...for religious reasons:

Sainsbury's cafe staff refused customer black pudding 'because chef was a Jehovah's Witness'
  • Alan MacKay claims he was forced to return home to eat his breakfast when the female chef's religious views blocked his plans have a full English fry-up

Supermarket giant Sainsbury's has been forced to apologise to a customer who was told he couldn't have black pudding with his full English breakfast because the chef was a Jehovah's Witness.

Alan MacKay had dropped his wife off at work when he popped into the store for a meal at 9am on Wednesday morning.


This usually doesn't happen, but it shouldn't have been allowed to happen.

I'm sorry, but if you can't cook the food, don't accept the job.

If a person has religious constraints about performing any part of thier job they shouldn't be in that career field. I think this is just a case of someone trying to find out what they could get away with.

Most religious people don't take the piss, but there is a minority that throw their weight around.

Well, yes.

It's the same with vegans refusing to cook meat, Hindus refusing to cook beef, Muslims refusing to cook pork.
