Working in companies that have some Haram activities : working in a shop that deals with Haram

Fatawa Question

Dear Dr. Monzer, Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh, I live in UK. I have one part time job (Halal. But the Halal income from this job is not enough to bear the expenses for my family that I'm planning to have very soon In Sha Allah (Planning to get married to a British Reverted Muslim soon InShaAllah). So, I'm searching some other better paid job which will generate Halal income and benefit me and my family in worldly life and life hereafter. I just have got job in a general store (selling groceries, Bottled Alcohol, Pornographic Magazines, General Newspaper, varies food etc.) where alocohol and pornographic magazines are also sold to its customers. My job role at the shop will also include to work at till machine to take the price of the bottled alcohol and pornogrphic magazines (includes nude, sexually exciting pictures) from the customers. For this work at the shop (as shop assistant), I will get paid some money on hourly basis. I'm not sure whether the earning I will get working at such shop will be Halal or Haram for me. As I always try to be a good practicing Muslim and keep on trying to follow much every day to be close to Allah and get Janna, I want to make sure my income would be Halal I will be grateful if you please address the issue and help me take right decision Islamically (whether to take the job opportunity or search for some other job) to please Allah.
