Marcus Bradley was making a delivery for Lowe's Home Improvement in Danville , Va., when his manager called and told him to return to the store.
Bradley, an 11-year employee, said when he asked why he couldn't deliver the item, his manager told him, "because you are black, and they don't want you at the house," WSET-TV reported.
Bradley said he was told the customer asked his manager not to send a black employee to deliver the item.
When Bradley returned to the store, a white driver replaced him for the delivery, WSET-TV reported.
Bradley told the news station he would continue working with the company, but wished the situation was handled differently.
"…I would think Lowe's would take it into consideration to think about what they're doing next time," Bradley told WSET-TV.
Chris Ahearn, a Lowe's spokeswoman, said the manager involved is no longer with the company, The Washington Post reported.
"We've reached out to the drivers, and one of our senior executives went to the store to apologize to them in person," she told the Post. "We have zero tolerance for discrimination of any kind, and we should never have accepted the terms of the sale with the individuals who were delivered to."
