For Pompski: What Katie Hopkins wrote next...

Did the cashier serve anyone that day or any other day during Ramadan, I would have thought that it would be impossible for a Tesco cashier to avoid food or drink whilst serving on a till. If religious belief restrict your ability to carry out your duties then you should not be employed in that position, nor seek employment in such a job where your religious beliefs are contradictory to your ability to carry out your paid duties.

I assumed it was more to do with the ham and wine, rather than food and drink in general... (Not that those items are rarely purchased at a till, perhaps he was one of those people called onto the till when it's busy, and so would usually easily avoid said items, if say he usually stacked beans and chocolate?)

I still cringe.
I was approaching the till area at Waitrose, Southsea, pork steaks in hand. Only one till available. Muslim young Lady. I dithered, Looked to go elsewhere ( I had been drinking ) The young Lady just called out to me.

" Sir, I can serve it to you. I'm just not allowed to eat it. Please stop holding up the queue "

Made me look like a right pretentious prat.

Who, the Hopkins woman? No, it's been reported elsewhere.

If you meant the Tesco customer, then presumably not as Tesco have apologised.
