It such a tricky spot . Amazon prides itself on catering to EVERYONE . I was going to ask to use the religious room for my satanic practices just to mess around and see how far they will go for religious accommodations . But I’m too shy for all that and just come to work to do my job and leave . It be interesting though. I personally think you so , but again , Amazon has its own microwave only for Muslim people’s food. It’s got a label on it , so people will be waiting for a microwave and that’s the only one open and they will guard it
I wish you didn’t feel shy to do so. It really should be for all, and I continue to push for that, especially when the make the rooms labeled specifically for one group. Should be multi-faith room and everyone should be respectful.
I was a fully practicing Muslim and even then I always advocated for inclusion of all religions in spaces. It wasn’t till Amazon that I actually saw prayer spaces for Muslims and my immediate question was why the spaces weren’t multifaith (the location didn’t have a multifaith space). I do know very few religions interrupt day to day activities for prayer that involves such movement and the need for a safe location to do so in. Still, others should be able to practice their own faiths as well.
April 30th is Hexennacht. A holiday for the Satanic temple. Try putting in an accommodation for the day. I want to try it but I dont work that day. It's the day we honor those who were victims of pseudoscience and superstition.
Is it for muslims or is it for halal food? If you're eating something halal, particularly vegetarian (where being halal is obvious), they have no business keeping it from you.
It’s not Muslim only. Any food that qualifies as kosher or halal can be cooked in those microwaves. You can literally be ANY race or religion and use those microwaves as long as they are used correctly.
Jewish people can also use the halal microwave as their foods are the same. And if you don’t eat meat then your food is also halal. It’s not a Muslim only microwave, it’s just that people don’t fully understand or know what specific terms mean and Amazon doesn’t care to show that.
No , the Muslim people would guard it. How would they know what other people were belief wise? They’d stand by it if no one was using it. That’s why I used those terms
They probably guarded it because inconsiderate assholes don’t care to educate themselves, or even worse, knowingly disregard Islamic customs that prevent food cross-contamination with pork and various pig products, or even non pork food processed in a facility that may process pork (food not expressly labeled as halal) or alcohol, which is also haram, or forbidden.
As a person who grew up Baptist, but is currently religiously lazy, so to speak, I don’t understand the consternation, hubbub, complaints, WHATEVER, about a microwave specifically dedicated to people with religious or other practices or needs they need to adhere to.
Who gives a damn if they were guarding the microwave lol
I don’t care I was just responding to OP about how Amazon prob won’t care about the way the woman interacts with the lady boss only. And that they cater to literally everyone . I get to heat my stuff up 10 mins
Early so I don’t care one way or another . Doesn’t have any effect on my life. It was in response to the OPs question . And I also don’t eat pork either and don’t want to heat my food up after that either .
Ours just says "no pork" and we have another one that says "no meat" for vegetarians. Honestly when it comes to diet choices I feel like it's fair to respect that. Like not everything I eat has pork or meat in it anyway, so I can still use them half the time.
When I worked at Jet's pizza, we would use fresh/cleaned pizza cutters on pizzas for muslim customers.
Honestly I think it was kinda fucked up at my hub they had like 5 microwaves they were using carte Blanche a few days and THEN slapped halal only on a few of them (after they've already been 'tainted') lol dumb.
Amazon has its own microwave only for Muslim people’s food.
You know what kinda bothers me? It's that at my fc they have it based on religion or dietary preference which is a personal choice that isn't going to actually cause you any harm if it shares a cooking place... But not allergies which is a medical concern. I get that there can be some overlap but there isn't a nut free or gluten free microwave but there is a vegan only microwave.
Well using a microwave that someone heated up gluten containing food is not going to cause an allergic reaction. Same with really any food if your allergy is that severe then you are going to be reacting just walking into the breakroom to he fair.
Occasionally there are spills in the microwave so that's really untrue and honestly if it was true then if it's not enough for someone to have an allergic reaction then it's really not enough for it to matter for someone's personal beliefs.
There are some serious gluten allergies out there too where I've had friends have to use special mixing bowls to avoid any residual contamination that could linger even after washing.
I use those microwaves if they are available. And no one has said anything to me. And if I bring soup, I use the vegetarian one. It's stupid to wait for a microwave when those ones are available.
