Actually Asda has the best equal oppurtunities. But
they do have a trim the beard policy.

I need a working bearded brother to post here to tell me how his employer lets him excercize his religous freedoms.The big burning question is "is there any?" or is it a fact that there is no such thing as religous freedom unless you remain unemployed?
 
I cant understand why gays and lesbians have so many rights in the workplace but religous rights seem small. Maybe my conclusion is wrong but hey! what are you people here for?
 
wait am confused you workin in the costumer service department, how is that health and safety? you might choke on ur beard? lol

Anyhow, I know a brother, well I have seen him in a shop stackin shelfs.

Also my advise, groom your beard, keep it tidy, i dont mean trim i jus mean comb it and wet it, like dont look trampy or nothing aite :p

Asda? Are you working at the checkout? I can see an obvious health and safety issue they will raise for long beards there.

In general, they're covering their butts in case you get your beard trapped in something and decide to sue them. I doubt it's some form of discrimination. If it was discrimination, they'd ask you to shave it off.

I am not a Muslim but I would refuse to get rid of my beard too ;)
 
Oh just tell them you are a grown man and can look after your beard perfectly well and reassure them that it wont get as big as Santas. And if they have a problem with your beard they better not get a Santa in at Christmas time.
 
Good question cheese "why does a beard violate health and safety" , i was told i could get in caught in something. But i will keep asking that question and keep the posters informed .
 
To Isa:

Working in any situation where you are working as part of a team or dealing with the general public requires skills in customer services. There two types of customer. The external customer and the internal customer. Exteranal customers are the general public whilst the internal range from your boss, your workmates, and other branches etc.

It is highly dangerous for the following reasons:
  • It might be caught between two cans of food
  • A dog might eat it
  • A mad barber may invade the shop and beat you up so that they can shave it
  • A security guard might 'mistake' you for a terrorist and shoot you a couple of times
:D

Seriously, I think it's not really dangerous at all, and the company just doesn't want to get in legal trouble if some strange accident does happen to occur. Same with hair, they make people tie it back even when they are not working with dangerous machines.

You know, back in the old days they used to use bands on their beards if they had a big one. So instead of a girl using a band on her hair, you use it on your beard.

Me? I dont have a , umm.. full beard yet, cause I cant grow a full beard when it doesnt grow, heh..

Asda... where exactly will you be working? Because it's haraam to handle alcohol.

:wasalamex
 
Salaam,

I will be working nightshifts in which the tills be be closed - so no booze handling there - and i will be working (insha'Allah) on other aisles but the bws (beerwinespirts) aisle in which they have the most trustable member working on that one, thanks for your concern - i am aware of the hadith which states that even the person who carries alcohol is cursed.

Oh yeh! big insha'Allahs and your duaas please, i have been bashing at Asdas doors for over six months and i refuse to give up. I will eventually get the job insha'Allah WITH MY BEARD!
