Mom humiliated for being “embarrassed” in the restaurant for the “inappropriate” crop top.

A mom was humiliated after she was kicked out of a pizza place because her crop top was “inappropriate”.

Emma Prince, 34, was furious when the situation unfolded on the hottest night of the year.

The mother, who was with her young daughter, said the manager confronted her and said she was not welcome inside.

He told her that the ASOS crop top she was wearing was a bra that wasn’t “appropriate” for the restaurant.

But Emma said it was definitely a crop top she wore during last Friday’s 30-degree heatwave.

Mom said she was forced back into her car to put on a T-shirt when she was allowed into the beer garden in Wolverton, Milton Keynes.

She and her two-year-old daughter, Penelope, ordered food but waited over an hour.

Speaking of the humiliation in front of the other diners at Stonehouse Pizza and Carvery, Emma said her attire was appropriate.

Emma said: “The manager said he couldn’t go in because he was only wearing a bra.

“I explained it was a crop top, no underwear and it was 30 degrees outside.

“He told me ‘it’s a restaurant and it’s our policy’, so I asked to see the policy and dress code which says there are no shorts.

“He didn’t show me anything, but he kept looking at me from head to toe and saying, in a very condescending way, ‘it’s not a top’.”

Emma, ​​owner of The Vanity House beauty salon in Bletchley, had a friend with her who also wore a crop top.

He added: “The manager said it was good because he had thick braces. Mine had thin straps.

“However, it was still a crop top, bought from the clothing department instead of the underwear department.”

Emma had a T-shirt in her car and had to wear it, despite the heat, to cross the restaurant to the garden.

Once in the garden, the mother was told she had to keep her shirt.

She ordered food for herself and her daughter, who was hungry after being picked up in kindergarten.

The mother said: “There were men in the garden without shirts.

“I couldn’t understand why I was being discriminated against for wearing a shirt that showed my belly. It didn’t feel right.

“People came to me and understood me, saying how tough the coach was.

“I was boiling in my shirt, but I was afraid that if I took it off and sat on it, I would be expelled.

“I didn’t want the confrontation in front of my daughter.”

Emma and her friend ordered the food at 6:20 pm, but by 7:30 pm it still hadn’t arrived.

He explained: “The people around me were getting their food, but ours was not going to come.

“My friend had brought some food for her and her son, but my daughter was getting hungrier and angrier.

“Eventually I gave up and had to take her to McDonald’s.”

Emma then asked the Stonehouse restaurant anonymously on their Instagram page, asking for details about their dress code.

The answer came saying, “The dress code is wearing what you feel comfortable in.”

She said: “I am overwhelmed and disgusted by the manager’s attitude and the service they gave me.”

Emma continued: “She discriminated against me and my dress.

“I want to speak on behalf of other women because I think we have the right to wear clothes without being judged.

“Obviously, if I went to a fancy restaurant, I wouldn’t be wearing a crop top. But it was a pub with a beer garden on a sunny day! “

Stonehouse Pizza and Carvery is owned by Mitchells & Butler.

A spokesperson said: “Any decision on the dress code is at the discretion of the restaurant manager.

“We would like to apologize for the delay in our service.

“Due to the weather, we had an incredibly busy day and our team was a lot busier than usual.”
