there are no words to describe how stupid this is is but predictably the blame will be shifted on Muslims instead of M&S  I've never ever ever come across any other muslim person who has ever suggested this, so don't blame us we didn't ask for it.

Is that true? I thought it was all fine and dandy unless you actually consumed the product. A lot of Muslim ran shops round here sell bacon, alcohol and such.

If you're considerate of others, there shouldn't be a problem.

A trolley full of pork...how often does that happen?
There is a problem because people are there to do a job, and religion shouldn't come into the workplace. Otherwise we would have people of every religion making excuses to get out of doing stuff. If you dont like your job, get a new one that doesn't involve doing things that mortally offend you.
To me, this has all come about because of one or two arseholes whingeing. Or its human resources or something deciding to get all offended on behalf of others (as bloody usual). I really really doubt most of the Muslim workers in M&S give a crap about handling the packaging of pork products or alcohol.
