already there. The owner said "You can't go up there." When I asked why not? He said- " you just can't. You've been banned." Asked 3 times respectfully why I have been banned and he would t give me a reason. He literally waved me off and walked away. Is he allowed to do this? I've been told by multiple sources that he cannot. Thank you

Update.
I left without making a scene. I've never made a scene at any of the businesses. No reason for being banned
