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.

However, the gov’t will force an observant Catholic doctor to perform an abortion.

I had a vegan cashier whine about the meat in my order. I told her she may want to look for another line of work.

Is that’s what is next? Stores asking their customers to go to a different line because they have meat products?

Well, considering the fact that the Wegmann family is Jewish and their line of pork products is superb (I can personally attest to that), I doubt that they are going to stop selling them anytime soon. They are grociers and their Gentile customers eat pork - a lot of it.

This sign is probably about as far as the company is going to go to accomodate this Muslim teenager. In fact, given the Muslim dicta about not being subordinate to Christians and Jews, it is sort of surprising that an Sharia-observant Muslim would even work for a Jewish-owned business.

tear the package open so the “pork liquid” spills on the belt.

Yup, that’s what I would do too...

(Where is the equivalent store in Dallas... I’d love to do this to em)

Easy solution...buy pork, beer, wine, EVERYTHING, until she quits...she can ALWAYS find a job at a Halal truck. She will be just fine.

I’d be munching on pork rinds, too.

The Wegman family is actually Catholic and has been a huge supporter of the parochial schools in Rochester for a long time. Where did you get your information?

[Chode]

i guess you know what lane i'd use... and if he didn't like it i'd tell them to get me another cashier cause i'm not moving for somebody that refuses to do the job he signed up for

[codder too]

Owners are Catholic. Whats the deal here????

[codder too]

WEGMANS are CATHOLICS!!!!!!!!

[dfwgator]

There are also Dhimmis.

Many FReepers believe they can identify a Jew solely on the basis of a name or an occupation.

This reminds me of the pharmacists that decide what prescriptions they want to fill out based on their religion. Now cashiers are deciding what they want to sell based on their religion. Next, it will be the vending machines!

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

Same here. I'm sitting here trying to keep my head from exploding. It's a losing battle.

Most states don't allow teenagers to check out alcohol ~ has to be an adult.

Now the pork? I don't let Moslems touch my pork anyway.

[CatherineofAragon]

"Oh! That’s the only line I’d use!"

EXACTLY. And if the sand-dweller doing the ringing up didn't like my pork chops, he'd be free to resign. But otherwise, BAG THOSE PIGGIES!

[muawiyah]

The pharmacists didn't want to fill prescriptions for abortificiants ~ drugs that kill babies.

I wouldn't want to do that either. Certainly there is no shortage of willing volunteers who, in fact, WANT to fill prescriptions to kill babies.

Customers wanting that service can go there.
