Yes of course you could have a non-alchol isle but I don;t think
that's a good idea.

I think that means she can't do tills. Or shelf stacking. Which limits
her options somewhat. I think she's silly, but there you go. It's a long
way between getting pork juice on your hands and touching a glass/metal
object that happens to contain alcohol. Especially when sufi muslims
don't seem to bothered about beer at least (I know a sufi guy - he
drinks beer but not spirits).

I personally am very happy to draw the line there because it's gone from
"no real hassle to accomodate" to PITA.

This is why I compared a supermarket with a butcher. The latter
cannot accommodate anti-porcine wishes without changing their
entire practise. A supermarket can trivially say "OK, you can do
shelf, tills and veg".

it can but when on the tills you might have to handle the meat that's
in bags. If teh supwermarket allows vegitarians not to shel;f meat
and vegans not to touch what they don;t want to fine. But these
things are all just beliefs. Anyone can have beliefs.

I've not met any vegetarians (change of word intentional) that
physically won't handle meat - might be some, but if so, they are
definitely rare.


If there is such a job. I doubt the companies that clean windows have
two sets of employeees one for ground floor and then everyone else.

If the company is nowt but a window cleaner, maybe. But the company
might well handle other cleaning. It's the butcher vs supermarket thing
again.


I'm not so sure it is a balance. Yopu set laws a rules for those
that are inhabiting the country rather than for teh benifit of
those that don't.


All I;m saying is I have no problems with low cost accommodations
-

Are you refering to those that are renting out garden sheds as houses
?

No I mean "it is no real effort to accomodate their wishes"

it's when people want to change everything it becomes untenable.

It's happening with halal meat, nothing wrong with that until you
suspect or realsie the reason halal meat is being sold isn't really
down to religion but cost. You don't need all the checks in place for
the non cruelty of animals and you'll find of allowed, the hygena
also suffers. Some halal butchers are fine and are clean while others
leave a lot to be desired and I bet they ARE breaking the law.
