It looks like they've put her on the games counter or something, so she generally wouldn't have to deal with alcohol.
Pretty stupid though, as it's not against her religion to sell it.
The Standard included the man's full quote, which makes it clearer:
http://www.standard.co.uk/news/lond...worker-refused-customer-alcohol-a3428896.html
"The reason I was at that particular till by customer service was to get the disc for the game."
I wonder why the Mail included virtually everything else that he said, apart from that bit?
A boxing gym with a cage, so you cant escape, I so want to kick the crap out of you.
Just dont die from a heart attack will you.
The story's not particularly relevant, but that part really is.
Tesco tried to please everyone, by allowing a staff member to avoid something that their religion doesn't approve of.
They ended up mildly annoying one bloke a bit. Hardly national news, is it?
It should've been avoided, as Islam doesn't prohibit the sale of alcohol, only it's consumption.
If she was personally that against it, then she probably shouldn't work somewhere that sells it.
If she's going to, then she should avoid working on any sort of till.
Why is she working in a shop that sells alcohol, also its not forbidden for Muslims to sell alcohol only not to drink it.
I literally made both of those points in the comment that you've quoted.
What a pathetic, mouthy little twat you really are stumpy. I'd wager you got bullied a lot at school and was probably interfered with by a male family member or 3

'Hard' Brexit will give Government 'fantastic opportunity' to LOWER food prices
THE GOVERNMENT has a "fantastic opportunity" to lower the cost of British families' weekly shop if it opts for a clean break from the European Union, a leading think tank has claimed.

The PM has been told she has a 'fantastic opportunity' to cut the price of everyday foods
By quitting the bloc's Customs Union, a so-called 'hard Brexit', ministers could send the price of a range of everyday foods tumbling, according to the Legatum Institute's Special Trade Commission.
In a soon-to-be-released report, the think tank's trade experts will make a series of recommendations to Theresa May's Government for a successful departure from the EU.
And near the top of the list will be leaving the EU's restrictive Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) in order to eliminate quotas and tariffs on all products British farmers cannot grow themselves.
This could lead to significant falls in the price of goods such as tuna, bananas, avocados, olive oil, corn, coffee and vanilla.
Speaking at a briefing earlier this month, Legatum Institute research associate Molly Kiniry said: "This is pretty much a no-brainer, you can’t grow bananas in Britain so why would we pay seven or eight per cent [tariff] to import them.
"And certainly why would we have any sort of quota on the number of those products that could be imported a year. "We don’t anticipate there’s going to be much pushback from the British farming community on that. "And that should deliver fairly substantial consumer welfare benefits, especially on those foods which are very commonly eaten."She added: "We even pay a 4.5 per cent tariff on communion wafers, which is almost hard to believe."There’s certainly an opportunity for the Government to make policy changes to lower food prices.

Leaving the Customs Union would allow Britain to set its own tariffs, which Ms Kiniry told Express.co.uk would offer the Government "a fantastic opportunity to make some changes that would probably lower the price of food for the average Briton while helping our farming community at the same time".
She noted how the EU had 12 different tariff lines for tuna, depending on the species, whether it is fresh or frozen and even if it is sold with a head on or off.
Ms Kiniry warned, by contrast, other factors could adversely impact food prices, such as regulatory schemes and inflation caused by the fall in the value of the pound since the Brexit vote.
She said: "If the pound stays where it is right now and the Government chooses the same policies then food prices will go up."But she added: “There’s certainly an opportunity for the Government to make policy changes to lower food prices.

A pound to a pinch of dogshit, the same ones that are defending her stance on her beliefs being applied to someone elses business, would have been the same ones criticising the Christian B&B couple who didn't want to rent a room to gay couples because of their religious beliefs.
There are a few clips on youtube of people being refused wedding cakes for gay couples in muslim run shops.
And who the **** are The Legatum Institute, I hear you cry?
Why, a right wing 'think' tank, of course!... ( did you really expect anything else?)

Gosh. What a super sleuth. You do realise it's a tad bigoted and prejudiced to dismiss opinions due to your narrow minded beliefs, don't you?
Why don't you try posting something either a) original, or b) doesn't derive from some batty right wing 'think' tank?...
It's your beliefs that are narrow minded, pal. I don't need a ****ing pipe and deerstalker to figure out what the source of anything you repost is gong to be!...
First of all, who's defended her stance on her beliefs on this thread?
Secondly, the example you've given is utterly wrong.
If she'd have refused to serve the man alcohol because he was gay, then it would've been an equivalent issue.
If the Christian couple had refused to rent a room to any couples, then it wouldn't have been a problem, either.
You simply don't understand the issue, I'm afraid.
