WARSAW, June 29 (RIA Novosti) - A popular clothes chain in Poland has announced that it will hire only Jehovah's Witnesses, national media said on Monday.

The unusual work requirement was announced by the Occasion chain for its staff in shops in Lodz and Warsaw, the Gazeta Wyborcza has reported.

A spokesman told the newspaper that Jehovah's Witnesses made the best workers in their shops as they were conscientious and had no bad habits.

"We had an employee before who said he was member of the Jehovah's Witnesses during an interview. He did his job very well. He was nice and frank and customers liked him. No one left the shop empty-handed," the spokesman said.

The Jehovah's Witnesses group was founded by Charles Taze Russell in 1872. Its members believe that the end of the world is imminent and that only those faithful to their creed will be saved.
