It's a marketing ploy that appears to be working. Your perspective on this is a tell.

The story is about a small entrepreneur's novel idea for bringing attention to his business.

The blaze isn't the place I heard it from it's just the article I posted since it had the original news story in it also.

Here's a serious question. Should any business be able to decide who to serve, how much it costs and what they provide based on the customer? Examples color, religion, sexual preference?

A recent analysis of nearly 7 million 30-year mortgages by University of California at Berkeley researchers found that black and Latino applicants were charged higher interest — an average of nearly 0.08% — and heavier refinance fees when compared with white borrowers.

Minorities pay more to bank than whites

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/minor...161950159.html

Quote:
In its survey of over 2,600 adults, Bankrate found that white checking-account holders said they paid just $5 a month in bank fees. Those numbers more than double for black and Hispanic account holders.

Hispanics pay $16 a month in banking fees, while black customers paid $12 a month, Bankrate found. Those who identified as another race also paid more, at $8 a month for banking services.
