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 remember going to Wegman’s as a kid when I lived up in Skaneateles,NY.
My grandmother and I would shop at the one in Auburn. She still has a roll of aluminum foil from the store.
I would only buy pork products and walk out leaving the stuff on the belt after complaining I was being discriminated against by the moozlum employee.
Wegmans is not a government.
Make that gluten free beer and you got a deal. No good reason to let pork go to waste.
I’ll throw in some tampax and some condoms as well....lets not stop at the pork and beer..

How ‘bout if I wait for this Mudslime cashier to get off work and then SHOVE A HAM SANDWICH DOWN HIS FILTHY THROAT...Just a thought!
And yet they can compel bakeries and photographers to support gay marriages, even if they are against it.
Only as far as they're going to go? What? Don't you think this is TOO far?
LOL, perfect!
At Whole Foods, the vegetarian cashiers generally scan my meat purchases with a glove or plastic baggie on their hands.
On the days before holidays, every line in the store but the muslim one will be 6 deep with customers buying alcohol. Again, unhappy customers.
Since muslims will gravitate to the muslim checker, customer perception may be that this is a muslim-only line. You guessed it - unhappy customers.
You run into Wegmans to buy a six pack before the big game. As you approach the registers you realize they are all packed with shoppers, but the little muslim girl has no customers at all. The game starts in 5 minutes. Are you happy or mad as hell?
From a management perspective: You have 15 full time employee checkers, 14 of whom will checkout everything, & one who refuses to check certain items, & their list grows daily as they realize how many products (50, 100, or more?) have alcohol or pork products in them. Which employees are keepers, & which would you fire? How will you resolve the conflict when a customer insists they have no pork or alcohol, but the checker insists a certain product contains one or both? Will you publicly humiliate the customer, the employee, yourself, or all of the above?
And what about the Hindu clerk who has a religious aversion to beef? Or the Vegan who refuses to handle any meat? Has Wegmans heard of Equal Protection or Discrimination or the Holder Justice Dept.? I smell meat, & a lawsuit.
Here's another for your amusement: You, the manager, bought a truckload of pork ribs to sell on 4th July weekend. You stand to make a nice profit if you can sell most of the ribs. But when customers enter the very busy store, they realize that if they just skip the ribs, or leave them on the candy isle, they can join the much shorter muslim line & checkout quicker. So, they leave the ribs & get the chicken instead. How's that muslim only line working out for you?
If you think about these scenarios, you realize Wegmans cannot succeed with this policy. The grocery business is highly competitive & very customer conscious. Angering customers with what amounts to religiously designated checkout lines is not a formula for success. Forcing customers to memorize an ever growing list of muslim banned products ain't gonna happen. Denying a customer the use of an empty checkout line because they are buying bologna or mouthwash is gonna infuriate busy customers. The result will be constant conflict & lower revenue.
Let’s see what happens if customer comes in with an BBQ pork T-shirt and a Jack Daniels baseball cap and goes through the muzzie cashier’s line. This is ridiculous.
Since times are tough no one is in there pushing around store managers ~ everybody will check out anything you want to buy.
Like Mr. Hussein across the way says, the prohibition is on eating pork, not on handling it.
I suspect the other poster from NY is correct ~ the clerk (probably a young woman) is underage for ringing up beer and wine.
The other half of the equation is common here too ~ they'll take a newbie and put up a sign "NO MEAT SALES" ~ which has to do with breaking in the cashier ~ didn't they used to call that ON THE JOB TRAINING?
First the drygoods with barcodes, then the items sold by weight, and that'd include fresh meat and veggies.
Next week she'll be handling pork snouts without a whimper.
Grocery stores in Virginia don’t sell distilled beverages ~ do they where you live?
Here is what you do:
Select only muslim approved products. Then, wait until a large female infidel with a full cart has unloaded at the muslim line. Get behind her, & casually point out to Fatima the checker that a certain product or products MIGHT have pork or alcohol in them. You know, something like, “Wow. I really like the bacon they added to that soup”, or “I know a guy who claims he gets drunk on vanilla extract.”
Once you see the checker start to go on jihad, stand way back, look innocent, & watch the fun. Extra points if you film it & post link here.
(If you have to defend yourself, shout “Allah Akbar” several times.)
What’s Next?
Israeli products, of course.
My husband and I went to a talk by Robert Spencer and Pam Geller a couple of weeks ago. Spencer said that the Chicago schools stopped serving jello because of complaints by Muslim students. He explained how Muslims consider us all subservient to them so all this complying to their wishes is not endearing us to them at all. It’s sealing our fate.
What would happen if a person uses that checkout line anyway? How can anyone tell that the cashier is a muslim?
I guess if I was in line and had pork or booze if some manager came over and told me that I was in the wrong line, I’d be inclined to put the items down right there, on the conveyor belt, or on the floor, and agree with him by saying, “You know what, I am in the wrong store, not the wrong line.”
“...Wegmann family is Jewish...”
Where do you get that from?
Robert Wegman was famous for donating millions every year to the Catholic Schools in the Rochester area.
I would think they are Catholic. Not Jewish.
