Aldi allows muslim workers to refuse to sell alcohol
|
Tragic
|
Well I was going to say they should be made to do it but then I'm remembering in our local shop any staff under 18 aren't allowed to sell alcohol either and you have to go to another till :think:
|
Hardly an issue really..they should have proper signs saying the reason though..big large ones with bright lettering and large arrows pointing at the cashier.
|
Wow Salman really kicked up a fuss
|
State of it
|
I'd get it if they actually had to touch it but they don't really
Just another reason we should convert everywhere to self checkouts |
I don't like it tbh, if someone for whatever reason is against serving alcohol then they shouldn't apply for a job where they'll need to do that. As much as I normally hate the usual 'PC gone mad' cliche that seems to get thrown around all the time, I do actually think that this is an example of it. It just seems to go against common sense on the part of both parties, the worker and the shop, and it's the customers who are going to end up being put off by it so it's only going to end up harming the business, so as well as everything else it's just kinda dumb.

It's up to the shop to take responsibility for their own decisions, not blame them on their staff, they didn't have to do this. Employees of all religions make unreasonable requests at work all the time it doesn't mean the employer has to agree to them. |
My mum is an alcoholic and I've never touched alcohol, I was always the drive home! I would hate to have the loss of self control and I don't like the taste anyway.
This thread made me wonder, if I worked for them, if they'd be willing to do the same for me? If this is a consideration for any employee who has objections to alcohol then I guess that's ok, if a little inconvenient, if not then it's outrageous. |
When working in retail you have to be comfortable handling and selling all products that are available. It creates more work for other people on the tills otherwise. He should have probably been placed in a role that better suited his religious needs without inconveniencing anyone else like handling stock or delivery.
The guy in the original tweet is a bigoted arsehole though 'appeasement?' really? |

Sorry but I do not agree with this one bit. A ****ing joke. WHY work somewhere that sells alcohol if you're so against it?

Interesting none the less. Makes you want to know if anyone has raised those kind of objections to serving alcohol and what response they got. I kind of agree with other posters that it seems stupid to put this particular employee on the till. |

Wtf, he should be proud that everyone knows he is a good muslim boy. |
Their business, they can do what they like. If you don't like it, don't shop there.

So what happens if all available cashiers are Muslim?
|
It is a bit silly, they work in customer service, if you can't serve the customer work in a different part of the store and let someone else do the tills :/
