Why would it be a problem for me...they were nice people......what do I, or what does anyone, need to know other than that?
It seems that most Asian-run corner shops (despite the quasi-racist term "Paki Shop") are run by families of Indian or East-African Asian origin; of whom, of course, some are Muslim. The very fact that you could pick up a newspaper and a kit-kat in one every morning for months whithout ever seeing any evidence of either Hinduism or Islam is, as you say, significant in itself.
