Here is what everyone seems to be not understanding
"...A spokeswoman said a member of staff had misunderstood that the chef had asked them to prepare the black pudding, not that black pudding could not be served."
The above quote explains the fault was not with the chef but with the employee not following directions.
Which makes this not an article about a jw chef not wanting to do their jobs but about the difficulty in finding staff who can follow directions and know what not to say to customers. In any kitchen the head chefs do not tolerate people who can not follow their directions.
Why in the world would the employee tell the officer that the chef was a jw and thats the reason for no blood pudding? In any restaurant or business I have ever worked at you dont reveal the truth to the customer. You dont tell them I was too lazy to do my job properly or I screwed up or I forgot or was to be chatting to do my job etc thats why its taking longer or you cant have what you came here for. No matter what anyone says time and time again I have watched company's tell customers anything but what really happened to avoid them getting angry and to keep them calm. Why an employee went to the officer and actually said the chef is a jw and refuses to serve you blood pudding blows my mind especially when we know the blood pudding is regularly served with the jw working as a chef . Why would it become an issue all of the sudden. This calls into question at least in my mind his intentions revealing information no normal person would tell a customer. I believe this is an attempt to make the jws look bad more then this is about staff confusion. I prefer honesty if jw does something wrong let them catch hell for it but if some hateful punk does something dishonest to make someone else look bad I am gonna give them hell for it too.
Most of us here know jws and we all know they will take a job if they can do it without violating their religious principles. If the company requires that they violate those principles they will promptly give notice and go work somewhere else .
In most cases, The company will have someone else deal with blood or holiday, or political issues and the jw continues to work there with no problems. My current boss for example loves hiring Jws because she feels they work hard and do not steal. She is perfectly fine with them not doing anything political and the bonus is they can work holidays since they do not celebrate.
Also, The world is full of non religious nuttery. People are hateful, rude, selfish, greedy, violent, prideful, arrogant, heartless, liars, thieves, addicts, to mention a few traits of non religious people. It should therefore not surprise anyone that religious people who are the same as non religious people have the same bad traits . While non religious people regulary criticize religious people for their short comings and failures to live up to the bible despite trying. We learn that all men are hypocrites, religious people for not practicing what they preach and non religious people for doing the same things they criticize religion for doing.
