If A Christian Couple Can Be Fined For Refusing To Sell Something They Believe Is Against Their Religion Then Why No Action Against This Person?

OK, so IMHO religion is the root of most evil but lets forget that bit because what I am trying to understand is why there seems to be one rule for one and another for a certain other religion we all have to bend ovcer backwards to accommodate?

I think everything's been said. I believe the facts are:
1. Tescos have a ridiculously all encompassing HR policy.
2. They allowed a Muslim woman to be employed who didn't want to handle alcohol and agreed that she would be somaccomdated.
3. Tesco made a mistake in allowing her to work where it was a possibility that she would come into contact with alcohol.
4. She, quite rightly, (but possibly quite rudely?) refused to serve the customer.
5. Said customer was inconvenienced by a couple of minutes and agreed with point 3.
The rest is merely opinion. :-)

I think there is a fair chance that she was a bit flustered and said the wrong thing in the wrong way - we have all done it. She needs advice from tesco on how best to react to situations thrown at her. I am not sure the Mail report is helpful to our understanding- it's use of the word 'ordered' strikes me as something she was unlikely the word was deliberately chosen by the Mail to raise the heckles of its readers. I think the Mail is defending her but we may find they will quietly review some of their approaches to HR matters. I also doubt the girl will be promoted soon
//Do you have any evidence that she gave her religion as an excuse? //
Sigh... Ill give you a clue.... it's in the links and the press reports ( not just the Mail). You may decide to read what everyone else writes and posts one day, instead of just admiring your own prompts. I will (just this once) help you with a few lines from one of the various sites helpfully provided. To date the silly girl has not denied it, unlike some who are in complete denial. :))
//A father-of-three has hit out at Tesco after a Muslim shop assistant refused to sell him a bottle of wine due to her 'religious beliefs'.//

Thank you for pointing that out. I trust you didn't disagree with anything else in it if that was your only point. Or maybe the spelling mistake invalidated everything I said
//"Ill give you a clue".
Sorry if you're not feeling well. Maybe that accounts for the sighing.
For the record, I agree that it seems likely she gave her religion as a reason based on the Mail's report. Do you have a transcript of everything she said.? She would have been better off saying simply she needed someone else to help with the sale

Nope, not good enough Togo. So less of the condescension and a few FACTS please. You said she 'made a point' of using her religion. The report said she refused to sell the customer because of her religious beliefs. They are two entirely different things. The wording does NOT confirm that she said anything about her religion to the customer.
You really need to differentiate between what you perceive as facts and actual facts before getting on your high horse.
