Yes, but that leaves the customer she / he had with what ? more searching for a employee that can, maybe, depending on product, help.

Sorry but I still say, if ya can't do the job, ya shouldn't be there.

Mrs Friday was so upset that she has now complained to the store's manager.
Politicians and religious leaders supported her in condemning the high street chain and it has reignited the debate over religious beliefs in the workplace.
Conservative MP Philip Davies said the refusal to serve Mrs Friday, 69, was "unacceptable" and "damaging" to community relations.
Inayat Bunglawala, assistant secretary-general of the Muslim Council of Britain, described the assistant's comments as "offensive" and called for Marks & Spencer to conduct an investigation.
He said: "This appears to be a very regrettable incident and the 'unclean' remark was clearly very offensive and unacceptable.
"Many Biblical stories complement the teachings of the Koran. We hope that M&S will investigate this incident."

Did I read this right, the quotes from the secretary-general of the Muslim Council of Britain are slapping the sales assistant and saying the bible is ok
