A young woman said she was kicked out of a Wetherspoons for wearing an "inappropriate" top.
Mollie Wood says she felt humiliated after being asked to leave the pub by a male manager.
The 20-year-old claims the male employee said she couldn't be served because her cleavage showing was "equal to a man being shirtless".

She said he told her that he'd refused service all day to blokes without tops.
Mollie and her friend Amy Lee, also 20, were dressed in black halter crop tops, ankle-length skirts and trainers as the country basked in 28C heat, reports the M.E.N.
The tech worker explained how she and a pal had headed to The Back of Beyond pub in Reading, Berks at 8pm on Sunday.
The pair wanted to grab some food after watching England beat Croatia 1-0 in the opening Euro 2020 match.
She said both she and Amy were let in by the female bouncer where they also checked into NHS test and trace and showed their IDs before heading out to the garden.
Mollie said: “We got half-way walking through the pub when a male manager shouted for us to stop.
"He said ‘You can’t come in here, you're dressed really inappropriately and it isn’t suitable. You can’t be wearing a top like that'."
And when Mollie questioned him as to why her clothes were "inappropriate" he reportedly told her it was "because that’s like a man being topless and we’ve been kicking topless men out all day."
Mollie explained how she and Amy quizzed the manager over the dress code, but couldn’t get a straight answer as to whether there was one.
Mollie said she later researched online and could not find anything that pointed towards a Wetherspoons dress code.
She added that she had also been served in the same pub earlier that week, wearing exactly the same top.
Mollie said: "I was just really embarrassed.
"We’d been in four pubs earlier that day and never been denied entry.
"I told him how sexist it was to compare me to a topless man.
“I was wearing a top. I wasn’t topless.”
Mollie said she left the pub feeling totally embarrassed and reeling from what she felt was blatant sexism.
But after discussing with Amy and calming down away from the pub, they both decided to go back and complain about the way they had been treated.
But when they arrived and raised a complaint, Mollie said she was met with more comments and rudeness.
She said: “He was holding the bridge of his nose and huffing, and he turned his back to us when we were speaking about it.”
Mollie explained how they also asked the female bouncer why she let them in if they were dressed so “inappropriately,” but didn’t get a straight answer either.
She said: "I’ve got a larger chest. Even if I wore a turtleneck you’d still see a very noticeable shape.
“My boobs are always going to show because I have them and there’s nothing I can do about that.”
Mollie said she was further shocked after sharing the video to TikTok and receiving a barrage of comments from women saying they had experienced similar things at the well-loved pub chain.
Wetherspoon spokesman Eddie Gershon said: “Two female customers visited the Back of Beyond pub in Reading on Sunday evening at approximately 7.40pm.
“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.”
