Went to Barney’s on 05/17/22 because an older gentleman had helped me out with an old stove knob on a prior occasion. He was great. However, i went there looking for another item & the clerk didn’t even acknowledge my presence. I’m African American. I waited patiently in line behind a gentleman, who graciously stepped aside so the two employees could see I was waiting. Gave her ample time to finish with a customer on the phone. She got off and acted as if I was invisible. I waited some additional minutes before walking out, at the same time another gentleman of the Caucasian persuasion came in wearing a bike helmet and as I exited the store I could hear her asking the customer how can she assist him. ~Roger
