Halal Choices

[nero_bolt]

Halal Choices..... are you concerned with the halal slaughter of animals such as beef, lamb and poultry.

To be halal certified the animal must be facing Mecca, have its throat cut while still alive and then ritually sacrificed by a Muslim who recites a prayer dedicating the slaughter to Allah.

Because the animals must be slaughtered alive, stun guns are often not an option as they can kill an animal before the heart pumps out all the blood.

Interesting youtube    https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=mSP47FAtn6U  

The presenter is Kirralie Smith, an average Aussie housewife, who does the weekly grocery shopping. 

Ms Smith became aware, then alarmed, about the Islamic halal certification on so many of her shopping list items. She looked for a list of halal certified foods so she could make informed choices about what to buy and what to avoid.

There was no such list, yet so many supermarket products were stamped 'halal certified'.

Ms Smith started to do her own investigation, calling supermarket chains, grocery producers - even the halal certifiers - all so she could be better informed when she went to do her shopping.

She has personally contacted over 500 companies to determine their halal certification status.

What she discovered was bigger than big. 

Kirralie Smith is the founder and director of HalalChoices. Kirralie holds a BA in Theology and lives with her family in coastal New South Wales. What started as an attempt to put together a shopping list for her family led to two years of research into halal certification schemes in Australia; as well as our most comprehensive resource concerning these tax-like schemes now imposed on the majority of our food products.

ou do know it is not just your food don't you? and some businesses are owned by Muslims as well as as Christians, heathens, Buddhists etc?

I never thought to ask about the religion of the owner of the shop where I buy my fruit and vegetables.

There is a dark-skinned woman who serves sometimes.  I will be careful.

Since when do checkouts have 'tables'?

---

wouldn't you go to the service desk, outside the supermarket entry?

---

Yes, that is where you go if you take products back( faulty, out of date) and request a refund. Checkout persons don't do refunds.

---

This was a point that bothered me too - refunds at the check out

I was going to say "that's not true" but decided to read on a bit and have a think

I think that the correct procedure is to go to a service desk, but then this person's goal was to cause a scene and draw attention to himself and his actions "I chose the busiest line". The supervisor was called, so perhaps they knew how to refund at the checkout.

So I think he deliberately avoided the service desk, where his complaint may have been handled discretely with minimum interruption and attention.

Instead, he chose to go to a checkout where the staff are probably young, and also unused to dealing with refunds and angered confrontation.

I think that he probably did go to the checkout. It caused a drama,  exactly what he wanted to do - There are ways to bring attention to your cause. I don't think that this one was appropriate.

lady godiva, you won't get a refund on opened food items unless they are spoilt/past by use date no matter how much you carry on - keep carrying on and security will be called.

I have had instances where an error was made at checkout and not noticed til after the transaction was completed, I had to go to the service desk and wait in line.

I wonder if he is telling the truth at all?

Yes, but you have manners.

I doubt that you were carrying on like a swiny toothed madman at a person unequipped to dealing with such an incident. The checkout person didn't process the refund, she probably did try to get them to go to the service desk, but he just kept raving like a nut case so she called the supervisor.

If this did happen, I am wondering why the supervisor didn't call store security.

I don't think the supervisor really knew how to handle the situation either.
