Tesco apologises as customer claims she was 'kicked out for wearing tie-back top'
Tesco said it will contact Alixe Galatis after apologising for the incident, which happened as temperatures reached 37C and her children were with her.
- On June 26 in Essex, a Tesco security guard denied entry to 31-year-old Alixe Galatis, claiming her backless, tie-up top left her "exposed."
- Temperatures peaked around 36 degrees that day, prompting Galatis to wear the lightweight top; the guard refused entry and rejected her request to purchase a replacement.
- Galatis eventually entered by draping a gym jumper over her shoulders, though her nine-year-old daughter now believes the top was inappropriate for public wear.
- Tesco apologized, stating, "We are really sorry to hear about this experience. We want everyone to feel welcome in our stores and this should not have happened."
- Reconsidering her shopping habits, Galatis plans to avoid Tesco during future heatwaves, questioning whether guards should focus on potential harassers rather than customers' clothing.
