There is something really wrong with people who need workers to be not just competent, but slavishly fake-happy. "Slavishly" used on purpose, bc that's where this grotesquerie comes from.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

To qualify as a 'philosophical belief' under the Equality Act, the belief must satisfy the five criteria set out at para 24 in Grainger plc v Nicholson [2010] and mirrored in the Equality and Human Rights Commission Code of Practice 2011. These are that:
The belief must be genuinely held
The belief must not simply be an opinion or viewpoint based on the present state of information available
The belief must concern a weighty and substantial aspect of human life and behaviour
The belief must attain a certain level of cogency, seriousness, cohesion and importance
The belief must be worthy of respect in a democratic society, not be incompatible with human dignity and not be in conflict with the fundamental rights of others.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:noqaydlcbia5upq6va2p2znw/bafkreidbknxirxpcidqg6kgd7ejugwdwzncsxcm7foh6wxc5rf5qbs6pny@jpeg)
