- A married woman was refused by a religious Walgreens employee from purchasing a box of condoms, saying that the sale goes against their religious beliefs. If that wasn’t startling enough, Walgreens sided with the employee, saying that there’s a company policy that protects employees from “completing a transaction to which they have a moral objection."

"A woman named Jessica Pentz has shared her story of an employee of a Walgreens drugstore refusing to sell her a box of condoms. The employee told her that selling condoms was against his religious beliefs.
In response, a Walgreens spokesperson said that its employees are allowed to “step away from completing a transaction to which they have a moral objection.” The company’s policy has troubling implications considering that the U.S. Supreme Court may soon reconsider its decision guaranteeing people’s rights to contraception.
While vacationing in Wisconsin with her husband, Pentz realized she left her oral contraceptives at home, she told the Star Tribune. So she visited a Walgreens store in the city of Hayward to purchase condoms.
When she arrived at the checkout register, a clerk named John told her, “I can’t sell those to you.” When she asked for clarification, the clerk allegedly replied, “We can sell that to you. But I will not, because of my faith.”"

Here’s the problem, how does a company side with the employee who refuses to sell their OWN product? That’s like a McDonalds worker refusing to sell McRibs because they are Hindu.
Christians like to pretend the Bible doesn't forbid pork, but it does. Unclean.
Could I say I won't make a ham sandwich if I were a Muslim at subway?
PREACH!!!!! 👏👏👏👏
McStupid.
@@mthrofallthngsfierce1728 You said it best!
It shouldn't matter if you're married or not to buy condoms. It's situations like this that will continue to escalate worse in the future.
I don’t even understand why ‘John’ won’t sell condoms. Oh wait, she was alone buying condoms. I wonder what he’s do if his daughter was a teen mom… beat her, send her to a home for lost girls. Then give the kid away…?? This world is so screwed up. People just need to care about each other and strangers
@@shadowban581 hmm..wonder…I wonder..
Wonder no more! He wouldn’t have said boo to a man
@@TheBL1216 Exactly. And that is the crux of it. They hate and judge women.
They only want married people who want to have sex only when they are trying to have a child. To them sex should never be used for anything else. I also heard you can only have sex in one position, missionary. We need to stop these freaks now
Its really a Handmaids Tale ...
If I were the manager I'd have fired him on the spot. Told him to get the F out of the store.
Walgreens has given permission to employees to refuse any sale that upsets their faith. So people STOP going to Walgreens.
No they haven't.....they simply are accommodating to all beliefs (as the law requires) and willing to make reasonable accommodations for employees. I will shop at walgreens more now. It may not be my belief but he has the right to have his own beliefs.
Married woman or unmarried woman, a person should not be subject to some clerk’s religion.
How is this not religious discrimination of a customer? Sounds like a civil rights field day for the right lawyer.
It is, it's just that it's happening in the midwest, whole other country over there.
good luck with that.
@Unbroken Believer
So, you like dictatorship, monarchies and authoritarianism better. We know. 🙄 by the way, Jesus was reborn and ascended, so he's king of jack shit.
@Unbroken Believer no such thing as jesus, angels, devils etc. superstitious nonsense it’s been disproved years ago. Religion was invented when the first fool met the first conman -
@Unbroken Believer wrong, Jesus tells you NOT to judge others when you are not free from sin. No human on Earth is free from sin. How convenient is it to ignore the teachings of God that is very clearly written in the Bible but to haphazardly interpret the Bible to judge the morality of a woman buying condoms.
This has nothing to do with her being married. The employer (Walgreens) needs to fire the employee that won't do their job.
Ana kept emphasizing that the woman was married, which is completely beside the point. It shouldn’t matter whether she’s married or not. Anyone who wants to buy condoms should be able to buy them, full stop. Nobody’s business AT ALL.
This story is not about religious freedom, but allowing personal feelings and opinions under the guise of religion to rampage over other peoples' rights.
Yep, religious freedom does not give you the right to refuse to do your job. There is a reason practicing Old Orders of Amish and Mennonites don’t work at Google.
Anna made it a story about religious freedom.
I mean there's plenty of examples in this country of people being selfish. However religion holds a special place because this is absolutely direction coming from churches across the country to carry out this acts on the job.
@@Furiends A church is a building. People regardless of religion carry out their fantasies in various ways. People don't need a god belief to act in nonbenevolent ways.
For thousands of YEARS.
It doesn't matter if the woman/girl was single or married. She is being proactive in protecting herself.
There's the rub though. These jerkoff zealots don't want that. They want everybody to live the same stick up their ass life that they live. Misery loves company.
if religious people want the rest of us to respect their beliefs then they have to stop using their beliefs to interfere with other people's lives.
I would say another necessary condition for respecting the beliefs of others is that they demonstrate that they actually live by those beliefs themselves.
Irishman here....if he,cashier, is so against selling contraceptives he shouldn't be in the same store as where they're sold,he should leave if his so-called "values"(sic) interfer with the sale of contraceptives sin é.
My gf raised a good point, how does this guy's moral system prevent him from selling contraception but says he's totally cool to take a paycheck from a company that offers contraception???
In my state the pharmacies like Walgreens and Riteaid sell beer. I bet the zealot really hates that too.
This happened to me at Winn Dixie in Florida. I walked all over the pharmacy and couldn't find any condoms. Naturally I asked an associate. The associate told me to hang on. I stood there for a moment confused, till the manager appears and starts giving me a lecture as if he was my pastor. I cussed him out and stormed out of there never to go back. Ill never forget that. I will never shop at any Winn Dixey again after that ordeal.
Damn. I'm glad I don't have one of those in my town.
I'd wreck his day
@@luna-p You and me both.
I had a winn dixie where i grew up in florida..
Had a publix, food lion, piggly wiggly and savalot....
How are stored like this still in business? I could see people getting fed up and burning places like this to the ground at might....
If I was the manager, I would have fired the cashier on the spot.
SC = Right to work state = can fire for any reason. I would have fired him also.
A lot of emphasis on the fact that the woman was married. Just a clarification: it shouldn't matter whether the couple was married or not. It's none of the clerk's business why a grown woman is buying condoms.
Precisely. You wrote it, so now I don’t have to. Thank you.
Is this what you wanted people on the right? Voted your right away. How goes things in your red states? Having fun yet? And it is only going to get worse.
the right wants christofacism and to force it on everyone else
The Reich wing don't care. As long as they get to control others, they're happy.
Because to them this is what will make a perfect world. Everyone living in a fascist Orwellian dystopia.
They’re so, so fragile.
Hooray they promoting the spread of diseases now oh wait they are already doing that with covid
💯
Unfortunately, things have gone from “ it’s against my religion, I can’t do that”, to “its against my religion, you can’t do that “.
Only for THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF YEARS 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Actually in this case this cashier is in the right. Yes it was against his religion and beliefs but he didn't insult or condem her for wanting to buy them. He found a reasonable and appropriate way to proceed with the purchase of the items she wanted. He respected her but still didn't give up his own moral values......on the other hand this Karen bigot of a customer for upset because she couldn't force the employee to sell her an item because and was upset and trying to force her beliefs on him. It's not a case of she didn't get the items because she did. Why is it so important to this Karen that this specific employee sell her these items?
Organized religion is about CONTROL. Nothing else.
Here is how we KNOW the fundamentalist nutbag gets off on control. The fundamentalist nutbag could have simply told the customer, "I need to get a manager". But no! The fundamentalist nutbag HAD to express THEIR personal feelings about a customer, WHO THEY DO NOT KNOW, purchasing condoms. The fundamentalist nutbag made a big deal about the purchase.
That is how we KNOW it is all about control. If the fundamentalist nutbag cannot literally stop a customer from purchasing condoms, they will attempt to SHAME customers for not being a part of whatever insane "religion" they practice. It's 100% about getting off on shame and judgement for the fundamentalist nutbag.
No he didnt. They still got them, they just had to get another person to ring it up.
Let's be clear: this is not a matter of the employee being unable to do their job, its a matter of them choosing to not do their job that they are able to do. Accommodations are made when someone does not have the physical capability otherwise, for example it is a reasonable accommodation to provide a step ladder to a shorter employee who is physically unable to reach the top shelf on their own. If you can do your job but choose not to, the reason doesn't matter, and it deserves termination not accommodation.
Exactly
The only religious accommodation that a Christian person could possibly need is a day off on Sunday. Your faith is between you and God, it is never acceptable to discriminate against people because of your supposed “faith”.
It should not be legal to refuse someone sale at pharmacies based on personal beliefs
Imagine if someone works for a gun shop does the same thing. "Sorry, I am religious and I can't sell you murder weapons."
For real, someone needs to try this...
@Mahmoud Bennett You are being denied service though - AND being made into a special case. The only special case here is the ASSHOLE who won't do the job they were hired for. Solution - fire their ass.
@Mahmoud Bennett I get it but the same can be said about a Pharmacy which should sell drugs like birth control pills.
I assume that would happen in a grocery store which sells guns.
Ana even described the company policy.
I had a gun store refuse to sell to me because I was buying a used gun, so I brought one of my rifle cases with me. It had my "under no pretext," pride rainbows, Socialist Rifle Association, "trans rights will be guaranteed by gun rights if need be," etc patches all over the side (soft rifle case). I recorded the conversation on my phone once I realized what was going on. My buddy lived down the street. We put signs up in his yard "(Blank) Gun Shop refuses to sell to christians!" "(Blank) Gun Shop refuses to sell to Trump supporters!" "(Blank) Gun Shop refuses to sell to Republicans!" He threatened to sue me and my buddy. I explained to him that I had him on audio refusing to sell to me and that I could identify as any of those categories, nothing we were saying was untrue. Must have really been effecting his business because he kept harassing my buddy and tore the signs down. So he put up a camera and said he'd have the gun shop owner arrested if he did it again. Our price for taking the signs down was a free AR for both of us of our choice. About a month later he agreed to it. Bully these people. It works.
The fact that the manager didn't fire this employee on the spot is ridiculous.
I would of Fired and blacklisted him
Freedom of religion stops that
@@Project_TTG yet she literally violated that right...
You cannot force your religious belief on someone no matter what. Thats even a Violation of International Bill of Human Rights
@@dr.fjoer_the_crazy_scienti5841 She didn’t force anything she just didn’t exactly what self entitled snowflake wanted
@@Project_TTG Freedom of religion allows this person to get another job that actually contorts to his goofy religious principles.
Nobody is forcing him to keep that job. He can leave it.
Wtf? How does her being married have any bearing here... married or not she has every right as a human being to make that purchase.
Yes, that’s true. However, I think Ana is saying that the woman being married simply makes it seem that much *more* illogical that a Christian cashier wouldn’t sell her the condoms, because most Christians believe that sex between two consenting adults who are married, to each other, is okay, whereas if they’re *not* married to each other, then they think it’s “immoral”. It’s the whole “sex outside of marriage” thing that most Christians claim they have a moral objection to. But, some Christians don’t believe in using *any* kind of birth control, at *any* time, even with one’s own spouse. So, maybe this cashier is Catholic, or one of the other anti-birth control forms of “Christianity”? Otherwise, his “moral objection” doesn’t make any sense. Not for most Christians anyway. For you & I, it doesn’t make any sense to refuse the sale either way. But, some “Christians” out there think it does. 🤷🏻♀️
That clerk shouldn't be working where condoms are sold!
get a job at Hobby Lobby or Chick Filet
So should a short person not be allowed to work somewhere that requires you to stock shelves even if they could obtain a step stool to reach them?
@@Kartracer6 if that step stool got in the way of him doing his job effectively then Yes. Imagine having to wait for the manager to come over because some dipshit can’t do his job properly.
Interesting motto for a store, "Not All Items For Sale Will Be Sold Due to Religious Beliefs."
Years ago I worked in a CVS pharmacy and it was well known that CVS would fire you for not dispensing anything we had a valid RX for and there was no reasonable suspicion of drug diversion, but at Walgreens pharmacists and technicians had the prerogative to refuse to dispense certain drugs due to certain religious or personal convictions. I heard about a pharmacist at a Walgreens down the street who wouldn't validate prescriptions for oral contraceptives among other drugs, and I couldn't imagine a more useless person making $100k year. Imagine going to school for 6 or 7 years studying biomedical sciences and refusing to touch 10-20% of the prescriptions in your pharmacy.
Fired the Walgreen worker who refused to sell the condom. If anything they should be handing them out free to prevent abortions.
Manager should have logged out the employee PERMANENTLY ASAP!! On grounds that the pharmacy aide was trying to practise medicine without a license or professional training!!
As a french person I want the liberty statue back , we gave it to the US in early 1900 .
Liberty? That word does not mean anything anymore in the US.!!!
Though America can keep the foundation of the statue, since that's the only part they paid for themselves... but everything from feet up should be returned to France. America will have a nice empty slab of concrete in its place to admire. Seems more appropriate anyway for them.
Trop bon, t'as raison!
Let a Muslim tell a customer "i cannot sell you alcohol because of my faith" Sean Hannity would go to the top of the "FOX News" building in his underwear and scream "i knew it! sharia law is here"
He should NOT be on the register. EVER. PERIOD.
Married women or not she has every right to make the purchase
It doesn’t matter if she is married or not it’s none of anyones business. If she wants to go to an orgy it’s none of their business. I agree with Anna if you can’t do your job maybe they should do something else that doesn’t interfere with his beliefs Hobby Lobby is always hiring😊
Fucc you Susie!! At Hobby Lobby they sell the number 6!!! What if someone tries to buy thre of them!?!?! Get your head out of your ass!! 🤣🤪
Quite right! Well, except maybe for that last part. I’m not too sure about Hobby Lobby. I used to get my candles & art supplies there, a long time ago, and I’m *not* 100% certain, but I think I’ve actually seen condoms for sale by their front checkout stands, right next to the chewing gum & candy bars. That Hobby Lobby store was back in our hometown, which is a major college town in our home state. So, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if that Hobby Lobby store was selling condoms alongside the licorice & the chocolate bars. Lol! 🤷🏻♀️💜😋🍫😅💜🤷🏻♂️
It doesn't matter if she's married or not, this is total BS.
WTF. It does not matter if she is a married or not.
It never stopped them from selling guns!
But, but, but ... the fundamentalist nutjobs are "pro-life"! 🤣
What if they don't believe in antibiotics? No, no, no!! Guy should be let go.
It started with a baker refusing to sell a wedding cake to a gay couple. Anyone who thought it would end there is a fool.
And leftists sued like assholes
👍🏽 yup.
Here's a thought: if you really have an objection to contraceptives, don't work at a store that carries them. It's worth considering: even if you don't ring up the item yourself, some portion of that sale (even if only a penny) will find its way into your paycheck.
If your faith is so strong that you are going to be offended by the fact that people, even a married couple, are having sex purely for mutual pleasure and not for procreation, you need to be prepared to be offended every moment of every day for the rest of your life because somewhere out there there's always somebody getting some.
Suppose this employee was working at B&N - would he be allowed to refuse to ring up a book on the teachings of Islam because they disagree with his own faith? Now let's flip it. Could a devout Muslim working at B&N refuse to ring up books on Christianity because they go against his faith?
How about the clothing industry? A twenty-something girl goes into the store and picks out shorts that are so short her cheeks will hang out, and a top that's basically just a two- or three-inch wide band of fabric. Could a person refuse to sell that because it contributes to objectification of women and encourages impure thoughts.
For some people, vegetarianism rises almost to the same level as a religion. Imagine going into a grocery store and having a cashier say "Oh, no, as a strict vegetarian, I'm not going to ring up these animal-based products."
So, again, if you have an issue with the merchandise a store carries, fine, that's on you. But don't take a job in that store and refuse to ring up a customer because you object to it. When I first saw this, there were people demanding a boycott of Walgreens, which is an over-reaction. As much as I can understand managers wanting to accommodate religious views, they also need to think of customer satisfaction. People that need to worry about offending an employee with a religiously prohibited item will stop going to that store. Even customers who aren't impacted by that directly, but experience longer waits in line because of "reasonable accommodations" are probably going to start shopping elsewhere.
A boycott is not an overreaction. Walgreens gives gads on money to republicans which supports the kind of backhanded tactics they have used to to put religious lunatics on the s CT, a s ct that is completely out of touch with the majority of Americans and which is heavily Catholic - not in the least representative of the American public, three of whom were nominated by a psychotic ex prez who didn't even get the popular vote, and who are now trying to impose their religious garbage of a century ago on the American public. A boycott is an important tool, here, a communication tool to communicate something strongly to Walgreens about its practices. There is power in numbers.
I’m writing to Walgreens and telling them I’ll never go to their stores again.
How do you not get fired for pushing your religious beliefs upon a customer ???
I’ve figured out the easiest job in the world. Become a Christian Scientist and a pharmacist too.
And yet any control over gun sales is a heinous crime against humanity, what am missing here. 🥺🏴☠️
I'd dare a Walgreens employee to try that here in California. That Walgreens employee would not only get fired, he would have been arrested for interfering with her healthcare requirements.
Other pharmacies should take note and put out commercials saying that they will NEVER put one person's religion over customers' prescriptions or health needs.
Yes if I was the manger I would have made them rign them up or be fired its as simple as that. Do your job if religion is getting in the way its no diffrent that a drug or alchol problem
I’ve been a manager if I had an employee like this I would fire them on the spot
Does anyone remember like 5 years ago when a Muslim stewardess refused to sell alcohol on a flight and how the "right" went berserk?
This is getting out of hand. When is enough is enough.
but it wasn't against his religion to work for an employer who sold condoms? like, clearly the thought didn't bother him THAT much...
100%
This employee needs to be fired, you can't enforce your religious beliefs on people.
Fire the manager as well.
It doesn't matter in the slightest that she's a married woman. It's her business and the store sells condoms, the clerk should be taken off register at the least, even if she was single.
So if a Mormon gets a job at Starbucks they can refuse to make any drinks with caffeine in it? A Hindu working at Denny's won't serve you beef? I am sorry if you can't do your job for ‘Religulous Reasons' find a different job.
Very funny! Thanks! I needed that laugh.
Walgreens couple years back refused to give medicine to a woman who had a miscarriage. I will not spend one cent in their stores.
I agree with her 100%. That means if your faith doesn't allow you to be around alcohol, don't work at a place that serves alcohol.
What about a grocery store (that sells alcohol)? Does this mean minors who can't sell alcohol legally shouldn't be allowed to work there either?
Don’t be a bartender if you don’t believe in serving alcohol.
@@Silverstreak7878 When I made the post I was thinking of a case where a person was hired to be as an airline host/hostess and then refused to serve alchohol based on faith. The court found in her favor. My thoughts were that if they didn't want to do the job, they shouldn't have taken it. Don't get me wrong, if something isn't a major part of the job it is no big deal for a company to make accommodations, but something that is such a big part of the job and places the burden on all the other employees to take up that person's slack isn't right.
@@Hawaiiwong Since when can't a minor working as a clerk not sale alcohol? Doubt 7/11 stores would be around if that were the case.
@@dixieporter2960 I am saying they can. Just as that man can work at walgreens or someone who won't sell alcohol can work at a grocery store. But saying you can't work somewhere where you don't want to or cannot sell a small portion of the products like many are suggesting would mean minors should not work at grocery stores because they can't sell alcohol.
"Religion was invented when the first con man met the first fool.' - Mark Twain
Religious advice from mark twain 😅 okay lmao
“Vacation in Wisconsin. That was their first mistake.”😂😂-Ana
My daughter has seizures but has luckily found a medication that prevents her from having any more. This medication would need to be stopped immediately if she were to become pregnant because it would be dangerous to the growing fetus. Her having seizures would also be dangerous to the growing fetus. Therefore, she must prevent pregnancy or abort an unplanned pregnancy. This is something she has come to terms with, but she shouldn't have to explain any of this to some random asshole whose religious beliefs conflict with his job.
It is people like your daughter who suffer most from the hypocrisy of the “Christian” right wing extremists.
this guy is the epitome of 'this is why self check outs exist"
colored compressed air. 😄Emily I dont often laugh out loud when I read comments but I did with yours.👍
I want to work at Walgreens but my religion prevents me from selling condoms, ringing out birth control, any jewelry, makeup, coffee, tea, or anything that makes a woman look or smell promiscuous. See how silly this can get. Oh let's not dare forget alcohol or tobacco.
That is insane they don't want women to have an abortion but yet they don't want women to prevent from having to go through that trauma that is insane
You don't get it. They want y'all all pregnant and all babies born no matter what
Control & white babies!
This is like christian parents who tell their children condoms are evil and then are all surprised when their kids end up pregnant.
The cashier was not sorry in the least. An employee that’s sorry would have called the manager to do the transaction. All the cashier had to do was look at the woman’s items and say, “I’m unable to ring up your items. Give me one second and my manager will come up here and take care of your purchase.” The cashier wanted to let the woman know he was judging her and had Walgreens’ permission to judge her
I saw some of comment's after you and it was what is Anna Blabbing about. And judging the woman and condoms and anyone using them. Yes he just had to humiliate the women and judge her. If he was thoughtful and kind he would have done exactly what you said.
@@jscullyandmulderx25
I moved all my prescriptions away from Walgreens earlier this year. Nothing to do with birth control, but all the Walgreens in my area became unreliable about pharmacy open/close times and delaying prescription refills. Pharmacy workers that knew my roommate by name started disappearing and there were always “Now hiring for pharmacy” signs. That let me know they were being crappy to the workers and couldn’t retain help
Religion has no place in the workplace. He’s a Walgreens cashier not a pastor. He needs to be fired
Company policy allows him to do it. Walgreens is a private company. That in America means they can sell to whomever they want and can leave that at the discretion of their employees under certain situations, is they choose to do so
Thing is if they fire him he’d surely sue with the help of some right wing organization, drag to the Supreme Court where they will change another law.
I bet the management at Walgreens 11857 would love to hear your concerns!
@@fgsaramago BULLSHIT
@@fgsaramago And working at a private company means that when you clock in your first and second amendment rights don't mean 💩. Anyone who's ever tried to exercise their freedom of speech against their boss most probably has a first hand experience of this. And most businesses don't allow employees to carry weapons. A business isn't a democracy. It's far closer to legal fascism.
One day, former cashiers will look back and wonder what the tipping point was that drove society to completely automate store checkouts and lay off all cashiers, and someone will point out, "It was John. He ruined it for us." OK, maybe that will never happen, but it should.
It is happening and John was just the puppet needed for this. Innocent people are being railroaded by companies like Walmart that made 100s of thousands of dollars by accusing people of stealing at self check outs. People settled with Walmart even after prosecutors dropped charges. John is more than a lunatic, he's a puppet.
@@starbucksgirl6715 Using automation for law enforcement will only get worse. As someone who works in IT, I work around bugs in software constantly and know all the corners developers like to cut when they program. A.I. also inherits the bias of its programmer. Walmart checkout, Amazon ring doorbell cameras, etc. are just the beginning. The surveillance state once thought of as just sci-fi is now real.
I'm tired of religious people imposing their depressive lifestyle onto others. I can only assume the bitterness of their life makes them spiteful individuals
When "John" thought about what those condoms were going to be used for, he committed a sin and should have quit his job to keep that from happening again.
That employee should be fired immediately and the woman should sue the man and the Walgreens corporation for $100,000,000 dollars.
I used to work for a physicians' group and one of the family practice doctors refused to prescribe birth control for any reason because of his "Catholic faith". Of course, it didn't stop him from having affairs with a female doctor AND one of his nurses. Plus, he got caught steeling one of the company laptops. So, it's really not about their faith.
I bet he would sell it to her husband
Also it shouldn’t matter if she is married or not!
That is total BS and that pharmacist or employee should be fired!!!!
Of course they would have sold it to the husband! They should have tried. Then they could have proven it was discrimination.
The saddest part is, his faith will not prevent him from selling it to single male.
It's all about POWER for men 😢
This is like having a Jewish salesperson that refuses to sell me a ham that I am buying for Easter, for instance. So ridiculous ...that salesperson should be fired...period.
The only language that corporations understand is quarterly statements... make them hurt. Make them hurt badly.
People can exercise their opinions while on their time but when you are on company time you have no opinion. I own a business and i would have immediately fired that cashier.
These religious zealots are the reason people don’t want anything to do with religion at all.
100%. I lived in the south for 8 years and the people I met that were the most religious were the biggest hypocrites, disgustingly so. I want nothing to do with organized religion anymore.
The older i get the more i realize christians and conservatives are the worst people out there. These are the same people who started world war 1 world war 2, the slave trade, and nearly every horrific event in human history, and yet they act like if you arent having biblical sex that is the real problem. These people are completely evil.
Yup
Well, that and it's bullshit
Crusaders will always exist they have no reason not to it's their entire history the Christian religion is nothing but mass death and forced conversion under threat of deaths there was a firearm that was designed to shoot a more painful bullet at non Christian targets
If it was really about his faith, he could have found another clerk to ring the order though without making a fuss (especially since the company claims that’s the existing protocol). The fact that he told her why he wouldn’t do it was the point - he was refusing to do it and he wanted her to know he was judging her.
Remember, these fanatics- actually believe they are entitled and mandated by their all-mighty god to convert others - even by force, if needed.
Beyond wanting her to know he refuses to abide by the law, he is trying to humiliate her with irrational misogynistic ideas. She "must be put in her place" type of attitude.
The vast majority of Rethug voters are Sadists. You can bet the zealot votes Rethug.
I hope people in that town all start to buy condoms in this Walgreens, really pushing how much the manager is willing to be at the register much of each day...and then returning them. Don't give Walgreens money.
Picture it this way.... a strict muslim man gets a job at a liquor store, but then refuses to sell alcohol becuase he thinks it's a sin to touch it at all.... WOuld he still get paid? NO, he'd be fired. Don't work there is you have a moral objection to what's being sold.
This is customer harrassment. Sue Walgreens.
Stop selling alcohol, Pharmaceuticals, women's makeup, close on sundays, and anything else that offends low information moralizers.
I know right. Tell the fundies to get a job at Chick-Fil-A-Bigot.
The fact that the woman is married is immaterial. Any grown woman should be able to buy whatever they want without being policed by bigots- regardless of marital status. Walgreens should be exposed and boycotted.
Walgreens has no business defending these lunatics
I had that same experience, when a pharmacist refused to filled my BC.. I reported her to the state pharmacy board, and my insurance company. She eventually, got her license suspended indefinitely. The irony is that the pharmacy was Walgreens.
I once had a local pharmacist (not a chain store) in Brooklyn refuse to sell me the morning after pill. This was ten years ago. Then my boyfriend joined me and he sold it to me because he didn’t like that I was in an interracial relationship. Btw the pharmacist was an older black man. Didn’t want me maybe having a half black son I guess.
Fire him. If he refuses to do the job, that he gets PAID for, then he has to go.
This is the second time I heard of a worker from Walgreens not selling birth control to a customer.
It doesn’t matter if she’s married or not. Don’t even bring it up. It’s a built in concession.
Yes!!
Since gluttony is a sin this employee should object to selling customers with carts full of sugary snacks, processed garbage snacks and sugar soda. Or triple decker burgers with bacon & cheese.
The issue at the pharmacy is SO terrible. There are people, who are prescribed birth control for reasons, other, than to not get pregnant. It is used to fight migraines, unusually heavy, or painful periods, acne, endometriosis, etc. Denying someone a prescription that is needed for your health, based on faith, is an attack on you, and should be treated as such. You are interfering with someone's health. That should be a criminal offense.
Exactly. My wife uses the pill to help with unusually heavy and painful periods and not for birth control.
The party of people's rights is continually reducing people's rights based on their beliefs. Typical conservatives the world over. Hypocrites the lot of them.
Exactly. I take it for endometriosis and my IBS. Has improved my quality of life significantly.
@@NastyWoman1979 l took BC because l was able to produce progesterone. I was diagnosed with PCOS.
I am strongly against smoking tobacco. However, when I worked in a convenient store, it never occurred to me to prevent clients to buy cigarettes.
According to tyt's normal logic, youre anti American then
@@fgsaramago sorry, I do not remember a video saying I should not sell cigarettes. Do you have an example?
Anyway, I am Canadian.
@@ghyslainabel going by tyt's reasoning, if youre against it, you must not sell it
If Wallgreens won't stand up to this type of religious discrimination against their customers, then boycott their stores!
I agree. This doesn’t happen at CVS
She should have just said "So you'd prefer I had an abortion?" Oh, wait, that doesn't work anymore in America does it? I bet that if an employee refused to sell Viagra, there would be a huge uproar.
Thank you!
Damned either way, coz it was never about the unborn babies it was always about control of who they see as second class citizens
It doesn't matter whether she's married or not or what she wants them for. It is not illegal to buy or sell condoms in the US.
These fools need to be fired and the store needs to be sued. Freedom of religion is in the constitution.
As the owner of that shop I would fire this employee because I can not take care of the different religious deranged employee what he or she is allowed to sell or not. This guy is argueing like a vegan who is working in a butcher's shop!!
Maybe gun-control advocates should get jobs where guns are sold and refuse the sale. Then we’ll see what conservatives and their media will have to say about that.
Isn't "John" going against his faith by helping a business to sell things that ultimately help support the sale of other items his faith is against? Seems to me, "John" is sinning by working in this business.
Thank you, Ana.
Imagine how these people would react if a Muslim store clerk refused to sell someone pork
Great point!
they'd find out that clerk's name and unleash death threats
"No condoms for you, but would you like a gun?"
John got his alcohol license but not his condom license. I bet John will sell alcohol in a heart beat.
And even if she wasn't married, she should be allowed to buy as many boxes as she wants. People like this pick jobs where they can pull take fake "moral" stances like this, but in private they are doing the most vile things.
Time for Walgreens to upgrade to self checkout.
I wonder how many people use their “faith” to deny sales of guns.
My faith compels me to refuse to sell you a gun. I can’t see that going down well.
It would go down exactly as it went down here.
The company, as Ana says, has a policy regarding employees moral objections to selling certain things.
Is this cashier accepting a paycheck from a company that sells condoms?
Good point!
His religion is Republicanism. It has nothing to do with Christianity, even tho they say it does.
