Yep, at least CA&D served a purpose in preventing other boards getting bogged down in nonsensical "debates". You are more likely to get a reasonable opinion in the cafe.I'm not sure that the Cafe is actually safe anymore
FWIW, if M&S persist with allowing this, I would be tempted to boycott them. Utter stupidity, and I suspect has nothing to do with anyones beliefs.

I'm all for reasonable adjustments in the workplace and I have many friends, of many races and religions, but this is a step too far!

I don't care someone cocked in M&S and it is an internal matter. Knowing, as I do, many who work for such stores I hear plenty about the issues that arise and are dealt with by compromise but never reach the newspapers. Religion OTOH is a surefire way to get people aroused, sell scummy newspapers and get people arguing on forums!
It's Christmas FFS, can't we give religion a rest for a few days?

Sounds to me as if Damian Thompson wants to have a spout (rather than a sprout) and is trying to frame it as "PC gawn mad"

I would dump everything at the till and walk off if anyone said that to me, as a customer I expect the retailer to provide me with a service and staff equipped with the skill set to provide me with a service.
Im curious if the stance will change if they have vast amount of pork products going out of date due to people being unable to purchase them

M&S internal policy on who can handle what is entirely up to them. However, if they're stupid enough to put a Muslim on a general checkout where that person may be asked to handle pork or alcohol amongst a trolley-load of shopping and then expect the customer to shift everything to a non-Muslim till, then they'd find themselves with all of my shopping abandoned right there.
That wouldn't be the fault of the checkout assistant but of management who put him there.

Alright, I'll fall for it - I expect the Muslim in question was born in this flipping country, just like you.

I thought they just could not consume it rather than not handling it at all. I agree this is rather ridiculous. The line Sainsburys took is more of a logical one, common sense prevailed.
