How would M&S treat an employee who refused to serve Muslims wearing hijabs because it made them uncomfortable?

One hast to be physically capable and willing to do what the job requires.
It’s a condition of employment.
If you are unable or unwilling to do a given job, with all that entails, you need to seek more suitable employment.

So are they going to have signs pointing out the full function checkout lines? Might be racist!

Load up cart full of goods, go to checkout, when they hit the hidden bacon and refuse, then just simply walk out of store leaving them to restock it all...
Screw ‘em...

Try that over here and see what happens.
If bakers, photographers, and florists can't refuse gay weddings on religious grounds, then neither can Muslims refuse to serve alcohol on religious grounds over here.
But we'll soon see...

Okay. Fine. Just take the stuff and walk.

And repeat as necessary or non-Muslims could simply boycott M & S until business sense kicks in, if it ever does.

Well, it’s a private business, so it’s their call to make. I think it is a little bit absurd, however. My understanding of Halal food laws (which I admit is not complete) is that they forbid the consumption of pork or alcohol, not the sale of said products to other. I mean, my butcher is Jewish, and he has never had a problem selling me pork chops or Schweinhaxe.
Besides, as Super-Chicken often said: You knew the job was dangerous when you took it. :-)
(BTW, One wonders if the company has a pharmacy, and if a pharmacist working their would have the right to refuse sale of an abortifacient drug on religious grounds?)

Who's on the board of directors at M&S? Nothing like insulting your customers, “Please you filthy non-Muslims, stand in the line over there if you want to purchase that filth.”

It’s disturbing how many times I have read things like this and then have checked to see if it were satire.

or if a gay person refuses to be waited on by a Muslim since they believe Gays should be stoned, beheaded, hanged....
I often wonder why Gays, GLAD groups aren’t going after Muslims for their religious beliefs on Gays...
