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.

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

[Travis McGee]

Nope, sorry, won’t comply. If she wants to live “sharia compliant,” she can return to her desert home.

[Farmer Dean]

I’ll boycott any store that tries this in my area.

[bigheadfred]

What’s the name, again, of that store just down the street?

[cripplecreek]

Wasn’t there a thread about the wonders of this chain just the other day?

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

“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. “

Oh! That’s the only line I’d use!

[GreyFriar]

How long until Wegman’s stops selling all fresh and frozen pork and any product that contains port? Will the next stop be protests by muslims demanding that and wegman’s giving in?

[EGPWS]

Oh, so you have to ask if the cashier is a mooselimb?

[ccmay]

I’d go through the line with a bottle of whiskey and a side of bacon, again, and again, and again.

Gonna have to get a seeing eye dog.

“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. “

They’re asking? If I was in the area, I would specifically use that muzzie cashier’s lane and buy bacon strips.

[MtBaldy]

That is absolute and utter bullsheet. The proper response when a cashier says, “I will not ring up pork or alcohol”, is, “There’s the door. You can come back and pick up your check on Friday.

The proper response for a Wegman’s customer on reading this is, “Top’s is not so bad”.

I like Wegman’s stores but even if I still lived in NY I wouldn’t shop there.

[353FMG]

Here in Texas, H.E.B. has started selling chicken that is ‘HALAL’.

When they start selling halal fish on Fridays is when I stop doing business with them altogether.

http://times247.com/articles/rochester-supermarket-becomes-sharia-complaint I posted the wrong link...wish there was an edit button - Sorry guys

[cripplecreek]

The customer is always right...

...unless the cashier is an islamderthal, then the customer is an infidel.

[GiovannaNicoletta]

We have Wegman's near me and if I'm in the right mood I'll go in the store and pick up several packages of pork chops and bacon and look for a Muslim running one of their cash registers and deliberately get in that line then when he or she made an issue out of it I'd walk out of the store and leave the pork right in front of them on the conveyor belt.

And on my way out, I'd stop at the customer service desk and I'd make it clear to Wegman's management that that was my last visit to their store.

[greatvikingone]

Encouraging profiling....?

[Joe 6-pack]

Interesting. Just about a week ago, there was a puff piece on Wegmans, calling it, “the anti-Walmart.”

[Squantos]

Voting with my dollars 24/7.... Hope they go broke.

Stay safe Travis...

[tomkat]

Oh! That’s the only line I’d use!

You and me both, Doc.

[rod1]

Absolutely ridiculous. Wegman’s is a great family developed store in NYS like HEB in Texas. It is a shame to see this happen. If other faiths don’t personally eat beef do we need checkout lines that exclude that as well? I am sure Wegman’s chicken was not slaughtered as per Sharia law. So why is that permissable to be checked out?

So basically, if you buy beef, pork, and chicken you might as well put it back on the shelf because you are not checking out.

What about vegan checkers?

[Vision]

Assimilate or leave.

Next.

[EGPWS]

Perfect opportunity for an up and coming food chain to set up a store and put them out of business.

They could run weekly "Kosher" specials too.

[Deagle]

Our downfall is in progress - slowly but surely.

[Sir Clancelot]

So, I presume that there is a sign for all the Catholic cashiers, asking customers to refrain from bringing condoms, birth control pills, or other forms of contraception to their check out lines?

[GOPsterinMA]

Folks were orgasmic when Wegmans opened their first store here in MA. They're supposed to be “the best”. Wegmans is planning to open a couple (or more) stores in MA over the next 2 years.

I'll say this, this cements my decision that I'll never set foot in a Wegmans. I'll still be sticking with Market Basket (or as I still call them, Demoulas).

[Nepeta]

Well, isn't that nice?

If someone wants to shop in an halal compliant store, they can begin by opening one of their own, not by changing an existing store and generating inconvenience for existing clientele. There are, after all, kosher grocery stores.

If any store tries this locally, I'm going to make a point of buying something "unclean" and taking it to that checkout in hopes of raising hell. When the store asks me to leave, permanently, I will gladly agree to never bring my money there again.

[Java4Jay]

It won’t stop here if we allow it. What’s next, pork not allowed in that building, pork not allowed in that city, pork not allowed in that state, pork not allowed period ???

[GeronL]

90% of NYC are leftists, so I guess there will be no real boycott from the dhimmi’s

[Oztrich Boy]

How long until Wegman’s stops selling all fresh and frozen pork and any product that contains port?

Is this a cheese shop or not?

[Stosh]

Try to get a job in a drugstore, and tell them to please ask anybody getting the morning-after pill to see another clerk.

Let me know how that works.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Muslims don’t lke to eat pork because they’re against cannibalism.

[Kenny500c]

I live in NY and teenagers can’t ring up beer (the only alcohol sold in supermarkets) anyway, they need to summon an adult to the register.

[Sacajaweau]

Wegmans is local for me...

Psssst...They use pink slime in their meat....and will use it until the supply is gone....They're very expensive and I go there only for sale items.

[GladesGuru]

“Oh, so you have to ask if the cashier is a mooselimb?”

Actually, no. Just look for the Circle Flies.

[mikrofon]

“This Checkout Line Out of Operation at 10:30, 1:30 & 4:30 During the C-T-P.”

[Mathews]

Well, there goes that. I used to like this store. Not so much so much now.

[mrsmel]

Yes it is. I hope whatever people run the coming “civilisation” enjoy the world they are going to live in.

[Blueflag]

Hey - loved book 1. Read the excerpt of book two. Loved the snake throwing incident on the collective farm. How best to acquire book 2 in the series? ( what helps you the most)

[cripplecreek]

We have Meijer stores here. They’re a fine option if you don’t care for Wal Mart.

[LyinLibs]

Just checked the fridge. Looks like I need more bacon.

Where exactly is this store, and which line am I looking for?

[GladesGuru]

“What’s next, pork not allowed in that building, pork not allowed in that city, pork not allowed in that state, pork not allowed period ???”

Pork is under eternal protection of Da Gooberment.

Ask your CongressCritter about elimination of pork and watch the reaction.

[A CA Guy]

Isn’t that kind of segregation racism and something people can sue over?

“90% of NYC are leftists, so I guess there will be no real boycott from the dhimmi’s”

Obviously geography wasn’t your best subject in school.

Rochester is a couple hundred miles as the crow flies and 8 hours of driving away from NYC.

[artichokegrower]

No problemo. I’ll just go to a different store.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Do they wear rubber gloves? If not, shake their hand and say thank you.
Your very so soft hand softened with ‘lard lotion’.

If no hand shaking allowed, find another way to get the ‘lotion’ on them. heehee. I’m so bad.

[rawcatslyentist]

Sacrificed to satan by genuine mohamedan butchers.

They perform the same ritual to kill animals as they do humans!!!!

Cerially!
