Muslim cashiers won’t ring up pork products

“She made me scan the bacon. Then she opened the bag and made me put it in the bag,” said Dsouza, 53. “It made me wonder why this person took a job as a cashier.”

Instead of swiping the items themselves, they are asking non-Muslim employees or shoppers to do it for them.
