Good for MAC This decision is right on. I can’t help but applaud this ruling. Maybe retailers will take notice and follow suit! Make sure you won’t be around alcohol or pork or dogs or whatever else is a problem for you before you take the job!

Pharmy smarmy Swiftee: Cab companies are privately owned too. Nice try, but no difference. Religion is religion, work is work. If pharmacists don’t want to dish out contraceptives and AIDS meds, they shouldn’t have entered that field.
