Did anyone else read the muslim times link and some of the comments on it?
It's comments like that, from people like that, that are causing the divide. They really aren't doing themselves any favours and if some troublesome types like the EDL or BNP see it then there is just a bit more propaganda for them to use.

Judaism forbids eating pork as well, what about their right to refuse service?

and therein lies the irony of the whole situation: customers will discriminate against some staff along racial lines, avoiding their queue, because they think they might refuse to serve them.

It's not the same at all. It might be a case of queuing elsewhere, but certainly not the same situation.

I would just request that the manager finishes serving me or just walk out with everything left on the belt

If I am vegetarian can I refuse to serve anyone at the till who buys meat? How far exactly can you take this concept.

Listen to me!!!
I would probably choose the most muslim looking cashier, go to the till with loadsa pork and alcohol and let the argument begin

You can if you work for M&S.
Is it any different from exercising the right to not serve someone you don't wish to serve?

Actually Islam forbids credit. Can they therefore refuse to accept a credit card when you pay?
If not, what is the difference?

Don't understand why any religion attracts civil rights - that's all religions.
The M&S case however is not a matter of rights but a commercial decision. If they insisted that all staff serve all customers all goods then this would likely cost them either in terms of loss of sales or loss of staff.
A number of shops employ under 18s who cannot sell alcohol.

Listen to me!!!
Why
Why not. I, as a customer can choose any free till I want. Why should I have to queue longer because of what I choose to purchase. I would not start the argument - they would if they refused to serve me, and it would be very interesting to hear their reasons ( seeing that muslims are not forbidden to sell the items in question ) .
You should learn to.

Don't understand why anyone would deliberately set out to provoke a confrontation. The result would only likely be that you would be prevented from buying anything from M&S.
Your argument could just as easily be applied to going to the "6 or less items" with 10 items then arguing that you see no reason why you should queue longer just because of the goods you bought, after all the cashier is not forbidden from selling more than 6 items - puerile argument!
A right wing punter? Just a normal member of society.

That's quite sad. I know that is rich, coming from me, but still...
