Like most signs, this will be ignored by the people it’s intended for.

The point of the sign is to avoid them getting angry when you throw them out. They will, but others in the store will back you up.

That’s just not how interacting with humans works though.
Chances are there are several individuals who visit this shop with “offensive” hygiene.
The sign isn’t going to stop them coming in.
When you say “hey fuck off stinky”, they’re going to react badly. Pointing to the sign isn’t going to make them any less reactive or defensive.
The correct way to handle this is to pull them aside, tell them you really appreciate them visiting the store, they’re really into the hobby and a key part of the local scene or whatever, but last time they came in a few other customers mentioned their hygiene.
I totally understand that most people don’t want to have that second interaction, that’s fine.
My point is, in either approach the sign doesn’t help.

The sign is to prevent them from claiming they didn’t know.
The assholes who still get angry can look for a different store to shop in.

You don’t need a sign for people to be happy that King Shit is getting kicked out.

No, but you need it to show it to him on the way out.
