176. It's absolutely not the same.

1) The pharmacist is controlling the purchasing ability of a customer. These cashiers are not, they simply swap out for another cashier to handle the material in question. If you can't grasp the difference between "I refuse to sell you this medicine" and "let me get someone else to ring up your beer" then I hate to say it, but you must be a very stupid fucking person.

2) This is an arrangement arrived between the store and its employees. If it offends you so much that the owner of the store has made this accommodation for his employees, then you are free to decide to not shop there. You don't get to pound your chest and scream to the heavens about what these employees should or should not do or think or ask for because, because it's not your call to make. You are simply not involved.

3) Think for a moment what it means that you are so outraged, so angry that an employer has decided to respect their employees wishes for an allowance to get another employee to ring up an item for them. What a trivial thing for you to be upset about - especially when we realize that holy shit, you live in the US and this franchise is in the motherfucking UK so what does it fucking matter to you ANYWAY.

So just a tally.

- Your initial argument is not even remotely based in reality. It is nonsensical hyperbolic scare-mongering, in fact. In which you try to compare birth control to a pork chop, and fail.
- You're angry that employees received a small accommodation they asked from their employer. The bastards!
- Even though you are not the employer, not the employee, nor even a customer.
- All while of course preaching what these people should think and feel and once again slipping into some hyperbolic nonsense about "tainted paychecks."
- and yet you feel entitled to demand that the employees "correct their attitudes."

I think that in your attempt to refute the point I made, you actually only ended up bolstering it.
