The point I'm making is that if a Christian or Jewish person can be accommodated because of their religious beliefs, why can't a Muslim?
You say this:
Simply because those practising Christian or Jews are not employed on a Sunday, but if a Muslim is not prepared to handle certain goods on every day of the week, then they must be prepared not to be employed at all.
So this means that the owner of a business must alter his or her schedules to factor in those who refuse to work one day at the weekend, right?
They are still employed by the firm, but their personal circumstances are taken into consideration.
And remember, if a Muslim refuses to handle certain products, in a store as large as a supermarket, it's relatively easy to assign them tasks that mean they never have to come into contact with said products.
However, unless M&S have the ability to alter the Gregorian calendar, it will be impossible not to 'employ' Christians on Saturdays and Sundays. They can only schedule around those days.
Do you think that Christians should be refused jobs if they don't want to work on Sundays?
And do you think we should encourage companies who employ such Christians to sack them if the staff are unwilling to go to work on Sundays?

You asked:
How would a Muslim delivery driver know if Alcohol or Pork, were inside when delivering Xmas or Easter hampers.
They would not.
If they did, could they refuse to take on board and delivery?
Dunno - you'd have to check with whichever supermarket, food supplier, or catering company you're interested in. I don't think there is anyone on AB with sufficient knowledge of these industries or their practices to answer.
