Why on earth? What does it matter to fellow shoppers if other people wear pajamas? Is it such a huge difference between leggings and pajama trousers?
I think this is just people looking to be outraged when they have nothing better to do. |

You do realise it's a massive jump between not caring and outrage? Just because someone doesn't like something or disagrees with something it doesn't mean they're outraged.

Following complaints, apparently there are moves from Tesco to impose a dress code to discourage people from shopping in their stores, wearing night attire.
Are they right to do this or is it going too far? ![]()

I suppose it depends on the type of area your store serves as to whether it's commonplace in that shop or not.

I often wear my onesies to walk the dog, I just pop my coat over.
I have not been to the shops in them as I never just pop anywhere and normally out for the day rather than a short trip They are not my nightwear though as dont wear anything to bed, they are the clothes I wear in the day when staying in.. Im not really sure what makes PJs any different from go out clothes. |

The manager in our local supermarket has put notices up at the cash tills to say anyone wearing PJs will not be served. This was quite funny as people would do their shopping and then get to the till only to be refused service

People can wear what they like, and people can think what they like! If I saw people shopping in their pjs I would think they are lazy, with no self respect.

I'd definitely draw the line there, as I think most people would be put off by that sight. Not so sure about PJ's and/or dressing gowns though. I reckon the majority might think that a tad controlling.
During the hot weather last year, there was a huge fat hairy man, wandering round ASDA topless. Not a pretty sight, I can tell you. Just to even things up, there was a huge woman in a cropped top at the same store. An equally unpleasant experience. There isn't really anything else going on when someone chooses to go shopping wearing their pyjamas and slippers other than sheer laziness or attention-seeking. Really - how much effort does it take to put on (for example) a pair of jeans, a top and a pair of shoes in order to go to a public space or premises? Very little. How difficult is it to put on a t-shirt or shirt to go shopping or to sit in a bar or face? Not very. So if it's not laziness, it's probably attention-seeking instead.

That maybe true of your reasons for doing something. But im sure not everyone does things for attention.
People do things for many reasons. I know a year ago or so it was fashionable so i'm told so maybe it still is for some or some behind the times or some don't give a shite what anyone thinks and just cant be bothered to get dressed or that is how they do dress when not going anywhere important. Must just be laziness after all then. |

So, you wouldn't be troubled by the sight of a man strolling round the chilled section of the store, wearing just his underpants that he wore in bed the night before?

Here's an article from last year in the Independent about the issue.

Where on earth do you live. I have never even seen this phenomenon and yet you see it everywhere. Either you spend way to much time watching other people or you are making this up or you live in a place that I cannot even imagine.
So either the poster lives near me or it happens in different parts of the country! I have also seen people in the supermarket in their dressing gowns but I put this more down to the fact that the supermarket is next to the hospital and people have nipped in! The worst I have done is walk the dog in my nightie but with jeans and coat over them. This was simply for convenience as I wanted to shower for work AFTER walking the mutt. Oh and I have also picked my OH up from the pub like this too when he's said he'd walk home and changed his mind when I'm already in bed. I don't think their should be a dress code though unless people are wearing just their underwear or swim wear (or I remember once reading that people had gone to Asda in their speedos and bikinis which is bit much! )

This debate has been going on for years and I don't understand why it keeps flaring up. A quick flick through these reveals a lot.

Why would you complain unless outraged? You don't complain if you don't care, or are bemused, bewildered etc. You complain because you do not like something and cannot ignore it in case it happens again . Sounds like outrage to me

As long as they're covered up, i.e not indecent, what on earth has it got to do with anyone else what they're wearing?
Some people need to get a life. |

Not sure why this is news - my local Tesco banned people shopping in their PJs about 8 years ago (pretty sure there was something in the national press at the time about Tesco bringing in the ban in all stores?). Quote:
I really can't see the problem if I'm honest. I've seen people walking round Tesco in shorts and sandals with no top on in the summer, so I don't see how someone walking round in full PJs and a dressing gown is worse than that.

How would you know they had worn the underpants the night before in bed? Unless you were peeping through his bedroom window?
So, if we allowed night attire to be considered acceptable, it would mean that if someone challenged that man for shopping wearing only his underpants, he could say "ah - but this is not just my underpants - this is actually my night attire".

Well, unfortunately that's the problem when it's determined that anything is acceptable in all circumstances.
There isn't really anything else going on when someone chooses to go shopping wearing their pyjamas and slippers other than sheer laziness or attention-seeking. Really - how much effort does it take to put on (for example) a pair of jeans, a top and a pair of shoes in order to go to a public space or premises? Very little.

So if it's not laziness, it's probably attention-seeking instead. ![]() But as I said earlier, it doesn't especially bother me, as supermarket shopping is something to be done with military precision, in - collect articles, pay and get out in the fastest time possible. Not an activity I much care for. So I don't really notice other people that much. I've even unintentionally walked straight by friends, colleagues and my sister, brother in law and niece before now, without acknowledging or speaking. |

I would never go out in pyjamas. I don't even go to put rubbish in the dustbin while wearing them so there's no way I would wear them out. I think it's disgusting and unhygenic.
