RGS writes  ... If a Jew works as a cashier for a supermarket and another
Jew asks them to ring up some bacon, saying it's for breakfast, what's the
halocho?

since they can buy it thru another cashier, it's only an issue of Misayei'a
(as you wrote) - not a d'orasisa

I assume one could rely on those that hold that there is no issur of
Misayei'a with non shomer shabbos (ayin shach)


a more difficult situation that once came up was where BY volunteers at the
local hospital/old age home were asked to help feed the residents. 
can they feed (ma'achil b'yadim) trief food to the Jewish residents?

(RS miller told me they cannot feed mamash trief)
