Checkout muslims act up

STEED · 10-01-07, 05:05 AM

This has to be the most stupid thing to date even the British muslim council on the radio today think this is plain daft.

Muslim checkout staff get an alcohol opt-out clause

Dowly · 10-01-07, 05:13 AM

Now that is just silly..

HunterICX · 10-01-07, 05:36 AM

Gosh,
My father, who has been a supermarket manager for a many years
would have said ''You're Fired!''

and thats how It has to be.

this might be small, but I dont see the bloody reason what a bottle or a crate can do harm so,
I think this is just another thing to cross the border of Muslim influence a bit further
It has to stop!

Do they not mind handling pork then? and what about vegans? will they be let off handling any animal products?

I've noticed (in England) that nearly all the corner shops, where you shop for alcohol and prnography are owned by moslems, I suppose that's because they make money directly from that and their 'principles' are thus conveniently forgotten.

I suppose the lesson to be learnt is if you want a long wait at checkout go to Sainsbury's

Funny thing is that is true around here.

Well, it is already legal for Jewish shop staff to refuse to handle pork products.

but, yes......"unprofessional", "overenthusiastic" and showing a "a lack of maturity".

They're doing it just to do it.

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

Where and why is this?

antikristuseke · 10-01-07, 09:14 AM

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.

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.
