Target employees refuse to sell pork products (Muslims)

[Nocturnal]

Same deal with the recent story about the cabbies refusing to carry liquor.


These guys need to figure out how it works here in the US. We already have to deal with a bunch of retarded Christians, we don’t need a group of retarded Muslims also.

“Welcome to America. Now get your ass to work, and keep your damn religion out of my big box store. Now please ring up my pork rinds.”


http://www.startribune.com/535/story/1052945.html

Target needs to act quickly on this one. As a business it's their right to be as accomodating as they want (provided that the customer is not discriminated against) but it's also the customer's right to get pissed at shitty service. No-pork lines just wouldn't work.

[YouEnjoyMyself]

That's so silly, and really badly timed.

You'd think Muslim groups would wait until extremist groups stop trying to kill us before they bitch.

Do your job completely, or don't take it. Part of working at a place like Target is handling all of the products. Sorry, if you don't want to do your job, don't take it.

[Ace Hippie]

The customer summed it up best when she said (paraphrasing) 'why take the job if you're going to be offended by touching pork products'. Stupidity at its worst.

[Cousin Eddie]

Ugh.... this shit infuriates me. :mad:

very very true!
and I want some booze with them pork rinds even if its before noon
on a fucking sunday!

Where are MY rights as a consumer?
All this "accommodating" PC bullshit has to stop.
YOUR rights end where mine begin. Out in public you will have to
deal with others that do not share your uptight beliefs.

TIME FOR A SECULAR UPRISING!

I'm with you dude!! Let's grab a beer.

[droogsteve]

It's ridiculous. If you can't do the ENTIRE job and all that it entails, then don't take the fucking job. I don't give a fuck what your excuse is. Let's look at another scenario.

A girl applies for a job selling ice cream sundaes in Dairy Queen. She has no problem doing the job....except for one small thing: She's deathly allergic to peanuts. She can't touch or handle them at all. The manager doing the interview scratches his head and says "Hmm, I think we have a problem, Miss. See, a lot of our customers like peanuts on their ice cream sundaes. How could you possibly do the job?"

She smiles and says "No problem! Every time a customer orders peanuts, I'll ask another employee to stop what he's doing, put the peanuts on the sundae, and hand it to the customer! Or I could just have the customer reach behind the counter and take his own peanuts!"

Does anyone here think she's going to be hired? Of course not. Common sense will prevail. The manager will politely explain that handling peanuts is part of the job, and since she can't handle peanuts, she can't have the job. He's not saying that her condition makes her a bad worker or bad person, but Dairy Queen is a business after all, and there are certain things that are required to do the job. Including handling peanuts. He'll probably also point out that there are many, many jobs that DON'T require handling peanuts, and gently suggest that she try one of those.

Unfortunately, where religion is involved, especially Islam, common sense goes right out the window. The Islamic apologists are already spewing their nonsense:

"Many of these people are refugees. They may have been tortured. And they came here having never held a book in English," he said. "They're already adapting to our society. We need to adapt to them, too."

Bull fucking shit. We are under no obligation to indulge any of their third world religious bullshit. If you don't like it, tough shit. And I'm not just picking on Islam, although they do seem to be making a concerted effort to change our society to suit their religion. But it goes for other religions as well. If you're a Mormon and you're offended by porn, that's your business. But don't take a job in a convenience store and then refuse to hand a customer with hard earned cash his copy of Hustler magazine. If someone is a devout pacifist, I doubt they'd take a job in a sporting goods store where they'd be expected to sell guns, don't you? And if pork offends you that much, then don't work in an American supermarket. If you don't like it, fuck you and fuck Allah.

[Y2K_MASTER]

That is kind of dumb, in a grocery store you aren't serving the stuff to the people. The pork would most likely be wrapped so you wouldn't be physically touching it either. If you're a waitress or something, you can just ask another waiter to serve the booze for you, but you can't go "hey, can you can type this pork rind in for me, I can't sell it" in a grocery store.

[rand0m]

If your afraid of hights you dont become a window cleaner ... plain and simple.

[jonnykill]

Fire every single one of them and ship them back to thier countries , where ever they came from so they don't have to suffer the apparent horrible job of selling pork products. Fucking idiots.

[Cur67]

"We need to adapt to them, too."
Ty Droogsteve, highlighting that points out some very flawed thinking.

"If your afraid of hights you dont become a window cleaner ... plain and simple."
ty Random, but that's too utterly true to ever catch on.

PC bullshit is rampant and tearing down our society.
Not every special need can be met and accommodated.
What are we going to do?
vote? for who?
protest? pfft
boycott? hmm maybe
ALL religions bow before the Almighty Dollar.

[bergshadow]

There are a lot of jobs that people with this or that religious belief can't do.

Fortunately, there are lots of other jobs - so no one has to starve for their religion, thanks be to Allah the Merciful.

[Spike Lee]

I'd be laughing if they were born in the USA.

[rand0m]

Why the fuck are they in this country anyway, do they realise we have pigs here?

Why the fuck do they walk our streets, do they realise they where made by people that eat pork?

Why the fuck do they breath the air? Don't they realise the air particles have probably made contact with a pig?

pfft, i bet their too busy oppressing females and supporting terrorism.

Their religion tells them to not EAT pork, that doesnt mean they cant fucking touch it or give it to someone.

I only hope that the outrage against the odd muslim customs will be remembered during the next bout of Secular vs Christian commotion.

It's a bit more subtle because we all grew up with the Christian beliefs. Liqour on sundays, nudity on TV, etc.

Id tell her to wear latex gloves, be sure to use the scoop, and she is hired. Solutions, people.

If your afraid of hights you dont become a window cleaner ... plain and simple.

Window cleaners have to work almost exclusively with heights. A Muslim employee at Target can simply work in an area other than snacks.

[Henkie]

I don't know what a Target is (don't have 'em over here) but if pork is traditionally sold there, handling it is a part of the job of a cashier. I can understand she doesn't want to handle it, but if so, she shouldn't have that job. It's basically a choice between her principles and her job.

[Devastation]

Nonsense! We need to accomodate these people like we do all the criminals that jump the border! Let's give them driver's licenses and add Arabic lettering to all signs! Also, we must have Arabic cable programming in place, and all meat served anywhere must be halal!

[snyderman]

... and all meat served anywhere must be halal!

What wrong with that? I would rather eat meat that is kosher or halal than the product of soulless, careless, mass killing by employees that care more about break time then quality.

[Devastation]

Nothing, if you're a terrorist/zionist.

But seriously, it's not about what you'd rather eat. It's about what I'd rather eat. I'm not Muslim or Jewish, so I don't feel the need to do a special celebration for each animal I cruelly slaughter. In fact, I'd rather just get it over with than point them to the East and make them pray.

[Nocturnal]

Said person could be staffed in the clothing section or something, but it doesn't work for cashiers.

What's with the muslims in Minnesota? People like to get all fired up about these things, but it seems like they are way out of the norm. Touching pork products or carry liqour doesn't even seem to be against the rules (in most sects anyway).

[Y2K_MASTER]

RULES FOR HALAL SLAUGHTER

A slaughterman with the aforementioned qualities must invoke the name of Allah upon the animal to be slaughtered prior to slaughter by reciting “Bismillahi Allahu Akbar” or at the very least recite “Bismillah”
He must immediately slaughter the animal after the recital without any significant delay.
The knife used for slaughtering must be extremely sharp so that the animal suffers minimal agony and that the slaughter takes place efficiently and easily.
At the time of slaughter all of the following arteries should be cut:
a) trachea (windpipe) b) esophagus (gullet) c) both jugular veins;

In the event of all four arteries not being possible to cut, at least three of the mentioned four arteries must be cut. If less than three arteries were to be cut, the animal will not be rendered as halal.

The cut must be conducted manually (i.e. by hand) and carried out swiftly. The knife must not be lifted before the cut is complete and the cut must be below the Adam’s apple.
It is heavily advised that the neck should neither be cut off completely nor broken, thus avoiding the severance of the spinal cord.

Where's the part of the special celebration and forcing the animal to pray?

[Kazimierz]

Fire 'em.

If they can't accomodate their religion to their job, they can find another, instead of trying to make the job accomodate them. Same as the pharmacists who wouldn't give out abortion pills.

It should have crossed their fucking minds that they might handle pork when working at a supermarket, and should have either asked to be placed in a position that does not have the possibility of contact, or looked for a different job.

[Knoodle]

This reminds me of those pharmacists who refuse to sell birth control meds on religious grounds. Guess what, you're in the wrong line of work kiddo. Learn to drive a truck or flip hamburgers if your personal beliefs are so strong.

As for forcing the animal to pray, that was a joke. I know it is impossible to force an animal to pray without the right equipment.

But that's not the point. If you want to eat Halal meat, good for you, go do it. I myself, not being Muslim, but an Odinist, do not require my meat to be prepared in such a fashion, and it would make me uncomfortable to eat said meat.

[bergshadow]

What's with the muslims in Minnesota? We've acquired a lot of them, whole neighborhoods, almost overnight, and in the mix are some of the more political kinds.

Maybe the political ones are getting frustrated with the local passive-aggressive annulment of pet causes. They try to make trouble, and it just turns into people shrugging at them - and making them fill out extra forms fro their cab licenses, etc. Which means they can try again, without getting beat up, as well.

RULES FOR HALAL SLAUGHTER I was fortunate enough to witness one of the earlier attempts to acquire halal beef, from an employer at the time who raised cattle. The arrangements were made by phone, and when the guys turned up at the farm everyone discovered that the rules were better designed for the considerably smaller and tamer animals of their home countries.

They compromised: Al shot the animal in the head, and the main guy slit its throat quickly before it died.

Since then, btw, the Jewish and Muslim folks have found a common cause - kosher isn't that far from halal - and a local Hmong butcher has put a rabbi and an imam or whatever is necessary on retainer, and learned the appropriate routines. Modern times, mon.

Here are a few excerpts:

------------------------------------------

Maybe we should build a fence of bacon around the country
to keep the pricks out.


------------------------------------------

I never stop laughing at the inferior infidels as we cause them anger as we slowly take over their land. And you are so ignorant you don't even see it happening. Seriously, you don't deserve
a country.

------------------------------------------

Are you kidding me? They should be fired on the spot. Clearly they are incapable of performing their duties and should be relieved of such... actually they should never have applied to be a cashier
if they can't handle pork.

-----------------------------------------

If I were to refuse to do business with Muslims I'd be a racist, but they can refuse to drive me in a cab or make me wait to ring up my pork products. I'd probably even get sued.

If I were to move to a Muslim dominated country would I be able to observe all of my beliefs
however I wanted and in public?
I doubt it.

------------------------------------------

Thanks to all of you that donate to the churchs and brought these folks here in the first place. Now your complaining about these people. Many times I am on flights that have people coming from other countries with sponsers waiting at the airport, like Lutheren Brotherhood. You get what you pay for and now you
have something to complain about.
Keep up the social system Minnesota!!
Looks like its working fine!

-------------------------------------------

I am so sick of this. People need to get a grip on reality! If you have a job, you do the job. If you can't do the job, find another job. I don't care what your race, religion, fath, belief, cause etc. is, just to the job you were hired to do.

-------------------------------------------

P.S. Minn is a 'Flaming Liberal City', one of the posters even said that and was quite proud of the fact. Even she, was pissed off over this horseshit!


BTW: These folks are 'Somali Muslim Refugees', so, go figure.

You would? Even with her health risk? Fine. Then I'm sure you'd tell the Muslim who's afraid to handle pork to wear gloves or use a pair of tongs to pick up the pork. If not, she's fired.


Agree?

Yeah, that's what I thought....:rolleyes:


Solutions, people.

Solutions to what? People who subscribe to medieval superstitions demanding that we accommodate them? The solution is a big "fuck you, this is America."

On second thought, let's be "sensitive". I'm thinking about joining the Church of Christian Identity and the Creator, and I demand you accommodate my religion. You might know us better as the Aryan Nation. I work in Target. And what offends MY religious beliefs are women in Hajibs. Now, I'll do my job like everyone else, but when one of these evil devil women come to my register, I'll just have someone else ring them up.

No problem, right?

Looks like its working fine!" So far, it's been no big deal - except the lefty neighborhood that downtown dumped a few thousand refugees in was hurt, but that's standard conservative government ghettoization practice.

The money boys have been trying to kill that neighborhood for years.

The church group Somalis piling up in MN was a consequence of the breakdown of the social system: it's part of what happens when faith-based charity takes over from gutted government services and missing community organizations. They have good intentions, but they can't manage, y'know?

[Cur67]

I would assume this girl is not here on work release, so she willfully applied. Knowing the risks. I made the risk as minimal as possible. If she is deathly allergic, I bet she'll be careful around the p-nutz.

I am so cool, I actually work at Target. Very few employees there are full cashiers. Most work in other depts, and come to help cashier when needed. Have the Muslims work in a dept that doesnt handle pork. Just like employees under 18 cant ring out alcohol, make the same deal for Muslims and pork, if you must.

Not at all! We dont discriminate here. Im sure you will understand that we have customers shopping here who wear Hajibs, and we are about guest service, so you can work in the back room. They make more, anyway. When can you start?

So, if I'm following this, pork-abhorrence entitles one to a higher paying job at Target, with fewer duties (such as helping out at the registers).

It would've been easier to just come out and say that you hate Moslems.

Maybe they'd feel more at home working in a Kosher grocery store.

[Systemofa Noun]

This is just another example of how extreme muslims are pushing towards a more Islamic tolerant society here in America. They want America to be completely Islamic and adhere to it's beliefs, customs, etc. Keep in mind who you vote for, they just might be bowing down to them for votes in exchange for our rights, and freedoms.

[droogsteve]

I would assume this girl is not here on work release, so she willfully applied. Knowing the risks.

Just as the Muslim who applied knew that handling pork is part of the job. She knowingly took that job, therefore she can't bitch when she has to handle pork.

Just like employees under 18 cant ring out alcohol, make the same deal for Muslims and pork, if you must.

Apples and oranges. That is state law, not some religious nut refusing to do their job.


Not at all! We dont discriminate here. Im sure you will understand that we have customers shopping here who wear Hajibs, and we are about guest service, so you can work in the back room. They make more, anyway.

The higher paying backroom suggestion (obviously anyone can apply for that) was for Droog, if he joined a church that stipulated he cannot even talk to people in Muslim gear.

Easy solutions abound here, Im surprised so much hate is going on.

Yes, there is an easy solution and we've both suggested it: That they not take a job where they have to handle pork. That means that they can't work as cashiers. Here's where we part company. I suggest that they be fired. You suggest that they be rewarded for refusing to do they were hired to do by being given a different, higher paying job. That's a ridiculous solution. It's an unfair back door to a better position. Soon cashiers who DON'T refuse to do their job will be unable to advance to the higher paying positions because they've all been filled by the pork-phobic.

You're rewarding employee insubordination and punishing obedience. Great manager you are.

It's bullshit. If they want to work a job where they don't have to handle pork, that's great, more power to them. Let them file an application for that position like everyone else. You're missing the entire point of the thread. They were hired as CASHIERS. They knowingly applied for a cashier position and knowingly accepted a cashier position. Now they refuse to do part of their job. For that, they should be fired, not rewarded.

[Systemofa Noun]

Easy solutions abound here, Im surprised so much hate is going on.

It's really old now when people who express their opinions on such matters as these are automatically accused of being haters. No hate is going on. Stop with the stupid political correctness.

Not hate, (at least not by everyone) just principles of fairness. Our society is based on people doing their jobs, if they can't or won't do them they should find something else. Giving muslims a special no pork job... ok well how about the PA target stores, no electronics aisles for the Amish? No bible aisles for my fellow Atheists? No porn or devil costumes for the Christians?

I don't hate them for their anti-pork beliefs, but if they can't deal with it then they need to find work elsewhere.

Muslims in England have even stated that this is their intention. Little by little.... they are destroying that country from within. We are next.


back on topic.... I remember when I had my first job...this one christian kid got to work saturday evening at walmart instead of saturday day because he & his family went to church at that time. Working saturday day was the worst shift there was. We NORMAL workers got stuck with the shit shift. :mad:

Makes no sense to me. It's very tinfoil hat-ish to think that a handful of malcontents really represents a large movement to do anything. "the muslims are goint to convert us"... seriously? "They" (as if there were a "they" in this sense) can't even stop selling pork rinds without a big commotion.

Quite true. But, on the other hand, there WAS a big commotion over this BS, instead of the Manager taking them in the office and letting them go for failure to do the job they were hired for.

Oh, ya, I'm betting they are STILL employed. So, I'd say they did win.

Jeezus. Im getting dogpiled on, so I hafta just respond to the last. Ill do the rest if I have time, but I keep having to ring out pork rinds for these damn ragheads. :raiseeyeb

Anyhoo, Im not rewarding, Im simply giving them responsibility over a different part of the store, a lateral move.

Unlike Wal-mart, there are very few SuperTargets. Without a meat dept, there are not a whole lot of pork products to cause a problem. I dont even think we sell rinds at my store.

However, if said employees work at a SuperTarget, wont do anything except cashier, and did not mention their beliefs during the hiring process, then yes...I guess they hafta go.

[Nocturnal]

Please, Noc, if those were employees happened to be Christian instead of Muslim, you would be bitching about how christians are trying to convert your country and laws to christianity.

A. My country is already in the hands of crazy christians.

B. No I wouldn't.

C. The idea that we are facing some huge organized wave of muslims trying to convert our nation is just stupid. That might have a shred of possibility if any of these changes actually happened. We can discuss this further when target gives Muslim cashiers there own checkout line. Until then I suggest the tinfoil hats should stay on.

"First they won't sell you pork rinds.... then they will make you pray to allah". :rollseyes Please.

Also the "you wouldn't care if it was XXX" rhetoric is getting pretty old around here.

Here in Holland we've been having a big discussion about the conflicts between ethics and jobs (in ours case Christians civil servants refusing to allow gays to marry) and that made me think, because I was pretty torn on the subject. Some of people made references to WW2 about civil servants who ignored their own ethics and deported jews and stuff like that. I came to my own conclusion: everybody finding themselves in a similar conflict should ask themselves: "is it worth it to lose my job over it?" If not, the objections aren't all that big, if it is, you should quit.

godamn muslims

I have two things to say about this. The first is she let them know about the pork issue when she applied, which I guess wasn't important enough to write about :rolleyes:

The other thing is why the fuck is this on the front page of a newspaper? Why the hell is this whole media charade focusing on such an insignificant issue? How many thousands of Muslims work at groceries and supermarkets sell pork and alcohol (which actually isn't prohibited seeing as how they are not physically touching it).

Oh no some Muslim lady from a recent immigrant group refused to touch pork, its the end of the world!! The funny thing is two Somali women were killed recently and no one even gave a damn let alone the front page...

So some teenager refused to touch the pork, the store manager should have spoken to her about it instead of calling up every newspaper in town.

Across the street from me theres some Arab dude who works at a gas station and I've never had any problem with him.

Edit: I forgot to mention that the two Somali ladies were killed by a drunk driver yet theres not a peep out of the media, go figuere

Hello all

i am a muslim. i do not have a grudge against any relegion, chritians or jews or anything else.

if a muslim refuses to sell pork it is because a muslim has been thought that pork carry illness to humans. a muslim would not present somthing that contriputes illness to another human.

check out the web for more information if you do not belive!

same with alchol drinks and smoks.

we all have to be tollerant to each other. not call eachother retarded.

just wanted to say that...

99% of us here have nothing against Muslims. We do get tired of, however, how some Muslims expect us to cater to them.

That's all well and good. However, would you work somewhere that you were expected to sell these products you are against, and instead expect the company to change to meet your standards, or would you instead opt to find different employment that wouldn't require you to do something against your principles and make others change to meet your desires? If you are a reasonable person, you'd make the latter choice.
