146. I don't see how selling products that a store has for sale, is not an essential part

of working in a store that sells those products.

I agree about reasonable accomodation; if they can be transferred to, say, the mail room or the shopping cart return area or some part of the store where there is no chance they'll come into contact with the forbidden item, sure.

But if it's such a prohibition, they shouldn't be working in a facility that has anything to do with those items.

I am reminded of the taxi drivers at the Vegas airport, who were refusing to drive people who had alcohol in their luggage.

Or the taxi driver in Portland who left the Lesbian couple on the side of the freeway because of the unacceptable nature of their "lifestyle".

I'm sorry, but people who have JOBS need to deal with the fact that they can't impose their shit on the entire world.

Unfortunately this planet is full of authoritarian control freaks who wake up in the morning with no other agenda than to tell everyone else how to live their lives.
