See, I don't understand that...all jobs have basic requirements.
Some jobs say that you must be able to lift 50 lbs. Are we going to let someone claim she can't lift 50 lbs for religious reasons? A company has the right to reassign a worker that can't complete the basic duties of that job.
Now Walmart will have to come out with yet another legal disclaimer for their prospective employees: "If you accept this position, you AGREE to handle and scan ANY PRODUCT we sell in our Walmart stores." .....including guns and pork......
