Muslim Store Worker Refuses To Serve Customer B Buying Ham And Wine because Of Fast by TheBigUrban2: 6:30am On Jul 19, 2014 |
Tesco in Neasden has issued an apology after a Muslim worker refused to serve a customer buying ham and wine because he was fasting for Ramadan. Source; http://www.london24.com/news/muslim_tesco_worker_refuses_to_sell_ham_and_wine_during_ramadan_1_3686394 Why work in a store that sells ham and wine, when you feel that your religion stops you from doing so? 1 Like |

Muslim and their wahala. Always making mountain out of molehill. If he doesn't want to serve or sell forbidden beverages then he should do the needful. Stop working with Tesco. Na small small dem dey cause unwarranted troubles in the name of religion. |

TheBigUrban2: Both sides! The Muslim dude is stretching something very basic. If he can't serve ham then he should do so without inconveniencing the customers. It's all about making the proper arrangements with some of his co-workers. The lady too, though a customer, should at least have tried to be a bit more understanding with this guy. Her insistence (I presume) on this dude serving her ham is also stretching a simple matter. If someone else can get her what she wants then she should free the Muslim dude. 1 Like |

striktlymi: @ bold; I can tell that you are a very local man. In western and developed countries, there is something called customer service. You can not refuse a customer service that he or she is entitled to, especially with flimsy reasons. The customer is king. A big company can not maltreat the customer. If your company is a store that sells foodstuff, wine and groceries, you can not refuse a customer such a service based on religious grounds. As you can see, the woman customer got an apology from the company. Please, travel out and learn if you can 4 Likes |

striktlymi:I don't think you know what are talking about. you're simply confused. Call a spade a spade, the Muslim guy erred. His action negate the policy of his organisation. The customer had the right of choice of whatever she could buy in that store. She less bothered about who's to serve her or what religion that person serves. The action of the Muslim guy was extreme and biased as far as Tesco is concerned. 3 Likes |

Burger01: How do you know that his action is against the company's policy? Your thoughts on that seems to suggest that you neither read nor understood the OP properly. A complaint was made to the manager who backed the Muslim dude. What does that suggests? The manager and the Muslim dude are both doing something against the company's policy? I think not! The fact that the Company seems to be very reluctant in dishing out punitive measures against the Muslim dude seems to suggest that the Muslim dude was given permission not to serve ham during this period. Like I said, both sides made a big deal out of nothing. This shouldn't have escalated if they had been a bit more understanding and the planning was right. 1 Like |

striktlymi:Ogbeni, you're still confused.. ....A spokesman for Tesco said: “We’re here to serve our customers the products they choose to buy. We don’t have a specific policy and take a pragmatic approach if a colleague raises concerns about a job they have been asked to do.... Now, what do you make of that... 2 Likes |
