A clothing store in downtown Savannah, Georgia, raised some eyebrows recently when it waived a $20 appointment fee for black customers and other people of color while keeping the fee intact for white customers, WJCL-TV reported.
"Most of the feedback has been that our decision to waive this refundable deposit is racist because it favors people of color, black people, and indigenous people," Blunk added the station.
However, the store said that white customers who don't have $20 for an appointment can select the "don't agree" on the booking form so the booking manager can reach out and come up with other options, WTOC-TV reported.
But Civvies did say it wouldn't accept appointments with white customers who simply refuse to pay because of the policy, WTOC added.

Do they do some kind of paper bag test for objective skin color determination?
LOL, there is NO WAY I’m going to a store with a $20 appointment fee.
Who pays a $20 fee for an appointment at a clothing store?
A $20 fee to receive clothing advice from someone who dresses and looks like that?
They looked like Second (or Third) Hand Clothes anyway.
Why stir up all this trouble, making everybody mad.
The manager still doesn’t quite it why this way wrong, but he’s reacting to the many negative comments.
He absolutely must be a Hilary Voter.
Yeah really...a20$ fee just to enter a clothing store. In Savanna, Ga. How did that store manage to keep its customers? Did a person get a 20$ refund after a purchase?

Leave and go to a civil rights lawyer, show them the video, and sue them for everything they own.
Refundable deposit.
What would Howie Carr do?
Possibly people who want a quiet shopping experience and plan to purchase, particularly if it is in an upscale area. It's possible the store was dealing with a lot of people who rummaged through the clothing items and trashed the place without making a purchase. It's also possible they were dealing with a high amount of theft.
Savanna, the independent state of Chatham County. The incident is basically a nothing burger. Trivial.
Is Blunk a man or a woman? Honestly, I can’t tell. Tranny, maybe?
No, it is racist because the decision is based on race.
They should be sued.

Burn it.
Would Barrack Obama pay $10 since he is 1/2 white?
Leave and go to a civil rights lawyer, show them the video, and sue them for everything they own.
Sounds like a job for Project Veritas.
On second thought, maybe I would want advice from that person.
“Here’s $20. What do you think I should wear?” And then never, ever wear that thing.
