    Seems very odd that this post is calling a Muslim who doesn’t want to handle ham a small minded bigoted asshole. Isn’t forcing a Muslim to handle ham widely considered intolerant by the left leaning people? Help me out here.

      Muslim people aren’t forbidden from handling ham, in this scenario the Muslim person is refusing to sell you ham because they disagree with your decision to eat ham.

      If I recall correctly, coming into contact with pork products is against their rules. If it’s properly packaged, there’s no way they are coming into contact.

        Especially since employees are supposed to wear gloves at all times for hygiene reasons. If they’re following regulations, there’s basically no risk of skin to skin contact with any pork products 🤷
