There's not that many businesses whose contract provides for the customer to be on the business's property. Transportation and lodging, that's pretty much it.

Now , another example might be selling widgets. You sell a widget to a customer, then discover either you (the seller) priced the widget wrong or promised more widgets to your customers than you could deliver. Can you have the police come and take the widgets from a customer?
