Primark shoppers threaten boycott over national policy row as woman left in tears

Shoppers are threatening a boycott of Primark after a woman was left upset as a result of an in-store policy people are calling 'disgusting' and 'dangerous'. The woman was left distressed when two men entered the changing room in which she was trying on clothes.

As reported by MEN, the customer, a young woman named Charlotte Kirby, posted a video on TikTok and looked visibly distressed as she shared details of the incident. Following a backlash, a Primark spokesperson told Express.co.uk the outrage was the result of a female customer’s experience at one of the retailer’s fitting areas, where she said two men walked in on her while she was getting dressed.

Since Charlotte’s video was posted on social media, angered shoppers have attempted to reach out to Primark to criticise its changing rooms. Many on social suggested the company was putting women at risk of violence and indecent sexual conduct from men, but others defended the change as a positive move.
