What I don't get is if this person objects to selling an object to someone, why work there? Why work there, and refuse to sell certain goods? That's the stupidity of it all. Regligion or no religion. Do you often get many Catholics working in abortion clinics and then refusing to book in patients? If they really want nothing to do with Bible story books that it shouldn't be unreasonable for them to work somewhere that doesn't have Bible story books surely?
Its not really been an issue for me though. I shop in Tescos in Edmonton which has a fair chunk of Muslim employees. Every one so far has sold me alcohol, sausages and bacon, even going so far as to touch the packaging.

Because that's what she's paid for? She's not forced to work there.
