When will cabbies start refusing to take old ladies home in their cabs from the super market because there’s pork products in their bags?

Truth is stranger than fiction.....

Muslim taxi drivers draw ire for refusing customers with booze
May 26, 2007

Some Muslim taxi drivers in Minnesota have drawn the ire of airport authorities for refusing to pick up customers carrying alcohol.

The cabbies, many of them Somali, have shut their doors to more than 5,200 customers who landed at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport since 2002.

They've also refused a number of customers in the city who want to bring a bottle of wine or liquor home with their groceries....

It did mention Hog, so it still fits, sort of.

Unlucky for him, since the popularity of pork usually goes hand-in-hand with things like electricity, civility, freedom, etc.

SI am, of course, only typing with the aid of my trusty hand powered generator (electricity being largely unknown in these pork-free Israeli latitudes).

I like how you think!

I concur...it’s his business he can sell what he wants; but DD should also have right to franchise to whom they want as well, accordingly should have checked him out in the beginning. They obviously didn’t, their tough luck. As for the customers, it they want a ham biscuit, go to McD’s...

If you don’t want pork around, go back to whatever porkfree hellhole you came from

IMHO, any place that is porkfree is a hellhole.

Gotta have my bacon.

You know, August is National Sandwich Month.

There is a kosher dunkin donuts in chicago on devon that doesnt serve pork either. For them to not sell it it attracts the kosher jewish population in the area. For them it was a business decision. I hear the complaints here, but what about the free market champions on this board?

You must live in the hellhole that is MA. They’re everywhere!!!

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. Bacon.

Franchise owner Wahlid Ekhatib says his Muslim faith forbids him from handling or selling pork in his suburban Chicago Dunkin' Donuts store...

I usually buy my pork at a deli, not at a donut shop. And besides, I don't like the pork-filled eclairs anyway.

Go run a 7/11.

Headline? “Muslims demand Dunkin’ Donuts install foot baths in all stores. ‘Can be used while waiting in line.’ Supermarkets regular checkouts next?”

[subterfuge]

If you don’t want pork around, go back to whatever porkfree hellhole you came from.

Made me laugh! Anyplace without pork has GOT to be a hellhole all right!

[Alex Murphy]

I wonder if there is a market for “pork packets” that can be carried in the pocket until needed to anoint a muzzie cart in retribution for pawning off turkey cum products at real pork.

You just gave me a great idea. Forget carrying mace in your purse - we need some kind of personal security device that sprays pork fat.

“So let me get this right — you can get ham, bacon, pork chops, AND donuts at the same place? Sweet”
