Thought Experiment

Thursday, 3 Betteroff 2005

We see that a Target pharmacist was allowed to refuse to dispense contraception because of their religious beliefs. We also notice that Target executroids have defended this decision.

We were just wondering: what do you think Target's reaction would be if someone went into one of their stores, filled a shopping cart (or two) with products, and then, once their purchases had been rung through the register and the cashier asked for payment, the consumer said something along the lines of "It's against my beliefs to support corporate sponsored religious intolerance" and walked out of the store? What would their reaction be if this happened in multiple stores around the country?

To any brave souls who are willing to perform this experiment, we would humbly request that you let us know in the comments (or send us an email if you try this after the comments are closed - we'll add it ourselves into the comments in such a case) how it went. And thanks for playing...
