A supermarket giant has got shirty over topless shoppers.
Tesco has introduced a new dress code in its Cardington Road store in Bedford following complaints of ‘offensive’ topless customers browsing near fresh-food.
Visitors are met with a notice warning they face ejection by security guards if they enter the shop without a ‘top’ on.
The new rules advise those browsing the shelves to wear a ‘t-shirt, jumper, vest, etc’ but has not been introduced to the town’s other store in Riverside Drive.
A spokeswoman for Tesco said: “During the summer months, we do sometimes receive complaints from customers who are offended or have concerns about other semi-clothed customers around fresh food in our stores.
“We therefore have a commonsense approach to this issue and our store staff use their discretion to balance the needs of all shoppers.”
