It’s a first for Wegmans in this area. They’ve put up a sign asking customers buying pork or alcohol not to use a particular checkout line when a Muslim teenager is on duty as the cashier.

The sign went up a week ago at their Lyell Avenue store.

I read this and thought - Please let this be an April Fools, but it is not.

[Travis McGee]

Nope, sorry, won’t comply. If she wants to live “sharia compliant,” she can return to her desert home.

[Farmer Dean]

I’ll boycott any store that tries this in my area.

[bigheadfred]

What’s the name, again, of that store just down the street?

[cripplecreek]

Wasn’t there a thread about the wonders of this chain just the other day?

“They’ve put up a sign asking customers buying pork or alcohol not to use a particular checkout line when a Muslim teenager is on duty as the cashier. “

Oh! That’s the only line I’d use!

[GreyFriar]

How long until Wegman’s stops selling all fresh and frozen pork and any product that contains port? Will the next stop be protests by muslims demanding that and wegman’s giving in?

[EGPWS]

Oh, so you have to ask if the cashier is a mooselimb?

[ccmay]

I’d go through the line with a bottle of whiskey and a side of bacon, again, and again, and again.

Gonna have to get a seeing eye dog.

“They’ve put up a sign asking customers buying pork or alcohol not to use a particular checkout line when a Muslim teenager is on duty as the cashier. “

They’re asking? If I was in the area, I would specifically use that muzzie cashier’s lane and buy bacon strips.

[MtBaldy]

That is absolute and utter bullsheet. The proper response when a cashier says, “I will not ring up pork or alcohol”, is, “There’s the door. You can come back and pick up your check on Friday.

The proper response for a Wegman’s customer on reading this is, “Top’s is not so bad”.

I like Wegman’s stores but even if I still lived in NY I wouldn’t shop there.

Here in Texas, H.E.B. has started selling chicken that is ‘HALAL’.

When they start selling halal fish on Fridays is when I stop doing business with them altogether.

[cripplecreek]

The customer is always right...

...unless the cashier is an islamderthal, then the customer is an infidel.

[GiovannaNicoletta]

We have Wegman's near me and if I'm in the right mood I'll go in the store and pick up several packages of pork chops and bacon and look for a Muslim running one of their cash registers and deliberately get in that line then when he or she made an issue out of it I'd walk out of the store and leave the pork right in front of them on the conveyor belt.

And on my way out, I'd stop at the customer service desk and I'd make it clear to Wegman's management that that was my last visit to their store.

Encouraging profiling....?

[Joe 6-pack]

Interesting. Just about a week ago, there was a puff piece on Wegmans, calling it, “the anti-Walmart.”

Voting with my dollars 24/7.... Hope they go broke.

Stay safe Travis...
