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.

    Look, first of all, I don’t adhere to any religion or “made-up rules” regarding food. I can respect anyone as long as they don’t force me to do something I don’t want to do. However, respect is always a two-way street. If the owner/manager hires someone who is Indian/Muslim/Italian/Japanese, the manager is expected to respect his/her beliefs and not expect him/her to violate those beliefs. If a customer wants something unusual and the establishment is willing to accommodate, everyone’s beliefs and wishes must be respected. Chefs, waiters, and other employees are not slaves and must do as they are told. It is the manager’s job to make that happen for the customer without violating the employees’ beliefs. Pineapple on pizza is a rare thing and a pizzeria can afford an Italian chef and at the same time satisfy its customers if the manager is a little flexible / smart. If every second customer asks for pineapple on pizza then an Italian chef is not qualified for that job.
