UK: Muslim cashier refuses to check out people buying wine, “against her religion”

Dec 28, 2016 10:53 am By Robert Spencer

“If you apply for a job surely you’ve got to be able to do everything within the boundaries of that job.”

Indeed. The question is this: where will British authorities draw the line? How much Sharia compliance is acceptable to them, and how much is too much? Will the principle that all people should have equal access to services give way to Sharia exceptions? How many? Will Tesco eventually set up separate queues for those buying halal products and those buying haram ones? Will it eventually stop selling haram products altogether? Where exactly does this end, as far as Theresa May and her ilk are concerned?

“Furious Tesco shopper is ordered to ‘go and join another queue’ by Muslim cashier who refused to sell him a bottle of wine because it was ‘against her religion,'” by Joseph Curtis, Mailonline, December 28, 2016:

A father-of-three has hit out at Tesco after a Muslim shop assistant refused to sell him a bottle of wine due to her ‘religious beliefs’.

Lee Saunders was trying to buy the rosé wine at a superstore in Feltham, Middlesex, when he was told to go to a different till by the worker, who was aged in her 20s and wearing a headscarf.

He was eventually served by a duty manager but criticised the supermarket giant for putting a member of staff in that position.

Mr Saunders, 35, told the Sun he was ‘miffed and baffled’ by the incident.

He said: ‘If you apply for a job surely you’ve got to be able to do everything within the boundaries of that job.’…

      That is EXACTLY what should happen.

      As this isn’t the first time a Muslim has pulled this stunt (in GB, at least), this is a management failure and the public SHOULD “create a stink” about it.

    Awww. Poor thing, forced to sell haram food articles to unholy kafirs. Surely the dhimmis at Tesco can start a “muslims only” check out lines served by muslimas. Counters must be aligned in the direction of mecca. That should solve all the problems that the self-entitled check out line muslimas currently face. This will surely be a non-issue when shariah is implemented in full in Englishtan. Of course.

    By the way, I am amazed at the Englishman’s still upper lip response. Mr Saunders, 35, told the Sun he was ‘miffed and baffled’ by the incident. Miffed, I say. Baffled, oh no! What has the world come to?

    Come on, Englishmen, show your true feelings. All that suppressed anger will eat you up from the inside one day.

    This is happening on a regular basis in the UK. So often in fact that it no longer makes headlines as often as it used to. Most people get round this issue by avoiding any cashiers that look remotely Muslim (a hijab is dead giveaway) when buying alcohol or pork. They head to a white blonde Eastern European cashier or a self-checkout machine.

      ”Most people get round this issue by avoiding any cashiers that look remotely Muslim (a hijab is dead giveaway) when buying alcohol or pork.”

      Personally, when buying alcohol and pork, I *deliberately* head for the mohammedan cashier, if there is one. So far, none of them have refused to serve me, but just wait until one of them does ! 🙂

        I take the same attitude, I would also refuse to have the checkout supervisor or duty manager ring the items through. Either the Islamist would have to do it or they would have to remove her from her position. If they fail to do either of those things all goods would be “delicately” emptied onto the floor of the checkout aisle ensuring that the adjacent checkout is out of operation as well until cleaned up. I would then take my custom elsewhere.

      The queue management of the big supermarkets now prevents you from choosing the cashiers, there is a single queue and they tell you where you have to go to pay….or imagine all of them are Muslims , what happens? It’s ridiculous . We must de-Islamise Europe. This has gone too far.

        ”The queue management of the big supermarkets now prevents you from choosing the cashiers, there is a single queue and they tell you where you have to go to pay … ”

        I don’t know where you live in Europe, but it’s certainly not like that in the UK. People are free to pick any queue they want, and most people pick the shortest queue. Except for greasy islamophobes like me. 🙂

      And avoiding any conflict by deliberately overlooking the situation (which was once considered a civilised response) is exactly why slowly, but surely, Britain is sliding towards eventual sharia domination. Britain tried “deliberately overlooking” the danger of Nazism (until war broke out.)

    -DARURA refers to the principles of necessity and need to lighten the burden of Muslims so may practice Islam quietly and preserve their social life. Under ‘darura’, Muslims are permitted to ignore any and all Islamic rules if ‘necessity’ dictates it, even to the point of openly denying his or her religion.
    By applying ‘darura’ to issues of halal/haram (permitted/forbidden) Muslims are enabled to work as shop clerks handling pork and alcohol, if that is needed to earn a living.

    Most people will not protest and will say ok. When they demand that during the ramadan on the beaches they dress with modesty … they will say that ok. When in the supermarket only sell halal products and you have to go to a specific place to buy ham, beers .. they will say ok. The same will happen in the clothing stores with the products made with pig leather.Also in the music and in The cinema will be censored. When music does not sound in the neighborhoods at parties because it disturbs the Muslims they will see it logical and will have to go to specific places to celebrate parties. When we realize … we will not have concerts, parties, joy … freedom, we will be Islamic countries.

    Fight back with a boycott. Expose the submission to Islam the best way you can. Act with your purchase power. Hurt them where it counts. Boycott the store You will effect more rapid change on management for being a bunch of submissive pussies.

  9. StacyGirl says

    How’s this: when shopping, accidentally place a large pork cut and/or case of alcohol in the cart of a Muslim. These things happen especially at the Costco near their hive on Fridays.

    Take your pork and beer crate to the Muslim checker. When they try to make you accommodate the cult worship of the checker, walk out. This happened at Target in our area and the muslima disappeared. But remember, you’re the one with the problem.

      For a couple of years I have tried to do that very thing. here in the US. There is a Muslim woman with her garb on who frequently shops at my local grocery. I follow her with a package of bacon hopping for the chance to put ii in her cart but she has a little boy (In Western clothing, of course) who watches me like a hawk. Some day I will succeed, though.

    Surely Tesco knows about muslim attitudes before they employ them? So, if they know she’ll refuse to do the same job as everyone else [cashiers] then why the hell is she employed. Appeasement gone mad. Believe me, she’s lucky she only offended this mild-mannered guy – there are ppl in the UK who are not known for their gentle approach. lt could have been a bottle over the head LOL

  11. davej says

    Dec 28, 2016 at 1:16 pm

    It is the fault of the employer. They need to explain that we sell all kinds of products and as a prospective cashier you will need to be able to check out any and all of them. If you refuse you will be fired. Sign here _______.

    The arrogant busybodyness of Islam is one of it’s most annoying traits. If you prefer not to consume bacon or wine then fine, but leave your religion at home. To allege that they are somehow harmed or offended by the actions of others (or by passing an unopened bottle of wine over a scanner) is absurd and is only done to give themselves special rights that no one else has. The desire to make the rules for everyone else is a big clue to the supremacy and intolerance of this weird “religion”.

    What would she have done if an obvious muslim (hihmjab or whatever) showed up at her till with bacon? Would she not then be in one helluva dilemma?? Why don’t one of you (or more) do that? Yes I would go crazy trying to figure it out.

      This is the kind of jibberish one discovers when researching Islam’s actual texts/teachings/beliefs. Per this article, there’s no consensus, and it should be used to refute claims that Muslims cannot sell alcohol or pork–both before being hired and after.

    From the article’s comments section”

    “So a baker’s shop in Ireland gets prosecuted for refusing to bake a cake celebrating gay marriage because it’s against their faith, but a Muslim refuses to serve someone alcohol and that’s ok ?“

    Dec 28, 2016 at 3:19 pm

    All these little actions while by themselves don’t seem overly serious but when added up from all over it becomes an underlying problem. Like tiny chisels the Muslims continually chip away at the foundations of our western society with their demands. This action reminds me of the movie “The Shawshank Redemption” where the character Andy Dufresne used a tiny rock hammer to chip an escape hole through his cell wall. It took him nearly 20 years to do it and wore down the hammer to a nub, but he ultimately succeeded in his quest. Morgan Freeman’s narrative of this event “All it Takes is Time and Pressure” is so applicable to the situation the west is facing. The Muslims are not in any hurry because they know they ultimately will prevail with lots of time and tiny but continual pressures. Meanwhile they will breed like rabbits and keep tapping the chisels of Islamic serfage. This is the real danger because it happens so slowly nobody really takes notice.

    Around here it’s not unusual for a grocery store checkout clerk to be too young to ring up an alcohol sale. He or she simply calls over a manger to do it. ‘Go to another line’, indeed.

    I would have created such a stink over this! First, I would have gone and gotten some pork to go with the wine, then I would have asked her if it was against her religion to be outside of the home without a male family member. Did she drive herself to work? Was she working for other musloims or “infidels?”
