Target Customers Get Porked

A Staff writer for The Star Tribune, reports that some Moslem cashiers that work in Target stores refuse to *ring pork* through the swiping machines:

At the Target store on E. Lake Street, a cashier wearing a hijab looked uncomfortable when I showed up at the cash register with a frozen pepperoni pizza. She immediately called for help, and another employee rang up the pizza and placed it in the basket.

I asked her if it was because she was Muslim, and she nodded her head. "I can't even touch it," she said.

I think it's fantastic that in our free societies, we will go out of our way to accommodate people of different faiths. Having said that, I'm pretty sure that when this particular woman signed up to become a Target cashier, she knew that she would have to pass pork products through her swiping machine. I mean, it's Target, not Targetstein or Al Abbir Al Target.

On the other hand, if we have this same consideration for all faiths, then it's even Steven and all is good. Like, it's not like Christian pharmacists could have their licences revoked if they don't dispense the morning after pill. Right?

That's all folks
