Original Message
Tesco has issued an apology after a Muslim worker refused to sell a customer ham and wine because of Ramadan.
Mother-of-three Julie Cottle went into her local store to stock up, but was left stunned when a checkout employee insisted he couldn't serve her.
She told the Brent and Kilburn Times: 'He pointed at the ham and wine in my basket and said "I can't serve you that because I'm fasting".
'When I told him he should be serving customers not turning them away he still refused telling me to go to the self-service. I was furious.'
The supermarket giant confirmed 'the colleague would be spoken to' but refused to say if any further action would be taken.
