To be in two minds about Tesco's dress code?

[GetDownNesbitt]

Yes yes to security guard who told a bare chested guy he could not come in without a shirt on

No no to the reason he gave 'It's health and safety'

Our Tesco have a sign outside saying shirts to be worn and ladies must have more than a bikini top on. It is a good idea because you dont really want to be leaning over the cold meats and end up with a bare chest and armpit in your face!!

Some people really do need to cover up in public places though

yabu, sweaty soaked apples anyone?

Totally agree GetDown

yes, he was right to tell him he couldn't come in.

But feck knows what it is to do with Health & Safety. Real Health & Safety I mean.

What do you think the security guard should have said though, bearing in mind that he had to try and convince the idiot that thought it was acceptable to go around Tesco withnoshort on?

Withnoshort? You know what I mean

I dont suppose the security guard can say 'your an ugly swaety bloater please for gods sake and decency put some bloody clothes on because your moobs will scare small children and the elderly'

they should also ban the wearing of pyjamas in the shops

'It's health and safety'

I agree - it is bad for my health to see as it may give me sleepless nights

it is not safe for my dd to see as it may give her nightmares

I think it is spot on

I can see why Tesco do it as I can imagine (judging by some of the sights I've seen this week) that customers are probably put off their food by acres of flesh that really are best kept to the confines of beaches, gardens etc (therefore less profit for Mr Tesco)

To be fair, he wasn't fat or sweaty...

Why not just say 'put a shirt on, we don't want to look at your chest'

Ridiculous to claim that a no bare chest policy has got anything to do with health and safety.

In fact you could claim that they're endangering his health by forcing him to stay out in the sun without a top on, thus increasing his risk of sunburn....

They should just say that Tesco has a dress code, imposed by the management, if you don't meet it you can't come in. And if you don't like it, feel free to write in and complain.

So what if a guy doesn't have a shirt on? Or if a woman only has a bikini top on?

Some people need to get out more if this is an issue.

They'll be asking us to wear hairnets to go shopping next.

I think it is an issue..I get out loads!

Reminds me of something the other day, was sat at traffic lights next to Greg's and a woman went in in her bikini!!

Tesco should just say because its common...thats reason enough

He could burn himself on a cooked ham from the deli...those things are lethal!

Given the amount of packaging on most of the stuff in Tesco's I couldn't care less if they let people in stark naked. It might amuse the children and stop them bickering long enough for us to actually do a bit of shopping

Some of the sights I've seen round here in the heatwave have not been pretty at all! I'm no twiggy but I realise it and don't go round in tiny shorts and bikini top thank goodness say the neighbours or mini dresses. You see people dressed as if they were at the beach to go round town or the supermarkets. It's inappropriate. I'm not suggesting we should all wear burkas but there must be a happy medium.

Tesco brought in a "dress code" a couple of years ago apparently to prevent shirtless men, bikini tops, PJs and bare feet. Have to say though that I have often gone in to my local Tesco superstore without shoes and have never been stopped so I don't know how strictly it is enforced.

misslinnet I love you . You talk sense

I saw a guy in our local Co-Op a few weeks ago in pyjamas, at half two in the afternoon. As I walked past him and looked back, I then noticed the arse was ripped out of the pyjamas. Thankfully he had pants on.

Well if they had an offer on chicken thighs,the sight of pale clammy skin can be a leetle off putting :o
