Marks & Spencer has told Muslim staff they can refuse to serve shoppers buying alcohol or pork, it has been revealed.
The chain has granted checkout workers in more than 700 stores permission to politely decline to serve customers for religious reasons.
Instead, shoppers are being asked to wait to pay for certain items at a different till.
The policy highlights a divide among the mainstream food retailers over whether religious staff should be excused from certain tasks.
In contrast to M&S, Sainsbury's has told Muslim staff that there is no reason why they cannot handle goods such as alcohol and pork - even if they are not allowed to eat or drink the products.

they have. muzzie cabdrivers refusing to take people with service dogs.
Here is the irony:
Marks and Spencers are the most famous Jewish business in the UK.
In that case I can refuse to go to a checkout with a towelhead.
M&S faces furious backlash from customers over Muslim policy
Marks & Spencer’s official Facebook page is deluged with messages from customers furious at bosses’ decision to let Muslim staff refuse to serve pork and alcohol to customers, as campaign is launched to boycott store
It does if you wish to ingratiate yourself with your new masters.
Heard about that it happened in the US. I think that people could sue the cab company. If those Mussies are hired to do a job they best by gosh do it or find some other kind of work.
Sikhs are not Muslim.
I like it. Let them experience the wasted time and money that comes from surrendering to Islamic supremacy demands.
Marks & Sparks has lost it big time, I see. Well, Brit friends, just F’m.
I bought my share of pork pies at M&S on a trip to London last month and will do that again. They also have self-checkout — even though this is ridiculous. Plenty of muslims in hijabs and even burkas shopping on Oxford St.
There are other retails stores to go to.
If this happened to me, I would leave my cart and leave.
Let the non-moslims put everything back.
And I would not darken their door again.
Actually, IIRC, I believe Target in Minnesota has been faced with this issue and succumbed to the Islam pressure groups to some extent.
More Islamic Intolerance...if Muslims cannot comply with a non Muslim nations mores and ways...they need to leave.
I misunderstood your post, then. Sorry bout that.
Isn’t Marks & Spencer worse then A&E?
:-) n/p..sometimes I shoot comments w/o any context.
Target has that rule? I guess they don’t want me as a customer.
