You're really starting to sound like a troll.  You equate an establishment
not taking checks, with getting arrested for a crime you didn't commit?

IF them not taking checks is because there have been bad checks
written, that's not "blaming" you.  It's a reaction to the fact that
there were enough bad checks written that it became too costly
to deal with, too much of a hassle to deal with, or both.  Yes, you're
affected because of what other people did.  Get over it, that's
a fact of life. Honest people have to go through security checkpoints
at airports, because of a few who would try to get through with bombs.
Do you complain at airport that you are being "blamed"?

Your complaints were that they don't take checks, they didn't make
 Iced Coffee the way you expected it, and they made a mistake with
an order.  If that's your definition of not being treated decently, no
wonder you're so bent out of shape over it.
