I mean, other posts lead me to believe that most of us would ignore the non-compliant signs and continue on business as usual. By bringing it to the management's attention, she communicated her intent of the sign and has effectively given you notice not to carry in her establishment. Is this what you wanted?

I generally advise against educating business owners who post the wrong signs (which can be ignored), lest they replace them with the proper signs (which can't). They're usually just ignorant and mistaken, not ideologues.

In this case, though, the manager has made it clear that she wishes to exclude CHLs, even though she knows all about CHLs. I'd educate her and tell her to put up the proper signs, because if she wants to keep out all CHLs, I want to help make sure she keeps out all of them. And their families. And their friends.

I don't think they are required to post at all entrances. However, If you do not see it, then it is not effective notice.
