I think the Target situation is a little less clear than the taxi drivers. If indeed taxi drivers must be licensed by some Governmental authority to carry passengers, they should have to carry any law-abiding passenger. While they may be private contractors they are providing a public service. As a comparison, isn't it against the law to refuse service to someone because they are black? There is nothing unlawful about being black. The same should apply to someone who decided to have a drink on the airplane or in the airport bar before climbing into a cab. Their conduct is not unlawful unless they are intoxicated to the point that they could be arrested.

A person working at Target is in a private arrangement with the store, which could include an agreement that the employee would not have to handle pork. That would be between them. If Target decided that employment included a cashier role, then they would have to handle anything coming across or find another job.
