Woman furious after she’s kicked out of Wetherspoons for wearing ‘inappropriate’ top

A young woman has expressed her fury after being thrown out of a Wetherspoons pub for her ‘inappropriate’ clothing.

Twenty year old Mollie Wood had gone to The Back of Beyond Wetherspoons branch in Reading with her friend, Amy Lee, for some food and drinks after watching England’s Euros match against Croatia on Sunday, June 13th.

She said she and her friend were escorted into the pub by a female bouncer after showing their IDs and signing into the Track and Trace app.

However, as they were walking to their table, a male member of staff suddenly intervened, Stoke-on-Trent Live reports.

Mollie, a tech worker, and her friend were walking through the pub when a male manager shouted for them to stop, allegedly telling them that they can’t come in and that they’re dressed too inappropriately.

When Mollie asked why her clothes were inappropriate, the manager, who is believed to be in his thirties, informed her that he’d been kicking out topless men all day, and that her top was small enough to be classed in the same category.

Despite Mollie and Amy quizzing the manager over whether there was a dress code, they apparently couldn’t get a straight answer.

Mollie later looked into whether Wetherspoons actually maintains a certain dress code, but claimed that she couldn’t find any reference to one.

She also said she had already been served in that pub earlier in the week while wearing the exact same halter-neck top, pictured above. 

The women later returned to the pub to complain about how they’d been treated, but Mollie claimed to be met with only more rudeness by the staff members. 

A Wetherspoons spokesperson has since addressed the incident, saying: “Shortly after entering, the customers were politely asked to leave the pub as, on consideration by the pub’s management team, their dress was not, in this particular case, in accordance with the company’s guidance to pubs on appropriate customer dress.

“What may be considered appropriate dress is invariably a matter of individual judgement and whilst no offence was intended to the two customers by the request to leave the pub, we support the approach of the pub’s management team in this instance.”
