re: #55 Targetpractice

Imagine if a major brand (Wal-Mart, Kroger, 7-11, etc) that sells food products announced that as of tomorrow, their cashiers would be permitted to pick and choose what they will sell customers based upon the cashier’s religious beliefs. Muslim cashiers could refuse to ring up that bottle of wine, while they and their Jewish coworkers could reject any pork products brought to the till, and any complaints are met with “We respect the religious views of our employees!” You would be able to hear the screams of outrage from the far-right from Mars.

I stopped at a small gas station in backcountry UT over 30 years ago and purchased a Mountain Dew. While I was there, the clerk received a very strong lecture how they shouldn’t even have that stuff stocked. At the time, I presumed the lecturer was a local Mormon elder.
