Marks & Spencer has told Muslim staff they can refuse to serve shoppers buying alcohol or pork, it has been revealed.

The chain has granted checkout workers in more than 700 stores permission to politely decline to serve customers for religious reasons.

Instead, shoppers are being asked to wait to pay for certain items at a different till.

How about birth control?

Halal check out lines. The insanity grows.

Can non-Muslim staff refuse to serve Muslim shoppers?

[Paulie]

Mmmm...doesn't sound all that tolerant and sensitive. PC doesn't apply the the religion of peace I guess.

What happens if a Christian refuses to wait on a Muslim.

I think we all know.

That Christian will be looking for a job.

Perhaps a straight doesn’t want to wait on a carpet muncher.

Gone.

[Cicero]

So you have to wait in line twice if you have the bad luck to get a Muslim clerk?

[elkfersupper]

The fastest way to remove me as a potential customer is to refuse to take my money.

Hell, I'm 61 years old and it is a WHOLE lot more difficult for me to buy tobacco or booze now than when I was 8 and 16, respectively..

I would tell this company to pound sand.

[Kirkwood]

I would call it free pork and alcohol day.

What happens if a Christian refuses to wait on a Muslim.

The same thing that would happen at Marks & Spencer if a Muslim refused to wait on a Christian.

and wouldn't you support the right of an employer to allow a Catholic pharmacist to defer from filling a request for an abortifacient?

And wouldn't you support the right of a Christian employer to not have to pay for abortion services for his employees?

By the same token, there's nothing wrong with not requiring Muslim employees from handling pork or alcohol.

By the same token, there's nothing wrong with not requiring Muslim employees from handling pork or alcohol.

This should be a well-publicized qualification for the job of cashier. Me, I'd never be a customer there again.

Push back is coming. Most popular song in Britain...

I hope they lose all their non-Muzzie customers

[Cyber Liberty]

What’s a “Marks & Spencer?”

[GeronL]

and wouldn't you support the right of an employer to allow a Catholic pharmacist to defer from filling a request for an abortifacient?

Which they do not have, according to the courts.

a clerk at wegmans tried this last year - huge backlash

I shouldnt have to wait to spend money - the clerk took the job knowing it

[Graybeard58]

So you have to wait in line twice if you have the bad luck to get a Muslim clerk?

I see lots of abandoned carts in their future. I'd leave mine parked and walk away as soon as I heard I had to go to another line.

Grovel before thy masters!

The problem is we are talking about Muslims and Islam. Islam is an imperialist and supremacist ideology. This deference reinforces their belief that they are superior to all others.
