Either that or a deep seated belief that alcohol is a major ill in society.

What the hell, if they cant do their job they should be fire, its as simple as that. If you work in an establishment that sells alcohol you should sell alcohol to people who are legaly alloed to purchas it and have shown the desire to do so. This specail treatment bull**** is being taken too far.

One of the pitfalls/consequences around living in a society that considers its equality, tolerance, ethical, moral, and political correctness values and levels to be superior to that of other countries :hmm:

I believe every company should be able to decide for themselve if they want to give muslims a special treatment. But in this case I wouldn't do that. If muslims don't want to sell alcohol they should go work for another company.

“Sainsbury’s is being very good, they are trying to accommodate the wishes of their employees and we commend that. The fault lies with the employee who is exploiting and misusing their goodwill. It makes no difference if it is only happening over Ramadan.

Some sense there.

I have to say the first time I get held up by this sort of thing when I go to do my monthly shopping I'm walking out.

Still, on a more personal note: At work I've been envolved with the refitting of a number of sainsburys stores with refrigeration equipment. Due to the nature of the job we have been stuffed with almost impossible design deadlines and then when we complete the job, the store planner changes their ming and we have about 3 days to do 2 weeks worth of work which we have not the time for - on principal I now refuse to buy anything from sainsburys.
