Isn’t that like…. Most of them
The patients don't come in looking for a spiritual advisor. They want healthcare professionals. >

And refusing to fill a valid prescription is completely unprofessional. >

Yeah you can ask for reasonable accommodations for your religious beliefs in the workplace, but if it means you're unable to do your job entirely good luck with the lawsuit. >

They want to turn it into a battle where they're being persecuted for their religion, that way all the bullshit they get told in church about how they are targets for being Christian will be proved right
But the truth is, they didn't say, "take off your cross and deny christ or else we're firing you" 
They said "you're job description is to accomplish X, Y, and Z at your job and you are refusing to do X because YOU claim it's against your religious beliefs."
Fuck that lady. >

Wouldn't this be the opposite then?  Shouldn't she be prosecuted for enforcing her religion on others?  By denying someone a legitimate prescription because what they need is against her own beliefs, she is in turn saying "Fuck your beliefs, mine are better than yours and you must respect and follow mine" >

She's not even saying "Fuck your BELIEFS" she's saying "fuck your HEALTHCARE, my religion is more important than your life"
Others have said, it's not a crime, but it damn well should be >

From the article:

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act...states employers cannot “avoid accommodating a religious practice that it could accommodate without undue hardship"

Only having one pharmacist on duty, and calling in another one just to do a single prescription is definitely undue hardship, not to mention forcing customers to drive to another CVS because homegirl feels the need to force her beliefs on everyone else.
Hope she gets destroyed in court. >

If you can’t do your job because of your religious beliefs you shouldn’t be doing the job. 
Imagine a Jehovas Witness Phlebotomist who just refuses to draw blood. Or a Muslim cashier who refuses to sell pork. 
These are choices that people make which make them unable to fulfil the duties of the job. If your religion doesn’t permit you to prescribe legal and necessary medications, find another job. >

pretty sure the Muslim cashier one has been in the news a couple times over the past decade. >

Yep, Costco got sued, not because they fired the cashier but because they moved him to shopping cart duty. They guy lost though because they didn't reduce his pay or hours. >

That's almost a textbook case of religious accommodation. And the guy still sues! >

Actual real life lawyer here. Unfortunately that's the problem with the legal landscape and the overly litigious nature of this country. I wouldn't be shocked if it was the guy's intention the entire time, get the job then request religious exemptions, only to then sue and hope the company just settles instead of actually fighting it. 
There are too many cases where businesses just bend over backwards to accommodate people or try to avoid any amount of bad press or expense in fighting a frivolous complaint they just settle them out even if they would easily win the case on the merits. The overly cautious nature of companies is only empowering these jackasses to do this stuff. >

Pretty sure there is a King of the Hill episode where Dale deliberately tries to this same thing but with a Hooters and gender discrimination. >

Hooters has gotten around discrimination lawsuits in the past because they are hiring "entertainers" and not general restaurant wait staff. When hiring an "entertainer" you are somewhat allowed to use discriminatory hiring practices. >

Does that mean they aren't allowed to pay their wages based on estimated tips, like they would for a server? >

Either way, Hooters girls make pretty great money. Girl in my dorm waited tables there to pay for college and she hated it but it was really good money so she dealt with it. 
Nicest girl ever. Always felt kinda bad for her; cant imagine that's a very fun job >

My dad would tip the hooters waitress like $20-$50 each time >

If I were a patient and a CVS nurse refused to give me birth control, I would sue CVS >

Theyre going to lose if it's one of the ones I'm thinking of.
They're supposed to just say "I'll get someone else to help you"
But what a lot of them was doing was saying "CVS won't/can't fill that, you need to leave".
Two very, very different things. >

“I can’t do that, it’s against my religion” vs “You can’t do that, it’s against my religion”.  Pretty cut and dry. >

Which is exactly what's wrong with religious fanatics. Narcissistic and delusional. >

And that is one reason why younger generations are turning away from religion more and more. >

Except those that seem to have it seem to be more zealous. My wife has several young nurses that came out of the woodwork as anti-vax/allTheDamnThings since covid started. 
I, unfortunately, don't think this is a problem that will ever go away, we'll just see face-lifts. >

A nurse that refuses to give vaccinations should be fired.  
Period >

They gave vaccines, and even got the required ones. But when the covid one became mandatory they started to screech anti-vax. 
I honestly can't just give this summary since it hurts my brain to think that someone can go into that field and claim to be anti-vax. >

I remember reading the case about a Marine that was discharged for refusing the vaccine because of its use of fetal tissue. She didn’t really have an answer when asked why she got the MMR vaccine that used the same tissue sample. >

Many many years ago I was an apprentice plumber and it was a legal requirement for my apprenticeship to get a bunch of vaccines to protect against diseases. hep a hep b MMR, typhoid ( that ones a cunt of a shot ) rabies ( not that we have rabies in my country anymore ) and a couple others, I didn't like it, but after talking to a lot of the old master plumbers and hearing horror stories of the shit they had contracted in their careers I took my vaccines and the typhoid and hep ones have certainly paid off over the years when I've been exposed to that shit.
Like a lot of people I don't like getting shots, but I'd rather the shot than a dose of a preventable disease. >

Any religion you follow that requires other people to obey the rules you chose?
Is fucking insane.
