Come on. There are billions of people worldwide who have religious prohibitions from pork. This is not a niche population. Can we really not take a quick moment to say, "Maybe we can help our Muslim and Jewish friends feel more comfortable"? Your solution is really, "No Muslims or Jews in restaurants" rather than "Hey, if needed, we can just ask Kevin to toss the bacon in the oven." |

That's hardly the point. The majority of Starbucks locations are in countries with tiny or non-existent Jewish/Muslim populations: U.S., China, Japan, Canada, etc. [1] In the United States, for example, only 3.5% of Americans are Jewish or Muslim. [2] Wanna bet that figure is far smaller in China?
What's more, this isn't a situation in which there are no alternatives. A person who doesn't want to handle pork has plenty of other employment options.
> "No Muslims or Jews in restaurants"
Seriously? I suggest that people who don't want to handle pork shouldn't apply for jobs where they'll handle pork, and you paraphrase me as "Ban Jews and Muslims from restaurants"???
Let me put it this way: do you think someone who doesn't want to handle pork should be accommodated at a pork processing plant?
