    It’s not that simple. What if the chef is Saudi and the customer asks for bacon and he refuses because it’s against his religion to use pork? Would that be an acceptable reason for refusing or would he have to violate his beliefs because some idiot wants something?

      Some “idiot” wants something… that’s on the menu?

      It’s not that simple. What if the pharmacist is Catholic and the customer asks for birth control and he refuses because it’s against his religion to use birth control? Would that be an acceptable reason for refusing or would he have to violate his beliefs because some idiot wants something?

      See how this works?

          Sounds great until the other chefs are out sick and some “idiot” (again, your words) orders something on the menu.

          Having principles can be tough, but the time to exercise them is when choosing a job in the first place.
