Cab drivers refuse passengers with alcohol

A growing problem at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International airport is making it difficult for some air passengers to catch cabs.

Some cab drivers are refusing to take passengers because they are carrying alcohol, such as bottles of wine or cases of beer, which conflicts with their religious beliefs.

"He loaded our luggage into the trunk, he saw our box carrying duty free liquor from Jamaica and told us he would have to take another cab,” says passenger Greg Kline.

Kline did not easily find another cab.

"We approached the next cab in line, he just closed the cab and took off without a passenger, as did the one next to him,” he says.

Airport staff say Muslim drivers have refused to take passengers with alcohol 922 times in the past year.

3. therefore non islamic drivers can refuse muslims

and jewish cab drivers can refuse christians, and lesbians can refuse all men, or vice versa.

maybe cab drivers can refuse pharmacists.

or they can park all day in an empty cab and expect to be paid for doing nothing?

4. This is just really wierd

I mean, this is like the pharmacists who are refusing to fill bc prescriptions.

What did they think would happen during their jobs as cabdrivers? Why are they in the US if they object to people with booze?

:wtf:

I mean, I know its their own economic bottom line, but this is just really bizarre.
