Cook's Department Store advertises that it maintains a barbershop in its store and that the shop is managed by Hunter, a Cook's employee. Actually, Hunter is not an employee of the store but merely rents space in the store. While shaving Joran in the barbershop, Hunter negligently its a deep gash, requiring 10 stitches, into one of Jordan's ears. Should Jordan be entitled to collect damages from Cook's department store?
