If he was fasting and knew he couldn't serve why did they put him on the till.

And why just those items surely if it was because of fasting he wouldn't be able to ring up anything?

What a odd world we live in!!!

This country has certainly gone to the dogs,  if you can't buy food if you are served by someone who has certain beliefs, it's an insult to those who have different beliefs to have their beliefs forced upon us, I give up.
