A grandmother has vowed never to return to a Wetherspoons pub after being refused entry for wearing a Union Jack dress. The incident has sparked a heated debate over dress codes and national pride.
What Happened?
The woman, who has not been named, was turned away at the door of the pub for her patriotic attire. Staff allegedly told her that the dress violated the establishment's dress code policy, which prohibits clothing deemed 'offensive' or 'inappropriate.'
Public Outrage
The decision has drawn criticism from patrons and social media users alike, with many calling the ban excessive. Supporters of the grandmother argue that the Union Jack is a symbol of national pride and should not be considered offensive.
Wetherspoons' Response
Wetherspoons has defended its policy, stating that the dress code is in place to maintain a 'family-friendly atmosphere.' However, the company has faced backlash for what some see as an overreach in enforcement.
Grandmother's Stand
The grandmother has stood by her choice of attire, stating that she will never step foot in a Wetherspoons again. 'I wore it with pride, and I won’t be made to feel ashamed,' she said.
