Maybe you've considered going to the store in something less-than-prudent on an exceptionally hot day -- perhaps a too-short skirt or an especially revealing top.
Just don't go to Walmart if you plan on finishing your spree in the outfit.
Sandy McMillan had to learn the hard way.
The Oregon resident decided to go to her local Walmart in a string bikini top on Sunday because of the 90 degree weather, and ended up with her face (and her impressive bikini bod) all over the news.
But she didn't get pegged for dress code violation. She says an employee told her to put a shirt on because she was violating "health codes."
McMillan's sister, Karla Vogt, told KVAL News, "I was horrified. I am embarrassed. We just walked in, straight over to the clothing. It's wrong. If you don't like the way someone looks, don't look at them."
McMillan added, "I hadn't done anything obnoxious or outlandish."
KVAL reached out to Walmart to get their official stance on the issue.
A spokesperson for the company claims McMillan was actually approached by an employee because she was verbally abusing customers, and that she was not even asked to leave.
Despite their claim, they still apologized.
"We can understand her frustration," the spokesperson said. "It was not our intent to offend the customer, and we have apologized to her. We have also reinforced with our associates our expectations of how to handle these matters."

Maybe SO but THAT woman made me go blind..
ROFLMAO..
Below is a joke
DEAR LORD, THIS YEAR YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE ACTOR, PATRICK SWAYZIE. YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE ACTRESS, FARAH FAWCETT. YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE SINGER, MICHAEL JACKSON. I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW, MY FAVORITE PRESIDENT IS BARRACK OBAMA. AMEN
Do agree that the woman (?) is dressed like she's ready for Halloween. The article did say the customer was being verbally abuse to the customers. It amazes me that people dress like that and then claim that if people 'don't like it, they don't have to look'.........well, it's impossible to not look at that, so they feel justified acting like a goofball.
Now, we have very few people of walmart moments at the northside store, but ours tend to be limited to women, wearing high heels, short skirts and not enough fabric to cover either the top half or bottom half. OR grossly large women who bought clothing a few sizes too small and wear it anyway.
Of course, I don't think they'd be so quick to boot her out (the hypocrites) if she looked more like this ...
Very true.
