Help me settle an argument

I've been talking for a long time with a co-worker about how people have no "right" to be on private property. My position is that you can be asked to leave an Applebee's for any reason, so long as it isn't the protected race, gender, etc. If you don't leave, you can be charged with trespassing.

He claims that that only holds true for "private property" that wouldn't include a "public" place like Applebees because (we're assuming) it's owned by shareholders or something and not one Mr. Applebee.

Personally, I think that's ridiculous and there aren't two classifications of private property like he's suggesting. Either it's a public place like a school or a park... or it's private property like your home or an Olive Garden. However, I've pored through Ohio Revised Code and can't find a damn thing to prove me right.

What say you?

Oh, and this all got drudged up again thanks to the Juice:
