A Walgreens employee refused to sell condoms to a couple on religious grounds

So again, if they don’t want to sell something that the company offers…

They aren't refusing to sell an item the company offers.

They are refusing to serve a customer which is their right.​

The customer isn’t the issue…the product is. If the customer wanted to purchase a bottle of soda…the same cashier would serve them with no issue. The cashier is not serving them because of the product that they intend to purchase. Thus they are refusing to sell a product that the company is offering.

Regardless of how you semantically want to play it…it is the job of the cashier to serve the Customer. If they don’t want to do that because of some issue with what the Customer intends to purchase…then find another job.

Like…what are we talking about here???

Why stop at religious beliefs?

Race, gender, height, method of payment, etc are all fair game for the slippery slope you are describing, like that one religious bakery who didn't wanna patronize a gay couple for religious purposes.

I see where your coming from, but as I said why should it be able to stop at 'religious beliefs'?

Get another cashier or get his Supervisor to ring it up.

Employees have the right to refuse service just as much as customers have the right to refuse patronizing an establishment.​

They shouldn’t, because it’s dumb as fukk. If you took the job knowing what they sell, sell it. There were issues with Muslims not wanting to sell alcohol and pork while working as cashiers and people hit them rightfully with the Walgreens needs a boycott of biblical proportions

The customer isn’t the issue…the product is.

No. The item isn't the issue. Sales associates/cashiers can refuse to serve customers for a variety of different reasons. This particular cashier refused to serve a customer.​

I wonder how a christofascist would feel if they were refused beef or pork at a fast food spot because of the cashier's faith?

It isn't about the items and cashiers can refuse to serve customers just as businesses can refuse to serve patrons.​

Give Amazon even more business

Basically

This particular cashier refused to serve a customer.

Because of the item that they intended to purchase…

That's what I figured. But i'm trying to figure out why its not discrimination to practice it?

Be a retarded zealot Walbrehs

Because of the item that they intended to purchase…

Because of their beliefs.​

 

[levitate]

Because of their beliefs.​

Yeah, and that’s the issue. If their beliefs are against the products that their company sells…then they should change the company that they work for. Instead of forcing their beliefs on the company and its Customers.

Because discrimination isn't absolutely wrong.​
