I am sure that its just the owners who are Jews. Employees would be regular folks, and theft just means getting fired - no different from other stores.

- cjbos 17y agoI think all employees are Jewish as well, or at least I haven't seen a non Hasidic Jewish guy behind the counter any of the half dozen times I've been in the store.
- joshwa 17y agoWhile the majority of the salespeople and staff are jews, there are also plenty who are not. All walks of life-- anyone you'd normally see on Ninth Avenue is represented on the B&H staff. (including that snotty bastard in the studio lighting department-- B&H salespeople can be a little brusque) I've probably spent upwards of $10k there over the years-- just bought $200 in grip on Sunday.
- shard 17y agoIt might have been true back when I was still living in NY (around '92) when it was just a small store, but I don't think it's true anymore.
- allertonm 17y agoI don't think this is true - I was in there three years ago and one of the guys who helped me out was an african-american. It's possible that he was jewish, but I am pretty sure he wasn't Hasidic.
- wheels 17y agoPresumably that's not policy or at least not a formal one since they'd be in violation of the Equal Opportunity Act. While I knew nothing of the place before this, I'd suspect they have at least a token non-Hasidic employee or three just to keep them from getting sued.
- jonknee 17y agoI am sure you haven't been to B&H before.
