re: What do you think of Target, Costco surrendering to muslim sharia requests?

I'm fairly certain many places make allowances for Baptists and others on ringing up alcohol sales but if you want to see American Sharia that imposes itself upon others look no further than blue laws that create dry counties and/or severely limit the right to sell/purchase alcohol in a county or city (those originated and remain because of or protestant lobbying and have no other basis).

If you're from Louisiana you probably don't have the same strict blue laws and dry counties that affect those states with strong Baptist (and similar) protestant sects that imposed these laws, including prohibiting alcohol sales in counties as well as on Sundays. Jewish employees also don't have to work around certain meats and there are other religious based policies as employers wish to accommodate religious employes and avoid any violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits religious discrimination and requires accommodation so long as it doesn't put an undue burden on employers. Grocery stores and convenience stores, sell alcohol in many areas and employee 16 year olds unable by law to ring it up. Managers and other typically walk over and do so as it's no big deal to put your key in to ring up a single item.

IOW, we've been doing this level of accommodation for ages so I really see no problem with it. It doesn't burden anyone for someone to wear a scarf - my grandmother used to wear head scarves all the times as did Jackie O./Kennedy.

Did their stock rise because of it? if so, then frick yea!

Snopes is your friend

The point as I see it is that we are witnessing the decline of non-Chinese civilization and there's nothing we can do about it because 1) proof of our decline can't be proved via a syllogism, 2) most people wouldn't respond to a sound and valid syllogism anyway, and 3) solving many of our fundamental problems would necessitate violence and we're way too long gone pussified to consider it.

It's kind of frustrating watching a thing you love collapse and knowing that there's nothing you can do about it.

(Knowing that the main obstacle to being able to do something about it is that the majority of your fellow men have become soft sweet bitches is just the whipped cream on top of the lollipop).

So they aren't qualified to work the register move them to another dept or if nothing else is available based on their hours of availability and skill set let them go.
