Religious beliefs! Pork next? Good for them. Don't get the middle class Brownlee brothers on their adverts! an opportunity for this supermarket to be bold and focus on minority groups which represents their customer base. A Muslim family be great take note other supermarket chains. |  |

That's not the point though. My point is companies aren't legally allowed to discriminate against customers. Irrelevant if the company are happy with it or not. As in the case of hotel owners who didn't want gay couples staying and were prosecuted as a result. Surely this is similar, obviously there are differences but I think it's appalling that a company has staff that won't serve its customers due to religious reasons. |
Who's been discriminated against? |  |

Ok. Point taken, but what I mean , is why work somewhere, where you can't fulfill your duties. |
Which I agree with, although as Lisa and I have both alluded to, we don't know it was part of her job when she took on the role.
That wasn't what I was referring to when I said you had gone too far. |  | | |

Well she should have told Aldi that she can't serve on the tills and she could have gone back to doing whatever she normally does. | | | |

I'm surprised you'll shop in a German supermarket in the first place. |
I want to buy British...but the German shop has more choice. My old German gran use to call this decision "my struggle"....It sounded better in German though. |  |

losing the argument you are , so play the race card  |
Why am I losing the argument Yoda?
I've said it's nonsense, I've said if she's in breach of contract Aldi can take action. All I've said is it's not discrimination, because it's not. That's just a fact. | | | |

It's not about discrimination, more a case of the way things are done in this country. | | | |

From what I've seen, which is the original photo, it is a Somali lad with a notice saying he can't sell alcohol but no reason is stated. He appears to be under 18.
Unless aldi have said otherwise it has nothing to do with religion. | | | |

All of us.
It's part of what makes us British to be able to buy cheap French And Italian booze in a German supermarket at any bloody till we want to. And if people don't like it, they can sod off to Saudi Arabia.
Or something. | | | |

I was asking the poster who references discrimination. Although you did say upthread something about discrimination against the British way of life, which scaled the heights of stupid. | |

It's only stuff designed to make you intoxicated (even if it doesn't), that is not allowed.
Mouthwash etc is fine as it's not designed to make you intoxicated. |
What about tablets that may cause drowsiness? |  |

Lol.
Actually that's a good point. One of the tills in my supermarket this week couldn't serve alcohol as the girl was under age. I didn't even think of that in this case. | | | |

It just seems strange that a Muslim won't sell Alcohol in the UK where it is legal to sell and buy alcohol yet I have been served Alcohol by Muslims in Muslims countries, Egypt and Maldives where it is supposed to be banned. | |

It's quite bizarre that someone would refuse to sell alcohol because of religious beliefs but doesn't mind taking home their wages at the end of the week from a store that makes part of its money from selling alcohol. |  |

Aldi's tweets about the issue said something about them looking to accommodate if staff members have concerns about aspects of their job. I don't think age was an issue in this case, they'd have said if it was. And we wouldn't have the latest in a seemingly endless round of "it's Political Correctness GONE MAD!!" threads. | |

The Germans are not a different race.
You quite clearly brought up our 'British way of life', hence my response in kind.
And the snowflakes are the ones who are outraged by someone not serving alcohol. Not me. | | | |

Well the idea you have to go and get served by someone else , when buying something perfectly legal, because someone doesn't want to serve a particular product in 2017 is absolutely staggering.
I actually pity the Aldi employee. | | | |
