Miss Bartocci is the daughter of Mr. Bartocci, the owner of the department store where Eilis works when she comes to Brooklyn. When Eilis first starts, Miss Bartocci tells her that Bartocci values their customers and doesn’t care who these customers are or where they come from. In keeping with this philosophy, the store starts selling nylons to black women shortly after Eilis starts working, and Miss Bartocci tells Eilis that she will be one of the first two employees to sell these specific nylons. She says that some people might not like this new development but reminds Eilis that all paying customers are equal.
