P's Barber Shop

Anyone of the barbers will get you right

I TRY TO SUPPORT BLACK BUSINESS, BUT............... Today, I went to Barber Shop at Centre and Craig. A few weeks a go, I stuck my head in the door to ask how much was a cut. Someone said $15. I go back today to get a cut. The owner was working on a man as well as the other barber had someone in the chair. I asked, "How much is a cut?", the owner said $20. I told him when I asked a few weeks ago someone said $15. However, on price chart it did say $20. I also noticed it said "$13 for seniors". I told them I was a senior. When the one barber got through cutting the clients hair, he told me he was sick, hadn't eaten in two and was going to CVS to get a can of soup. He came back with the soup and went downstairs. The owner finished his client and another man walked in and sat in his chair. The owner than goes to the top of the stairs and is whispering something to the available barber that was supposedly eating his soup. That barber come out and tells me he'll be with me as soon as he eats his soup. I told them I had been waiting 45 min. and would have to come back. I went next door to the fish place and when I came out, the available barber was outside smoking. I said, "Are you ready for me now?" He said, "I have to eat my soup first..." The only thing I can think of is he didn't want to cut my hair for $13. But, that's what the sign said for seniors. I left there feeling played, disrespected and victimized.......Actually I don't have any words for what I was feeling. Whatever spirits operating in there had me feeling jacked up for a minute. I had to pray to get myself together. The interesting thing is I woke up happy and my day starts off with that craziness. Seems only special customers get good service.......
