I guess I just lead a sheltered life, but in almost 60 years of grocery shopping, I have never seen a sign at a register limiting what the customer may purchase, other than the maximum number of items at the express lane.

Now, I have seen separate tobacco & alcohol checkouts, but never for groceries. These were legal requirements, not the wishes of the checker.

It is fundamentally bad business practice to cater to the employee rather than the customer. The religious restrictions of the checker are irrelevant to the customer. If you inconvenience & aggravate customers, they will shop elsewhere. Smart businesses don't do that.

Maybe someone could do a follow-up on this. Like I said I've seen the practice around here where they "break in" a new cashier and simply tell folks to NOT try to buy fresh produce or meat at that line, and we have DOZENS of Moslem, Hindu, Buddhist and Christian cashiers all ringing up everything.

We didn't get a picture of the sign ~ and that means ~ this may be an analysis of what was going on as a new cashier with an hajib (scarf) is trained.

Maybe someone could follow-up with that store and see what the story is.
