    BTW just because you are observant

    Doesn't mean you would know more than the already established regulations. Either a place is Halal or it's not. It's not a 'mostly' sort of Halal. Because if it's not in any small way, it's not Halal at all. Period. Though I can appreciate the nature of not having people come work who stuffed a ham and cheeses sandwich in their pocket.
