Customers at Marks & Spencer were outraged when a Muslim worker refused to serve customers who wanted to buy alcohol or pork.
Would they allow this for a Christian refusing to serve gay people or a Jewish employee not wanting to handle pork?
Many customers were furious over this and have rightfully threatened to boycott the store. If employees don't want to handle pork, alcohol or other meat then don't work there.
Were the customers right to be angry and threaten a boycott? Should the employee be punished and not get special privileges?
The good news out of this is the customers fought back and threatened a boycott. Hopefully this doesn't happen again but I have my doubts.

This is just wrong. What about Sikh and Hindu employees who can't eat meat or have alcohol? They don't complain but do the job and it's not like they're being forced to consume them.One shopper said: 'I had one bottle of champagne, and the lady, who was wearing a headscarf, was very apologetic but said she could not serve me. She told me to wait until another member of staff was available
