Invariably it turns molehills into mountains. The customer does not have the right to be sold a bag of chips and the clerk does not have the right to a job. Call me heartless but in my opinion, this "dispute" deserves no more attention than if the customer did not have enough money or if the clerk did not show up to work. It really is none of our business sort of like two neighbors disputing what type of fence to erect on a shared property line is none of our business. from the article: <i>The president of the university’s Pro-Israel Terrapin Alliance opined, “The arrangement we worked out, while not ideal, is a reasonable accommodation. I would not want to force anyone to act against their own political beliefs.”</i> A reasonable accomodation?? Are the politics of Quebec spreading? I hate hearing about discrimination.
