Ot could be argued that ALDI is a caring employer that takes account of the wishes of staff. As long as ALDI feels it can accommodate requests whether it be for dispensation from serving alcohol, parental leave, part time requests, or by employing people with disabilities who may not be able to work as fast but otherwise do an excellent job then that's up to them. If the service suffers and customers are unhappy then they may have to rethink

Unlike being a Muslim, being disabled is not a choice, so it hardly compares in bolstering your argument here does it?

I don't see it matters , andy - I wasn't saying choice was an issue- clearly it isn't for disability. I'm saying how ASDA uses it's staff is an issue for them. If we don't like their service or think they are bowing to pressure then sure, it's fine to go elswhere. I assume ALDi feel on balance they can accommodate this employee and feel that is in their interests to do so rather than have an unhappy employee or a leaver who may in other respects be a great employee.
But as I intimated before, if it were my store I wouldn't agree to such a request unless I could be sure it wouldn't cause resentment among other staff, cause a precedent for other requests such as not selling sugary drinks or reduce my ability to deploy staff effectively at peak times and affect service

Looking at it now it was probably a constructed business decision as yes they might have angered a few alkies who will no doubt come back for their knock down booze but now they've advertised that they're very muslim friendly so now will probably have hoards of muslims who previously kept away now voting aldi with their pound notes. Very clever psychological marketing when you see what they've done there.

Yes it could be argued thus. But it should not have to be. Alcoholic beverages are part and parcel of life in the UK. Anybody working in the hospitality trade or much of the retail trade should expect to have to handle it. If Muslims have such sensitive proclivities that they cannot put a bottle of gin through a till then a job at Aldi (and possibly a life in the UK) is not for them.
I’m with TWR on this one. If Aldi wants to fanny its customers about by pandering to these ridiculous ideas then they deserve to lose customers.
