Re: M&S tells Muslim staff they CAN refuse to serve customers buying alcohol or pork

Here's a bit from the Independent on the same story....

An M&S spokesperson told the Telegraph: “We recognise that some of our employees practise religions that restrict the food or drink they can handle, or that mean they cannot work at certain times.

“M&S promotes an environment free from discrimination and so, where specific requests are made, we will always make reasonable adjustments to accommodate them, whilst ensuring high levels of customer service.”

The spokesperson said their 700 stores operated on a policy of tolerance, which was nonetheless applied on a case-by-case basis. He said it included allowing Christians not to work Sundays and Jews the same for Saturdays, for instance.
