Tony May	I bet JK is secretly either loving this thread or fuming at it. Isn't this whole story and our subsequent posts a HUGE example of how the tabloid press have a way of 'stirring up things' and using the fallout from what they have created to sell newspapers? I could add my own somewhat controversial views on all this just to give the story even more spice and then suddenly someone reacts to that and complains! Then the complaint gets legal and as it gets legal so it gets in the papers and makes for a BIGGER story! All who care passionately one way or another about the subject matter get hurt and or sued. Many perfectly nice people get dragged into things and are financially ruined and who gains every time? The media. I may not be 100% convinced that your conviction JK was purely down to the fact that your alleged guilt was a far BIGGER story than your innocence not but I have to say in all fairness that such articles/threads like this ADD significant weight to your argument!

I would be annoyed if I was ushered to another checkout because my shopping offended the cashier.If you can't stand the heat don't go in the kitchen in the first place. silly stuff. Where are these rules of selling ? you don't have to shop at Marks and Spencer and can take your custom elsewhere. But more fool you if you do over an internal policy that is highly unlikely to affect you in a 100 years. Stop over-reacting because a business has the good sense to respect it's employees religious beliefs. and I'll overlook the referring of a religious garment to a sex control device.
andrew	Agree and also if they had to get another cashier to serve someone, it be insulting to the consumer.

hedda	I think there is an overreaction to this. Hasn't everyone been to a Bar Mitzvah or formal Jewish / Muslim event when Halal or Kosher experts come into the kitchens etc to ensure food is prepared correctly ? I always don a Kippah if required. If people have strong religious views isn't it polite to respect them ? I doubt this is going to play out with assistants grandly storming off- more "let me get someone to help you with that..." we must resist the urge to join in on Daily Mail/Sun/ etc etc faux outrage.
