Multiple outlets report that a UK mother, Alixe Galatis, says she is stopped from entering a Tesco supermarket during a heatwave because of what she was wearing. Galatis, 31, visited a Tesco branch on June 26 with her children to do a food shop during unusually hot conditions, described by the reports as a record-breaking or around 37C heatwave. According to her account, a security guard told her she could not enter while wearing her backless, tie-back top with thin straps. She says the guard indicated the top could be untied by other shoppers, leaving her “exposed,” and that she was asked to change her outfit before entering. Several sources describe her as being turned away despite her intention to shop, and one outlet says she left in “horror” at being stopped. The reports focus on her description of the incident; they do not provide a Tesco statement or independent confirmation of the guard’s reasoning beyond her claims.
