AIBU to think hotel breakfast in pyjamas is not acceptable?

[Nextones]

AIBU yo think that adults should not arrive at the hotel breakfast in their pyjamas?

we’re staying in a city centre hotel. Nice place- nothing fancy, with breakfast included.

thus morning, 2 young women (prob early 20’s) came down to breakfast wearing short pyjamas, barefoot- clearly just out of bed. They were loud, and not overly polite to the staff either- “where are the plates” etc. just brash and abrupt.

Im generally not a fussy person but this sort of thing feels like a lowering of standards to me. I don’t think we saw stuff like this 10-15 years ago.

AIBU to think that this is not acceptable?

Yes this is what I thought.

Only the hotel itself and the staff can set and uphold the standard of behaviour it expects.

And if one of them had cut their foot on something, the hotel could be looking at a claim.

I’m surprised the hire didn’t send them away. I would think it in the hire’s best interest not to encourage these low standards regardless of whether it is high end or budget: low class behaviour regardless of setting IMO.

I get why people dont want to wear them themselves i wouldn't do it, bit why it it unacceptable?

So they wear them to breakfast what do you want to do now about it? other than looking at them like you tucked a lemon?

Depends on the hotel. I stayed at the Ritz Carlton in Hong Kong and some dude in the members lounge would always walk around with slippers and a fancy robe... he treated it like his own personal living room... but I could tell he was rich rich and they obviously wanted his custom. But I guarantee if he did the same at Premier Inn people would be calling him tacky lol.

I'd give a bad hotel review on the state of the minority doing this. Staff don't care or are told not to say anything because of potential problems.

I've seen this before and staff don't seem surprised. I also see groups of young women drive to McDonald's late at night in pyjamas and go in the restaurant. To me this is even less understandable than just walking downstairs in a hotel.

I’ve seen this twice at InterContinental Edinburgh The George. Hotel staff said nothing. The hotel is very nice and great location, but we’re not staying there again.

Yes the h&s and hygiene comment made me raise an eyebrow too for exactly the reasons you mentioned. We once had a breakfast in a hotel after coming back from the 12 day hike early in the morning. I am sure we were much more of a hygiene concern than someone wearing PJs.

It's not new - you wouldn't see it 40 or 50 years ago but I definitely saw it 20+ years ago when my kids were young and we stayed in a lot of Travelodges, Premier Inns and similar.

Personally I don't care what other people are wearing as long as they are clothed. I want to be dressed and head out for the day but if others don't it's no concern of mine.

I don't see how PJ's are more unhygienic than trousers worn on the tube - the tube is filthy, bedding is changed daily.

Yuk - barefoot? I can’t believe the hotel didn’t send them away.

I think it's a little odd, but what is more odd is that what strangers (who are not even interacting with you) wear is affecting your day.

I’m not keen on pjs in public! But I can be a tad lazy and don’t necessary want to get washed and properly dressed so I wear sports clothes instead. I’ve popped to the nearby shop this morning in leggings and a t shirt and trainers. As comfy as pjs but far more presentable (in my opinion)

I think it's a generational thing actually. Young people are much more tolerant of pyjamas in public! I'd prefer it if they didn't but I can't get worked up either.

I think most of us notice what's going on around us. The OP noticed people who couldn't even be bothered to get dressed to eat in a hotel dining room.

This happened at the Hilton in Cardiff and the staff person told the woman she would need to change out of her pyjamas and into day clothes. When she returned to the restaurant she was wearing a form fitting Lycra top and bottoms. It was strange because it was like she didn’t know how to dress in public.

I truly do not care what other folk r wearing unless they r indecently exposed in inappropriate places ! I personally wouldn’t go to breakfast in my pyjamas but it’s no skin off my nose if other folk want to

Did she actually "yell"?.

Some of us can only afford a £60 a night hotel. I don’t see why anyone should have to put up with people in their pyjamas at breakfast. Manners cost nothing.

OP, you should have complained to hotel staff. I would have done. It’s not acceptable. It’s disrespectful and unhygienic.

I never saw my mum downstairs at home in PJs or dressing gown, which I think most people on MN would think was odd, even a bit repressed. Times change.

It's not repressed. It's just getting ready and sorted for the day.
I wouldn't do food prep or cleaning in my nightwear.

I agree. It doesn't matter about the cost of the room.

I've seen this two in a Premier Inns, the first one was a whole family and no one said anything. The second one the staff made the man leave, he became argumentative but did go. I think it's unacceptable, as is taking your kids to school or going to the supermarket in your pj's too. Being as lazy and antisocial as possible seems to be a badge of honour these days. People need to have a bit of pride.

It’s not acceptable.

Strangely, as I’m not sure why it should be different, it is acceptable in a youth hostel (although i personally don’t do it)

Slobs

Their mindset is that they are not hurting anyone. How would they feel if men were there also in pyjamas? Comfy? Or Tawdry?

to me it’s tacky and selfish, but I know to them they feel fully entitled to dress however they like. They make Wayne and waynetta look smart. Yuck.
