A girl who went to an interview at boots claims she was stopped mid-interview because she "wasn't dressed conservatively enough".

Rosie, who describes herself on Twitter as a potato enthusiast, says Boots didn't even let her finish her interview because of the way she was dressed, even though she was dressed very conservatively indeed.

Know what you're thinking "top looks fine, but maybe she's wearing something weird on her lower half". Nope.

Just an ordinary, conservative, skirt.

Ms Reilly was attending an interview at Boots Opticians when she was stopped mid-interview. She had previously tweeted that she was excited to be going to her interview.

But that didn't last long. Later, the self-described "marathon napper" tweeted this at Boots.

Hi @BootsUK. I wasn't allowed to continue with my interview today because I wasn't dressed "conservatively enough". I thought I looked nice! pic.twitter.com/dB8OerYQND

@keefymc @BootsUK they said they couldn't continue to the 2nd part as it was on the ship floor and I wasn't appropriately dressed

I'm v cross with @BootsUK staff that made personal comments about my gfs appearance at her interview & upset her. Will avoid shop in future.

She's received a lot of messages of support from strangers, who say that her looks were easily conservative enough for Boots, and that her image shouldn't matter anyway.

@rsiereilly @BootsUK you should have at least been allowed to continue the interview and given a chance to prove how capable you are

@rsiereilly @BootsUK You literally couldn't look more professional in this outfit, I think this might be some v sly homophobia ........

It's not like Rosie didn't have non-conservative choices of clothes either. A while ago, she designed this beautiful broach (her aforementioned pinned tweet).

Here you are @David_Cameron. I hope you enjoy 💕 pic.twitter.com/9BUQnM0iWy

Other former Boots workers said that this attitude towards appearance is typical of Boots as a company.

@rsiereilly @BootsUK Remember years ago when I worked for them, a girl "failed" her appraisal for not smiling when no customers around!

@stonefaction @BootsUK WHAT?! That's bloody ridiculous!

— Rosie (@rsiereilly) March 6, 2017

@rsiereilly @BootsUK We said that too. Told she didn't look "approachable" - even though there were no customers on shop floor at the time!

— Barry Farquharson (@stonefaction) March 6, 2017

Boots say they are investigating the matter.

@rsiereilly I'm sorry to hear this Rosie. We would like to get this investigated, would you be able to DM us with your contact details 1/2
