Muslims working for M&S wont sell you a BLT

I did a brief day in Trading Standards once when some geezer got his porn dvds confiscated. I had to catalogue all the titles - they had rather explicit covers and, as the Trading Standards office was manned by women, they all refused so I did it. Is that much different?

Wtf is a "brief day in trading standards", were you only there a couple of hours or was it a full day checking for counterfeit knickers?

Or was that just more Hairy bull shiite?

You've got him confused, hairy. He can't quite make up his mind whether to ask a question or post his usual abuse.

A brief day, a fleeting morning/afternoon combo, a rather short lived duration helping out. About 7 hours.

Employment law is a funny one and most often more and more weighted in favour of the large employer.
The exchange of labour and capital is but one relationship we all have. Most other relationships we have over a long period are far more important.
Too many bow down to "the boss" in that relationship and accept regular abuse.
I do believe an employee should do what they agree to in their employment contract. But I believe a "job interview" should be 2 way, and the employer be quizzed to the same degree as the employee. We know that doesn't happen in reality, so how do people stand up for their own individual beliefs, religious or otherwise ?

In the end if M&S can't get the staff they need, they'll have to bend, and I guess this is what has happened here. More please. I'm sure they have plenty of other staff who will fill in if necessary. No big deal.
