PGR, an acronym for "Parental Guidance Required", left many feeling that the program was unfairly targeted towards African-American teenagers from Milwaukee who patronize the mall via the many bus lines that end at the Macy's wing of the mall. The following month, a coalition of Milwaukee groups known as ACORN filed over 40 complaints of racial profiling against Mayfair with the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development.[1] This has also caused many teenagers to stop shopping at Mayfair along with many protests and loss of profit.
