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.

Do you read the lables to see whats HALAL or not HALAL Do you purchase HALAL products or not?

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.

If you have been overcharged at the checkout and notice it after you have paid you do have to go to the service desk to get the amount refunded.

Imagine the hold-ups in checkout queues if checkout staff did refunds! (especially for returned items).

I wonder if he is telling the truth at all?

Something not right in that tale.

I think that may have been the whole point - he would not have gotten much attention from others if he had just gone quietly to the service desk.

Perhaps stonings are appropriate for some people.

I think picksickering is telling fibs (shock), from the Woolworths website - you can't return opened food products - I knew this but thought i should check, the whole story is a crock. Interesting site "christian" news...lol...not even the thoroughly right wing australian christian lobby supports this religious bigotry campaign. If picksickering had of carried on as he describes, security would have been called and he would have been escorted out.

I have changed my mind and no longer want an item I have purchased. Can I return it?

If you no longer want a product you purchased from a Woolworths Supermarket, take your item to your nearest store unopened, in its original packaging and with a clear proof of purchase and we will cheerfully refund the purchase price or exchange the product.

These may be the rules, but I don't think this man was intereste4d in following them.

Those rules don't help an unawares checkout operator when a shock jock confronts them infront of other customers. The CO operator may have directed him to the service desk, but how does she make him do that? If he refused and stood his ground, the next thing she could do was call a supervisor for assistance.

I am surprised the supervidor didn't call store security, but then maybe they thought the best way to handle the situation was to give him his refund as quickly as possible and get him out of the store to stop disrupting other customers.

The person who wrote that just comes across as a pig. Regardless of whether he did what he claimed or not.

and you cannot get a refund at the checkout, no matter how much fuss you make and people you inconvenience.

Perhaps Mr P is known for being a difficult demanding customer and has disrupted the stores business before and the supervisor thought it best to get him out the quickest way possible.

For him to go straight to the checkout ( and not to the service desk) complain proves he just wanted to start a ruckus and inconvenience all the other customers waiting in the queue.

I agree
Unfortunately, he has his followers who blindly support this sort of behaviour. Often quoted on CS.

In my experience those claiming to be the victim of bullying are in fact the bully themselves. There is a medical term for this.
