A young shop assistant has quit her job at Poundland after her bra was searched by bosses at the till, in full view of customers and staff.

Naomi Scott, 17, says that she was left humiliated by the incident, and didn’t even receive an apology when bosses realised that she wasn’t stealing from the store.

Recalling the incident, the teenager, who earned a mere £3.91 an hour, described how a female supervisor ordered her and two colleagues to pull their bras forward to check if they were concealing stolen cash under there.

‘She said, “We need to do a bra search”’, Naomi recalled.




‘She asked two or three of us to pull our bras forward.

‘They must have thought we were stealing money.

‘It just shows they don’t trust their staff. I’ve never stolen anything in my life. Then she just walked off, there was no apology. I was in shock. It was disgusting. I was embarrassed.’

Unsurprisingly, Naomi quit the store in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, just four days later.

A Poundland spokesman said: ‘This was a highly regrettable incident.

‘We have taken steps to ensure it does not happen again’.
