What is the ruling on working in a shop that sells alcohol and pork?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: May Allah bless you, I want to complain to you with this question. We have a person who takes a salary of one hundred and eighteen pounds, is that right?

The Shaykh : No, no, that is not acceptable. Now, he is being offered a salary of two hundred and fifty dinars. Oh. In a shop where alcohol and pork are among its sales. Stay away from it. But if he conditions them that he will not deal with these items. How do you mean he will not deal? Meaning he does not sell, does not buy, and does not write. And what else does he do? He works in the shop in the other matters, in the lawful. The shop where he wants to work in the lawful sales, is there no alcohol in it? There is alcohol and pork, but he conditions them that they will not deal with anything forbidden. May Allah guide you, why are you repeating the words? Why are you repeating the words to me? Yes, may Allah bless you. It is not permissible to work in this place,
then do not remain after the reminder with the wrongdoing people.فَلَا تَقْعُدْ بَعْدَ الذِّكْرَىٰ مَعَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ
[Al-An'am 6:68]
, I ask Allah after that, this is the evidence. Yes, indeed. It does not concern them, and peace be upon you, yes.
