And no, I had no idea that M&S sold Bibles either. I'm sure they don't list all their products when they interview prospective staff.

I am talking with my business head on here Willow, not 'respect' for stories from the Bible, etc.
You should not air your opinions in front of the customers no matter what, therefore jeopardising the sale of certain goods by affecting the feelings of the customer, and derogatory to the company that is paying your wages at the end of the day.. that is all there is to it, no matter what the issue is. ! That is way the Marks will view this incident irrespective. Could have been that they were selling Enid Blyton books again, and the assistant refused to handle it to what, in the past, the powers that be considered it bad grammar and not good for young children to read.
I do not believe that the assistant was so naive not to understand that her additude would not upset the customer in a Christian country. If she is, then needs a lesson in good manners.
