A pair of shoppers at a Walgreens in Wisconsin said an employee refused to sell condoms to them on religious grounds — something Walgreens said is permitted under its policies.
Pentz also tweeted the couple's customer service response to Walgreens, which said the employee"embarrass[ed] [her] in front of other customers because of her reproductive choices." "Our policies are designed to ensure we meet the needs of our patients and customers while respecting the religious and moral beliefs of our team members," the spokesperson said."The instances are rare, however when a team member has a moral or religious conviction about completing a transaction, they are required to refer the customer to another employee or manager on duty who will complete the transaction, which is what occurred in this instance.
Cashiers are allowed to refuse service to anyone. Also, a company can't refuse to hire or fire someone because of their religious beliefs. To fire this employee would violate their first amendment right and so does forcing them to make the transaction. Common policy
Religious hypocrisy. I'll bet those same clerks have no religious issue against checking out overweight people buying soda and candy etc. The rules are all cherry picked and people shouldn't have to suffer someone's personal nonsense at a retailer. Gluttony
Go to Walmart self check out..Problem solved.
Are condoms behind the counter at Walgreens, or the US in general? If so, do Walgreens not have automated self check-outs? I'm Canadian. Here I would just grab a box off the self and taken it to the self check-out.
No need to go to Walgreens for condoms. Just order them from Amazon. Amazon is a judgment free condom shopping experience...and there is no religious nut job to interact with who will tell you that you're going to hell for wanting to prevent pregnancy.

Fanaticism rears it’s ugly head again… Walgreens you are on the wrong side of history.
READ 1st: The instances are rare, however when a team member has a moral or religious conviction about completing a transaction, they are required to refer the customer to another employee or mngr on duty who will complete the transaction, which is what occurred in this instance.
The employee used their personal views to represent the Walgreens brand. I never heard of a brand allowing employees to do that. Walgreens will lose business for these actions
Use self checkout lol
Walgreens should remove the items or fire the employees
Seems dangerous. Say 'no' to the wrong customer, who may be having a bad day or whatever, and end up in the hospital. Or worse. Why risk life & limb for Walgreen's ? Just don't work there.
So just steal them lmao
Why is there a store policy that allows an employee to refuse to sell your products?
. I wonder how consumers feel about a company that allows clerks to make store policy using their own personal beliefs. .
Meanwhile...
And Walgreens refused to pay his paycheck on grounds of stupidity.
If the employee won’t sell Walgreen’s products they shouldn’t work there. This isn’t hard.
Walgreens change your policies and start firing people like this
religion is mental illness, i woulld never shop at a business owned by crazy people
Had similar happen 2 me walgreens. Went 4 condoms, was told no by cashier. Called my friend, pretended he was my lawyer on retainer. Asked if I had a case 4 them denying condoms since I am jewish & my religion supports the use of BC. Before I could finish, MGR rang me up.
Dear Walgreens: What's better? Contraception or MURDER via ABORTION? Grow a brain.
I need to get a job at Walgreens so I can refuse to sale bacon.😂😂😂 our country is done
They done lost their minds
Ah yes..... Religious people. 🤣
That employee should have referred the customers to an employee or manager who would or maybe Walgreens (& other companies) needs a hard lesson in economics: As long as they support THEIR employees dictating OUR sex lives WE ALL SHOULD BE GOING ANYPLACE OTHER THAN WALGREENS.
Ummm
Hopefully in the future, people will just steal them when confronted with this dilemma.
Then why is Walgreens stocking condoms?
Put a couple of bucks on the counter and leave. Pretty simple.
So… they’re free?
There should have been an 11th commandment. Thou shall keep thy religious bullshit to thyself.
This is just religious republican BS!!!! They are taking this nonsense to far for f**king nothing…🤬
elizabeth_joh Adios Walgreens !
Can’t the employee just wear a tag saying “I’m a religious elitist and won’t sell condoms to anyone”? This way people may avoid said cashier?
They have self-checkout. Someone is fishing to sue, smh
Bye Walgreens you'll never get one more cent from me... Not one.
Smhhhh
But sure, Twitter banning Donald, that's oppression. Conservatives man.
Shouldn't there be a sign on the window. No condoms sold by religious people
They also refused someone birth control, claiming she had no refills. Walgreens is a joke.
Stop supporting these shitty chain pharmacies, Shop at a locally owned one, You'll save money and you'll actually be supporting real people instead of a heartless corporation.
Then get someone else to cash me out.
When they show you who they are, believe them. Walgreens I’ve moved to a mom&pop local pharmacy. They mind their own business.
What kinda weirdo does this? If youre so weird that a condom transaction bothers you, perhaps go work for your church or some shit.
Backward-ass country.
DWPscumbags You retweet the weirdest things Norman 🤡
I’m going to make sure every patient I see knows about this policy when I’m Rx’ing their meds.
I find this hard to believe. Why have condoms on the shelves if they refuse to sell them!?! Smells like more left wing propaganda to me. If it is at all true I would have just moved to a different cashier or pulled a “Karen” and asked for the manager to ring me out. 😂
Why shop there? Retailers with poor customer service should not be rewarded with your business. Your purchases pay their salaries. Don’t forget that.

We had to dig deep today to find something to keep liberals fuming.
