Clunes TV ad contradicts Tesco's PJ ban
Hi, I just saw the above mentioned article on Digital Spy and thought the comments were pretty funny: Quote:
Tesco has been criticised for banning shoppers in pyjamas in light of an advert for the supermarket which features Martin Clunes in his jim jams. I just thought I would share it on the whole, but also see what others think about shoppers in PJ? Do you think it is right to Ban them? Are you a PJ Shopper - why do you do it?The Men Behaving Badly star was shown in the 2007 TV commercial running into the store for some milk, clad only in his nightwear. A shopper told The Sun: "Why is it OK for posh Mr Clunes, but not for normal people like us?" Tesco spokesman David Nieberg said that the irony was not missed, however he added that the commercial was not meant to reflect reality. "Another ad shows a shopper getting picked up in a hot air balloon - and we do not provide parking facilities for balloons," he said. Discuss ...

I dunno what to say really, I didn't know people wandering about outside in their nightwear was so prevalent.
They were usually escapees from old folks homes or psychiatric units years ago. |

Bet they'd quickly change their minds if their customers refused to purchase any of the nightwear they sell.

What seems to be strange is that I have heard them argue that they are clean - not the bed clothes they went to bed in. They got newly laundered out - had a wash got dressed in PJs and then went out. I can say I am definately not a fan of it, I just find it lazy and a little unhygienic (although it evidently not since they do get washed and dressed). I see mum's pushing prams down the street wearing PJ bottoms and a coat. You obviously live in a good neighbourhood

I just love the quote from the article about the hot air balloon - you could just see the smile on his face when you said that

It actually goes on quite a bit, hence the banning I guess. But its mainly youngsters although I have seen a few older people at it too.

The only situation I think it can be allowed is if your in a Tesco 24 sleepshopping I think it should be allowed.

I'm just upset that when I popped to tesco's for a pint of milk in my hot air balloon the other day, there were no parking facilities available, so I had to go elsewhere.
I wasnt in my Pj's though. |

Can't see that it's any more unhygenic than somebody walking in off the street whose just spent 10 hrs working in a fish market or a solicitor whose been sitting in a sweaty suit in an office all day - or indeed the child in front of you sitting in the trolley with a pooey nappy.

Would it be acceptible to wear pajamas if you are wearing underwear? Are other unclean or sloppy outfits banned?

No I see your point but I just feel that when you get up from bed you have a wash before you go out - just the way I been brought up I guess. But I don't get up from being in bed and off out.
I just think it's hypocritical. They're quite happy to accept the money for the clothing but don't actually want customers to wear it when they're in their own store. They should maybe stop designing it so it doesn't look like jogging bottoms.

I am not sure if underwear is banned - in the summer when it was hot I did see a bloke in Tesco with the shortest shorts and a pair of flip flops on and thats it, it wasn't a pleasant site for me but he did not get escorted off the premises so I guess thats acceptable.
I don't they have banned any other types of clothing other that the dreaded "hoody" and Pjs. I don't necessarily agree on the banning I just personally not a fan and won't be encouraging my Daughters when the time comes . |

Surely there is nothing offensive about wearing PJ's? Even if it's sexy ladies ones you see more flesh on display in the summer, Tescos aren't going to ban shorts or skimpy tops. Wearing them out shows people you're a bit of a lazy git that couldn't be bothered to get changed but isn't it up to the person what they wear out?

I'm too busy trying to avoid children and remember where they keep the veggie chili to notice what anyone's wearing! |

Just trying to play devil's advocate

They should maybe stop designing it so it doesn't look like jogging bottoms. (as I said earlier some girls have said they have a wash and put on clean PJ bottoms to go out in - which makes my point invalid) I just don't like it not going to stop others wearing them though (Tescos have taken care of that for me hehehe)The PJs that look like jogging bottoms I guess they will get away with it but it is the ones that do seriously look like PJs that can't I guess. Not a fan of the Jog Bottoms though either - I am fussy with my style

Unless they are breaking decency laws I think Tesco will have a hard time enforcing the no PJ's rule. Its up to them who they allow in of course, but are they really going to ask their front door security to eject someone wearing nightwear? Seems a little unreasonable. Not that I WANT to shop in my PJ's you understand, with or without my hot air balloon, but I think that if other people want to, they should be able to. |

A lot people have said they have never noticed which I guess is a good thing but here in the North West I can say it happens a lot. The fact that Tesco has Banned it shows that there must have been more than one or two. I like food shopping so maybe that is why I notice because I spend a lot of time doing it
