'Provocative' and 'inflammatory' Halloween outfit causes HR headache for Tesco

Halloween may only last day but, for HR, an issue around inappropriate fancy dress can last much longer.

Tesco employee Mary Holtz turned up to work on Friday in Airdrie, Lanarkshire, dressed as ‘Big Momma’ from the film Big Momma’s House. She was subsequently sent home after shopper Natalie Fitzpatrick complained.

If HR had fully equipped staff with the knowledge of what is, and isn’t appropriate, would this have happened?
