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?

How does that make sense. When my old comfy clothes wear out, I always stick 2 seasonal pairs aside rather than throwing them out. When I go to hotels, I use those as pj’s (for 3 nights in a row in summer and 5 in winter). I roll out of bed, and go down to breakfast. I am ‘dressed’ as I wore it to bed. I wear hotel slippers, and if hotel does not give free hotel slippers I have some from previous hotel that did. I am not ‘sent back to my room to get dressed’.

After breakfast I then go back to room, shower, do face/hair/teeth and get into fresh clean clothes for the day.

Why should people wearing pj’s to eat breakfast be sent back to their room when you have people sitting there in ‘clothes’ that have been used as pj’s. Makes zero sense.

Pyjamas - I sleep in a tshirt & shorts. You’d never know if I’d slept in them or not.

I usually skip breakfast in PI type places, & if it’s a nicer hotel I might treat myself to room service, but just because I’m not wandering in in a Garfield nightie doesn’t mean I’m not wearing whatever I slept in, if I do head down for the easy buffet option.

Some hotels do have a dress code, which will filter out the scruffy types. Others find their business model works better if they let guests wear whatever they like.

Either way - they are probably not going to tick off other paying customers because you don’t like their morning dress code.

I’d just be filing under ‘didn’t like this hotel, scruffy types in pjs, won’t book again’ if it bothered me that much.

I used to be appalled. Now, as long as someone is decently covered, hair tidied, presentable - it’s really their choice. Pajamas. Meh.

Those of you who are saying it's unhygienic are not answering those asking why?! What is so dirty about pjs?

This has been a topic of discussion on Mumsnet for at least the last 15 years, it isn't a modern phenomenon.

Having seen people in obvious bed onsies in supermarkets and restaurants nothing surprises me anymore.

Not something I'd do though.

Not something I would do or enjoy seeing. I think it is slobbish.

Hotels themselves should put a stop to this when it happens, even Premier Inn or Travelodge. Why can't they when many hotels around the Mediterranean manage to ban beachwear in their restaurants with no obvious issues? They need to publish clearly that certain things are not acceptable if slobbishness is an image they want to avoid.

Get showered and dressed before coming down to breakfast. Surely that's basic.

I'm not one for dressing up posh, I'll come down casually dressed in jeans/shorts and t-shirts with cardigan/jumper as appropriate, but I am showered and dressed at least.

Last year we went away and our flight was cancelled after we'd checked in, so our case went awol for 24 hours. I had bought a top at the airport in the hope I wouldn't need it, but ended up sleeping in it and then running in it the next morning before retrieving my case later that day. So I agree with the pp who said you don't know what people have slept in.

Also, how do you know they haven't washed?

I don't consider breakfast at a hotel as properly public though. It's like me taking my rubbish out, or the bin out, in my nightie without having a shower. Someone in the street might see me, I don't care. When I actually go out properly I'll be showered and dressed.

Face and hands? I know plenty of people who only shower at night. I wake up relatively clean. I'm not that sweaty

It's horrible, especially the bare feet. I rarely make a fuss about things but, in this instance, I would complain to the hotel at checkout. I'd also tell them that I won't be staying in their hotel again (which I wouldn't).

Same 5 star Mauritius hotel. Indian family came to breakfast every day in nightwear. Totally unacceptable but if the hotel doesn’t prevent it what can you do. No one follows a dress code these days.

Would it bother me? No
Would I be inwardly judging them for being a slob? Yes. 😁

Not a fan myself!!!

But a hotel breakfast is different. You'll be mingling closely at the breakfast buffet and sitting near to other diners.

You are being precious. Who cares what anyone wears to breakfast unless they sleep naked

I agree people should wear appropriate footwear in public spaces, and coming bare feet to a hotel restaurant is not okay.

But I do need to understand the repulsion of bare feet to this degree. Please explain why sight of bare feel make you want to vomit but not the shoes which have been to all sort places including public toilets some of them are not clean that regularly especially in cafes, departmental stores.
So why don’t you vomit seeing people’s shoes which have more germs than feet?

Are you feet very dirty or smelly? You should be washing your feet everyday and each time wear fresh socks. Feet won’t look or smell repulsive.

This. Why on earth didn't the staff say something? And also say something about their rudeness?
This behaviour is only allowed to continue because the staff allow it.

Why wouldvyou conside them a slob?
Everyone is in their jammies before they get ready
They are just having breakfast before they get ready

Can’t we go back to the days of dressing beautifully and formally? Bring back Downton Abbey!

Have seen it a few times, the loudness would bother me, as it's hard to ignore but what they were wearing is of no interest.

They are definitely lazy for not atleast changing their clothes before going out of their room to eat breakfast.

No not crazy, just aware!

Being barefoot absolutely has health and safety concerns. It's way footwear is required in most places. Some thing falls or tea is spilled, the risk of damaged is reduced by footwear.

Similarly, being barefoot means that anything on those feet, athlete's foot, verruca can be passed on - gor example if a small child was sutting or playing on the floor.

You really don't think a health inspector or H&S officer wouldn't have an issue with it.

And everyone's naked when they get out of the bath, but they don't go out in public until they get dressed 🤷‍♂️

Totally unacceptable whatever the hotel. I wouldn't even expect to see this in a premier in/travel lodge type place.
