In Pajamas? No Tesco For You!

while i think forcing people to submit to any sort of dress code is oppressive and wrong, people who wear pajamas to the store need to grow up or die, so i’m cool with this.

i have a pair of hard tail pants that are plaid, ill wear those with a pair of comfy boots and a plain t shirt, is that considered pajamas? i think its just too vague, and i do disagree unless the pajamas are unappropriat… its a grocery store, what does it matter?

It’s only vague sometimes, Jennie, and in those cases (like what you describe) they probably wouldn’t enforce the rule. There’s a difference between plaid pants with boots and a t-shirt versus white pajama bottoms covered with teddy bears and a pair of Winnie the Pooh bedroom slippers.

Where I’m from, almost every store has an old battered sign that says:

No Shirt
No Shoes
No Service

I never though of this as oppressive. I don’t think I’d be upset if my local stores stopped allowing PJ wearers, maybe because my PJs are too scandalous to leave my bedroom much less my house.

C’mon ladies, If you sleep in it dont wear it to the store. How hard is it to put on a pair of jeans?

Wait a min… I do recall seeing young guys wearing sleep bottoms around town as well, but far less to be honest. Its usually sorority girls who think they are cute.

i never understood this fad to wear your PJs at school, shopping, work or wherever else you think is best to wear PJs. aren’t PJs meant for sleeping in?

Chicks in their PJs look like either 1. whores or 2. lazy beyotches who need a shower. Not only is it tacky, it says “I’m not really employable.”

I’d be fine if they went a step further and tasered these morons for simply being morons.

I work out of my home. I get dressed every morning, do I have to? No. Why do I bother? Because I may have to go outside for some reason or another that and nothing says lazy like Pjs. I dont know how many times i have seen people in W M in Pjs and all that comes to mind is “Wow to lazy to even get dressed”

There’s a big difference between pjs and lounge pants. Looks like she is wearing lounge pants to me. I don’t have a problem with what people wear as long as nothing we don’t want to see is showing.

Dear Sweet BeeJeeBus!!! BAN THEM!!! And for Flying Spaghetti Monsters sakes do NOT wear them in a BAR!!! Already seen it…..whywhywhyOwhywhyhwy….I hope there is some sort of connection between wearing PJ’s out in public and the onset of Agoraphobia. There, I said it…..

I sometimes crawl off my stained mattress after a heavy night of drinking and go to the store in my perjammers. Everyone else at the trailer park does the same thing. I scratch my ‘roids in public, and urinate in potted plants at the mall. What is the big deal as long as I am happy? Mind yer own beeswax please.

Can we visit the idea that people are grocery shopping barefoot?
I know in other countries this may be allowed, but we have a strict “No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service” policy around here.
Why would you want to walk into a store with out shoes. You could step on any number of things. This is a very bizarre idea for me.

PS, I’m with the never going out in public in my PJs group.

Oh, these are the same sort of people that used to turn up to call-centre work in PJs, and I do not mean fancy dress days: regular work days. Come on!

A place of business has the right to any dress code they like, but if it were my grocery store, I would allow for PJ’s at the appropriate “bedtime” hours. One would expect a new parent with bloodshot eyes slumping into the store at 2AM for diapers and a bottle of pain killers to be beyond niceties such as daytime clothes. If you are at the store at 2AM, then you are not among the decent people of the world, anyhow. And I completely agree that a pregnant woman in her last trimester or postpardem should feel completely justified in wearing comfy pants and soft slippers anyplace she pleases, at any hour.

I agree with most of the posters here: PJ’s anywhere outside of the house is just laziness. It should be discouraged.
If it was another public place it would be wrong:
Office, School, Post office, Court, Bar/Pub

PJ’s are for bedtime not for walkin’ around time

curlers in your hair shame on you

So I am still allowed to turn up in a dressing gown and a pair of shorts like ‘The Dude’? Cool!

I don’t see what the big deal is. Pajamas that people wear to the grocery store are normally just a t-shirt and elastic or draw string cotton or flannel pants. What’s so offensive about that? Not much different than gym clothes or hospital scrubs. But somehow not wanting to change out of the pj’s that you’re going to change right back into when you get back home is lazy? I call it efficient. And I’ll see you at Ralphs..in my pj’s!

LOL I live in Shanghai and HALF the customers here wear their PJ’s! I never thought people did it elsewhere.

Women are the main offenders. I think Im jealous sometimes. I have some comfy pj pants that I would love around town but it just doesnt seem appropriate. Maybe because men’s PJs have a fly. Im not even a fan of sweat pants or workout pants in public. Im not going to tell you what to wear but Im going to secretly judge you

The fad for nightwear in public represents a breakdown of societally accepted conventions and formalities. It’s wrong because it’s the same selfish attitude as that which is responsible for the rise in knife crime. If we cannot respect ourselves and our fellow citizens, everything falls apart.

There’s a difference between wearing nightclothes in public at night due to an emergency, and wearing nightclothes in public during the day because you have no respect for your community.

HAHA! pathetic…. if i want to go to tescos with my pijamas, am i the kind of person who will be embarrassed?…. and will i care if other people are embarrassed for me? get some nuts tescos,anyone would think your mission statement included the phrase.. politically correct

As long as people are appropriately covered, I don’t care. I don’t want to see any excessive amounts of skin, but other than that I don’t see the problem. I mean the people who are walking around in printed pajama pants are really only damaging their own reputations.

None of my pajamas really look like pajamas, I basically sleep in workout clothes. Especially since I’m in college and I have dance classes, I’m not going to wear jeans all day just to change back and forth for dance.

So I’ll see you at the store in my yoga pants and t-shirt. But if you respect yourself at all, leave the ducky printed pants at home.
