I entered Cornells because the chain on my Rosary broke. As soon as I entered the door I was someone behind the counter who had the typical jewelry magnifying glass and tools but before I could get to her a female sales agent stepped in front of me and blocked my path. ""How can I help you, she said."" I explained that I was old and couldnt see and needed their help to reattach the metal linkage. ""Oh no we cant do that here. We dont have the tools"" even though they had the tools a few feet away.\r
\r
I could then hear someone say. ""Watch she needs to get him out of here. He isnt dressed for this store and his rosary could offend our jewish customers."" A second later the sales ady asked me to leave.\r
\r
Obviously this is descrimination by Cornell because they didnt want anything Christian to offend their jewish customers so I left without making a scene called the manager and explained the situation. I said that I was going to contact local churches and put an add explaining the anti-christian bigotry at Cornell and that I was going to put this on the internet.\r

The manager denied that the sales lady descriminated against me so I called a Civil Rights Attorney. We are going back with jewish jewelry to request it be fixed. If the sales lady lets us pass then we will post it on youtube as evidence of anti-christian descrimination by this jeweler and use it in court to sue them. We might have our very own Paula Deen civil rights lawsuit right here in Rochester. Lets see how Cornell Jewelers does if Christians and Catholics find out about how this jeweler values its jewish clientelle and descriminates against its christian clientelle.\r

If your a catholic or a christian, dont shop at Cornell Jewelers.
