Is that not a bit like Catholics selling condoms.
I don't have a problem with it and respect the decision of the individual and the store.

As long as it's made clear before you load up the till and put your wine and pork scratchings at the back....
Simple - if they have issues serving certain products, move them elsewhere in the shop.
It could also be questioned why get a job in a supermarket if your beliefs restrict you from serving certain products...

So when M&S say that only staff who are happy to touch pork or alcohol can work on the till, and those who don't are on floor sweeping duties, or if M&S stop employing people from certain religions, there isn't going to be a backlash?
If I'm in a shop and I've queued, I would be very miffed if I was told to go to another till
If you work for a company, you need to be happy with what that company does, if not go work somewhere else!
We are getting Too PC , too namby pamby in my opinion

I've worked in Saudi a few times. Try going there and expressing any kind of 'rights.'

It'll be interesting if all supermarkets introduce the same rules and what about when you do home delivery!

You know, i'am convinced that these idiots actually know what kind of reaction decisions like this are going to generate.
Surely no one who has risen to the point of creating policy in a buisness like M&S can be this stupid. :angry:

Sums up the way this country has gone, complete joke. Its beyond repair now though, we are too far gone. Everything is some form of discrimination.
If you are so strict to a religion then you need to either adapt it to living in a Christian country or piss off to somewhere that is a muslim/an other religion country imo.

Have to agree. I couldn't ever see myself moving back now. Our country has changed man. And from what I hear, it's getting worse

Its unbelievable now what happens. I know a few people of different religions who just cant understand it either so where it comes from is beyond me.
If I moved to another country with a different culture I would not go there and make my own rules up, I would embrace that countries beliefs along with my own and anything that goes against my own religion I would just avoid.

Oh dear - if all muslim home delivery packers and drivers demanded this then they and the supermarkets are going to have a bit of a problem. The former are tempting the shopper with alcohol - the latter with plonking (sorry) it on their doorstep. Interesting that this is nothing to do with the individual's consumption of pork or alcohol.

There would be a big queue behind me if this happened to me, I'd simply refuse to budge until someone sorted it, and quite a few people in the store would have heard me too

Maybe M&S will have 'No Alcohol, No Pork' tills. But what about chocolate liqueurs, bacon crisps, sherry trifle - indeed any food that includes alcohol or pork as an ingredient. This seems to me to be a re rather unconscionable demand that M&S have given in to in a bit of PC pandering. It's just daft - as most muslims will agree.

Typically they are ok for veggies, so should be fine with your bag of frazzles.

So if you are a Racist can you go and get a Job a M&S and say you won't serve non whites?
