None of those are examples of discrimination. Discrimination is not telling a customer you don't sell vegan BBQ. Discrimination is telling a customer you won't sell your product/service to them while you continue to sell it to the person standing next to them. That type of discrimination is wrong but yes, it is only when a protected status is used that it becomes illegal.
