Make pyjamas acceptable in supermarkets on Sunday mornings

[BoxingHare]

It's Sunday morning. I'm jimjammed up. Warm and cosy.

But on the spur of the moment I want eggs and bacon for brekkie so need to go to the nearby supermarket.

AIBU to think that, whilst nightwear in supermarkets is an abomination at all other times, on a Sunday morning, cut off time 12pm (so only a 2-3hr window) it could be socially acceptable for people who also wake up on a Sunday morning and randomly decide they want something a bit more exciting than their usual fare to go to the shops* without having to get fully dressed? Or is it a slippery slope?

*food only, I'm not suggesting full scale wandering about town!

I object on the grounds that when I’ve had to queue behind people in pyjamas, they always, frankly, smell of overnight bums. Revolting. Wash, and dress in something suitable, for the sake of fellow shoppers, please.

It’s not that. It’s because it’s not normally a clean pair is it, it’s the pair that’s been slept in all night (and however many previous nights). It’s dirty and smelly.

Ah, I fondly remember the most amazing PJ bottoms that were so comfy, plain charcoal, yoga-pants style so I could just stick a big winter coat over and no one was the wiser. Perfect for the winter school run.

Alas, I wore them so much I burned a hole in the thighs and they had to go.

YABU to not specifically buy plain PJ bottoms and a big, long coat for precisely this reason.

Streaky bacon is rubbish when bought from a supermarket try some good quality butchers or farm shop streaky .Always make a trip to a good quality butchers before Christmas for the good stuff

YABU. I never want to see nightwear in supermarkets, it is completely inappropriate. This country is down-at-heel as it is and you want to make it even worse? Just no.

The very idea of going outside my home unwashed is horrifying good lord .How are people not embarrassed

Whoosh delivery from Tesco or Uber Eats grocery delivery - no need to get changed at all!

Oh, I’m sure it’s better than the supermarket stuff. But the same applies to back bacon purchased in those establishments, so the quality differential remains.

Never acceptable - Do you cook on PJ's? Assume you must then wash afterwards as can't imagine going back to bed with bacon smelling PJ's

Tbh I don't think I've ever seen anyone wear identifiable jammies in our local ASDA.

It's situated at the end of town where people are probably more likely to condemn jimjam wearing!

No get dressed I wouldn't do this

YABU to not specifically buy plain PJ bottoms and a big, long coat for precisely this reason.

You're right, my cosy jimjams have either reindeer on them or partridges in pear trees.

So it wouldn't even be seasonally appropriate for me to wear them to the supermarket now.

Oh no! I'm a grammar pedant too and autocorrect has sorely let me down this morning.

I'll have to self flagellate with the streaky bacon as punishment.

I'm beginning to think I should have showered, washed my hair, put on a completely new outfit, polished my shoes, valeted my car, and gone to the local farm shop instead.

I'm old enough to remember when you couldn't buy booze at all on a Sunday (apart from the local video shop/offie where if the owner knew you he would sell it to you under the counter). Then they changed it so you could buy it after 12 noon (once you'd been to Kirk).

Then for a brief window of maybe 2-3 years you could buy booze 24/7. Very handy because I used to do my shopping before work, just because I'm buying booze at 8am doesn't mean I'm about to drink it right away.

Then the SNP got in with their nanny state policies. So, even in the run up to Christmas, much as I'd like to get in and out of the shops before 10am, if I'm planning on buying alcohol for visitors, I have to wait till the shops are rammed.

Fuckers!

It isn't two hours where I am (England). I don't know anywhere that it is just two hours anymore.

Foundation every day for 38 years certainly would.

You are alive, posting on Mumsnet. This is your day.

You couldn't get a sentence like this out of me under torture. Do actual adults think/say stuff like this?

Just nooooo - it will make many people think you’re a lazy slob (I would) and you’re bound to run into someone who you don’t want to see in your jim-jams 🤣

It ranges between 1 and 2.5 hours here depending on the supermarket, but the .5 hour is only for browsing.

This is true!

Agree. Back bacon is better

Not seriously, I don't think!
