Mum Told 'You're Not Allowed in Tesco' for Wearing 'Exposing' Top in Heatwave

Tesco said it was really sorry after the incident, which went viral and drew more than 53,000 likes and comments online.

  • On June 26, stay-at-home mum Alixe Galatis was challenged at an Essex Tesco branch by a security guard, who claimed her backless top could be "untied" by shoppers and leave her "exposed".
  • Temperatures reached 37C that day, leading the mum-of-three to wear the black v-neck top; Galatis noted she had visited other shops earlier without issue.
  • Retrieving a gym sweater from her car, Galatis covered the tie to complete her shopping; she claims the security guard shook his head with "disdain" upon her departure.
  • Following her viral post, a Tesco spokesperson said they were "really sorry" and "this should not have happened," while the post garnered more than 53,000 likes and comments.
  • Her nine-year-old daughter has become worried about her mother's clothing choices, Galatis said, prompting her to avoid the retailer during future heatwaves.
