(27,670 posts)If an employee doesn't want to sell the products that their employer sells to her/his customers, customers who want and/or need them, then they should just go find another job, or better yet, not even consider applying at an establishment where they expect everyone else to change just to suit their religious beliefs. Why don't they just apply for jobs where they won't needlessly inconvenience others with their own special religious needs? I don't get it.
Job Search 101:
*If you don't want to sell birth control medication or birth control devices because it is against your beliefs, then don't apply for a job in a pharmacy
*If you are a vegan, and don't want to handle meat, then don't apply for a job flipping burgers at the Burger Emporium*
*If you don't want to sell pork because it is against your beliefs, then don't apply for a job in a butcher shop*
*If you don't want to sell beer because it is against your beliefs, then for cryin' out friggin' loud, don't apply for a job as a bartender.*
Example:
Customer: "Hey bartender, can I please get a beer?"
Pseudo-bartender: "No, sorry, I can't sell you beer, it's against my religion."
Customer: "WTF? lol. Are you kidding me? OK. I'll go down the street with my business."
Ya know? Isn't that not reasonable, like, just plain old fashioned simple common sense?
