Is that pork? Alcohol? Sorry, sir, you have to see another cashier.

Go to their website... Looks to me like its their protocol.

 

It well could be, Margot. But prove to me that any Jew, working at M&S has refused to handle pork, please.

 

Prove to you? Are you losing it?

 

Gotcha, Margot. Sounds like the Jews, working at M&S are not refusing to perform what's in their job description. Moslems are.

 

What difference does it make whether to not they are complaining about it?

Your problem is obviously prejudice against muslims, whether you're willing to acknowledge it or not.

 

When I was a kid .. we had the Vanilla Extract crisis in Arabia.. Some Muslims went to the king and complained because there is booze in vanilla extract. Some Aramcons went to the king and said.. our wives can't bake without vanilla extract... and our lives will be made miserable.

Guess what? The King approved the sale of Vanilla Extract. LOLOL

 

Not sure what your point is.

All religions are silly and have been more than willing to bend their rules when they decide it's politically expedient to do so.

 

Arabia ? King ?
You said you are Christian

 

actually it will be a little of both, as they will have to make sure they have enough non-muslims to cover for the muslims that refuse to do the job

 

Yeah, "who's business is it anyway?" That's always the question when leftwingers get involved . . . because they always seem to think that it's the collective's business and not the owner's. "You didn't build that!" Go figure.

 

And that prejudice will continue to grow as long as the Muslims expect special treatment, when no other religion has ever pushed the button that way.

 

That prejudice will continue to grow as long as people get upset over something as trivial as this. The ONLY reason to be bothered by this is a prejudice against muslims.

 

It's a nice story but untrue. The king probably told them to find the beans.

 

If someone applies for a job in this country, and is incapable of fulfilling the duties it entails....they should not be hired in the first place.

Hopefully, Muslims will eventually disqualify themselves from such positions and this issue will simply go away.....unless they lobby to make this stupidity covered under the ADA.

 

I've had cashiers that were under 21 that couldn't sell me alcohol. I guess they should be fired.

 

we have Muslims here in Maine who ring up everything ! but it really is no different than a 16 YEAR OLD AND BOOZE here they can't ring it up til they are 18 so a head cashier comes over to ring it and approve it .

 

I'm thinking a simple customer would and should be bothered to have to wait longer because a cashier, knowing he or she is not a good fit for the job expects people to be inconvenience....to have the customers revolve around them.

 

Uhhh! I live in the United States, and we are a land of immigrants established by white Anglo/Saxon Protestants. Everyone who came had the brains to keep a low profile, and to adapt to the prevalent culture...especially in the South with the Klu Klux Klan although the North also had problems, especially with the Catholic Irish.

 

I'm thinking that you just don't like muslims that much, and resent the notion that their religous beliefs are being respected by an employer.

 

Age restrictions are federally mandated requirement based on our laws. They bare no resemblance to the self imposed choices these people have made.

 

Uhhh! I live in the United States as well, and we are a land of immigrants that respect that idea, and don't tolerate people who think fellow americans should have to keep a low profile.

 

It is actually entirely different.

 

My point is that I had to wait for another cashier, and I didn't throw a hissy fit because i had to spend another two minutes waiting.

Anyone upset by this is prejudiced against muslims.

It's exactly the same except you aren't prejudiced against 16 year olds.

 

Well I can see why you flipped. This is ridiculous.As a Jew I understand yer rage. You can not be expected to respect my world if I do not show you respect for yours. End of story. I shouldn't let you get bacon? Oh come on. Can we get real. Look what can I tell you. Its bs.This is no way to foster tolerance. In fact it takes ordinary people like you and turns them into angry people for just reason.

If someone does not want to serve the public, don't work as a cashier.

This is telling employees they can be bigots. What next can you refuse to serve me because I want bagels and bagels offend you?

Its insanity.

Excuse me if I am in your house and you are kind enough to make me any dinner, I eat it and I thank you. End of story. Oh go on serve me ham, This is nuts.


Where will this end?

By the way Merry Christmas. And I mean MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Hang in. The world may be going nutz but please believe me some of us respect you and
think it is insane thinking you should respect us but we can be disrespectful of you.

Enough.

That was very insulting to you. Its an act of bigotry against you condoned by Marks and Spencer. Its bs. If you were in a store I ran, I would treat you with respect. Period.

What the hell is going on that we treat customers like they are cursed? This is bs. Now you made me mad. I feel like going to Mark and Spencer and buying as much pork as I can and
confronting these sob's claiming I am making dinner for my gentile friends and see what they would do refusing me. Hey how about you play the religion card right back at them?

Go get a bunch of people and picket that friggin store.

 

Of course you would think that. You don't care about non-muslim customers.
