Re: Cashier refused to serv pork sauages

I remember a high profile case 2 years ago. I don't know M&S policy at the present.

Re: Cashier refused to serv pork sauages

A news item from December 2013 is hardly "news". As I remember M & S dealt with the issue in an effective manner to be sure that it doesn't happen again in any of their stores

happened last year in one store they now have things in place to ensure it can't happen. I still think it's odd because I don't know any religion that says you cannot sell pork ???

They addressed the problem as far as I am aware it can't happen now and I say again no religion says you cannot sell items.

Found out so now saying you are abusing them. Happens on forums all the time. Quite a common way to divert rom the trolling accusation.

Like I said the cashier said he couldn't why the manager put him on the tills ,

In December 2013, Marks & Spencer announced that Muslim checkout staff in the UK could refuse to sell pork products or alcohol to customers at their till.[126] The policy was announced after at least one news outlet reported that customers waiting with goods that included pork or alcohol were refused service, and were told by a Muslim checkout worker to wait until another till became available.[127] The policy applied across all 703 UK M&S stores and prompted a strong backlash by customers.[128]

A company spokesman subsequently apologised and stated that they will attempt to reassign staff whose beliefs may impact their work to different departments, such as clothing


I ask a question who at fault , it's his manager fault ,

Re: Cashier refused to serv pork sauages

oh dear Markey. I'm assuming you're being called a liar?

No, that person should not be working in a supermarket. I'm surprised they even wanted a job there.

Re: Cashier refused to serv pork sauages

So it didn't actually happen you just wanted to make a point about Muslims ? OK same thing could happen if member of staff was under 18 and I would guess you would shrug that one off and not make this fuss. Happened to me on Thursday in Morrisons the beer I had in my shopping had to be put through by an older member of staff. I accept the law and that people have to learn and went on my way with a thank you and a smile.
