Sandy McMillin Allegedly Kicked Out Of Walmart For Wearing A String Bikini (VIDEO)

Walmart just lost what we imagine would have been a lifelong customer.

Sandy McMillin decided to take her bikini body to Eugene, Oregon's big box store to pick up some sour cream, chips and coffee creamer in 90-degree heat. And she told KVAL News that a Walmart employee approached her only several minutes into her shopping trip and gave her two options: put on a shirt or get out.

McMillin said, "I was horrified. I am embarrassed....It's wrong. If you don't like the way someone looks, don't look at them....I hadn't done anything obnoxious or outlandish."

While McMillin claims she was escorted out of the store, Walmart spokeswoman Ashley Hardie explained to the news station that the shopper was never taken outside, adding that McMillin "verbally abused" other folks at the scene.

Hardie added, "We can understand her frustration. It was not our intent to offend the customer, and we have apologized to her."

Besides, there's clearly no dress code chez Walmart. Don't these people know about this site?

I don't think it was the bikini top as much as it was the whole look in general: Overweight, tattoos, no hair. I can understand her not wanting to wear much due to the weather but perhaps a tank top would have been a tiny bit more appropriate. If it were Brooklyn Decker in a bikini top, I am sure no one would have been offended. At least, that is my opinion....

I don't see what the problem is. She looks as God awful as 99% of the zombies that wonder in and out of Wal-mart anyways.

I am not sure why this is considered newsworthy.

We have taken casual dress to far. Why would she think it was okay to be seen in a bikini in a public store? I am on Wal-Mart side on this one. I remember when your parents would be horrified if the thought you had a hole in your under garments.” Suppose you were stuck by a car and were taken to the hospital?” goodness forbid what the doctors and nurse would think. That I was taken care of you properly!”
People are such lazy slobs when it comes to dressing now days.

A shirt? I think she could use a hat. Not only would it complete the look better, but she should probably protect her head from the heat & sun.

Wal-mart should have politely given this women clear directions to the Zoo--and thrown in a chainsaw and some cigars...

There are no "health regulations" or codes in regards to shoes or a shirt for a customer. I have owned a few small businesses, and have letters from health departments, insurance companies, OSHA, & such. I always wanted to know myself so I wrote to them.

Thank you for your honesty. It is appreciated. So many have come on here pretending to "know" otherwise.

I don't want someone's bare stomach leaning over and grabbing food, items, etc. Shirt and shoes please, we are not at the beach. Doesn't matter about health regulations, it is called common courtesy to dress appropriately for everyone else. What next, bikini and thong in the stores? You must be one of those indivdiuals that makes the "worst dressed list" at Walmart blog.

My god whom of stories(trouble) for not much
I invite you has to come in France and you will be welcome
On the beach you can make of the topless and make shopping with an attractive bra of shirt. Tolerance tolerance
Au revoir .

She was seeking exposure, not only at Walmart, but, immediately after, she contacts the media. Gee, I wonder if an attorney was her next contact?

I do not care if McMillan looked like the newest Victoria's Secret supermodel if I had been working in a GROCERY store and she (or any woman) came in wearing a bikini top, sports bra type top or something similar I would have informed her that she needed to either leave the store or put on a shirt because she is violating the health code. If she gave me any grief about it I would escort her out of the building.

What this all boils down to is McMillan thinks her "rights" are more important than the rights of everyone else. In this case the rights of the public granted them by the law for reasonable protection of the possible contamination of their food by some one who is not properly clothed.

Which health code is she violating exactly? Curious, how does this differ from someone wearing a sleeveless shirt, and who draws the line on fashion? Customers don't typically violate health codes, it's the employees. Again, which health code is she violating?
