I find it telling that the Muslim worker wouldn't assist a customer purchasing pork and alcohol, you was willing to accept a paycheck from an establishment that sold pork and alcohol. That smacks more than a little bit of hypocrisy.
A few years ago, I was in an upscale men's clothier purchasing a Christmas gift for a friend. The store advertised free gift wrapping. The clerk who assisted me was very helpful. However, when I mentioned that I'd like the gloves gift wrapped, he told me he'd have to get me another assistant, as he was a Jehovah's Witness. I didn't have an issue with it until I got my sales receipt - the sale was credited to the first assistant, the JW. So, effectively, the man was willing to take a sales commission on an item he knew all along was a Christmas gift, even though celebrating - or even recognizing - Christmas was against his religion.
It seems as if religious principles crumble like a week old bread crust in a high wind when money gets involved.
