Tesco ban pyjama wearing shoppers.

[Disenchanted3]

I wouldn't goout dressed in my PJs

but is it really 'offensive' to other shoppers?

I give a little but it doesn't affect me in any way.

IU wonder if those velour lounge suits are classed as PJs?

I've done the shop on a Sunday in swimsuit, towel, flip flops and jacket (shellsuit!)

I reeked of Chlorine, and had just finished teaching.

Had minutes to get from work to tesco and finish - was already 15.50...

Got what I needed, paid, left. Saved a good hour doing it this way. Wouldn't recommend it and was a while ago - was a FT student, doing a couple of jobs and a disertation. Time was never on my side I openly admit I looked a state - not just the clothing but was sleep deprived also!

After this "emergency shop" and seeing the time saving I repeated as needed until the end of dissertaion as uni was over (except the last exams) and I had more time.

I have also gone to the airport (drop off) in my pj's and had breakfast in the services on the way back like it. Both my friend and I thought we were the funniest people in the world at the time.

I miss these times...

I prob wouldn't do it now, as I have no excuse, its 24 hour these days!

Accordint to my workmate, who lives in St Mellons, it's the Chavs who wear their PJs to shop in.

I remember when I was a student, we were playing poker and my friend lost a lot , so she had to go to our local 24 hour Tesco in PJs and bathrobe with curlers in her hair (at abou 11 at night). We were pissing ourselves the whole way there and back, whereas the shopworker barely batted an eyelid. He said he saw that sort of thing all the time, so wasn't fased

I live in the valleys and frankly its accepted. Three to four times a day i will see someone in co op, shopping, walking dogs, driving, visiting relatives/friends nearby, mother and baby group, all in in pjs. I have even been done the local pub on a friday night and seen pjs being worn. Everybody knows everybody else and doesn't seem to mind. Your always a stone through away from the house whereever you live. I was a bit shocked at first but well each to thier own right?

No! it's horrible. It's just so fucking lazy...GET DRESSED

When we were in New Zealand and Australia several years ago loads of the locals went shopping and driving their cars in barefoot

This wasn't at beach resorts it was all over the place and in shopping malls

When I lived in Canada ~ my boss who was Australian always drove the car barefoot but would wear shoes outside and just take them off to drive ~ she said she could feel the pedals better

People go to mother and baby groups and walk their dogs in their pyjamas!!

evanshayleyleanne-really ?? normal pj's not lounge wear that looks like sports wear.
Unbelievable.

I remember my granfather being shocked that men went out without a hat on.

Maybe our children will think it's normal.

Tis lazy imo.

I know lots of people who drive barefoot. Tis strange but not as strange as people who socialise with things they have slept in.

RTKanga!! I agree. Am an aussie and in Summer, people regulaly go barefoot to the malls, shops everywhere (NOT school tho) Also sometimes in swimwear (usually with a towel over)

Pyjamas - meh. I woulnt but whatever floats your boat!!

I'm always saying that I wish I were a dog. Just shake in the mornings and you're off. None of that faffing around washing and changing and thinking up something to wear and whether it's clean blah de blah. Oh, to be a dog.

Frankly wearing pjs to the shops is a bit slovenly, but there are worse things. Topless men. I actually complained in Tesco and they put a sign up. I had the traumatic experience of brushing against something furry - and it was a back! Urrrgghh! And I agree with visible thongs. Bleerugh. I'd rather someone was in a dressing gown than showing off their sweaty bum.

Nickelbabe No, it's nowhere near any uni campus - it's in a 'less desirable' area of Cardiff. Quite frankly, pyjamas are probably less offensive than the other gear the local customers wear (all the stuff previously mentioned on this thread)

It's either massively lazy or affected and attention seeking.

God, people who do things like this might as well wear a big sign round their neck saying "prat".

I looked at this thread because the other day I saw for the very firts time a young woman walking into a local shop in her PJs. I was passing in a car so didn't see if she had shoes on. I shocked myself by staring and being a bit shocked if I'm honest but wondered why I felt like that after, as there isn't anything wrong with it really. These PJs were quite "decent" they were warm looking tartan ones and the more I thought about it, the more I wondered why it mattered. After all it is a "top" and "joggingtype" bottoms.

Years ago there was aman who lived opposite who was a retired lawyer and spoke with a very posh accent and he was a bit eccentric and always went to the paper shop in the morning in his PJs and dressing gown. I remember thinking it was a hoot.

I have always gone in the garden in my night clothes and when we had new neighbours I never gave a thought to chatting to them over the fence in my nightwear. It was only years later when we knew them really well that they said how shocked they had been in the beginning that I didn't seem to be bothered about having a conversation in my nightie.

I am left wondering why we are bothered about people shopping in PJs - maybe it says more about us than the people in the PJs.??

LOL LOL LOL

If this is national policy their Litherland store will be out of business within the week

There's a lot of it about up here in Liverpool. Freshly ironed pjs mind, with perfectly applied makeup and straightened hair. Usually young girls - I think it's a power statement - I own this place, it's my front room, I'm so at home I don't have to get dressed.

God, have to admit to dropping off DS1 at school today in pjs (they are new sporty looking PerUna ones - does that count?) though did wear boots and jacket and did drive right up to gate. Been up last few nights with seriously sick kids so that's my defense.

Used to pop to the garage next door in PJ's and shoes and coat to get DH his nightly choco fix cos he used to moan and drive me crazy till I got it.

Was shocked once to come out the local pool (Scotland, so hardly tropical) to see my Oz visitor (thought she had got ready helluvafast) sitting in reception ready to go home in cossie, towel, boots and roll up fag hanging from mouth (no stereotypes there then!!)

Right! I have just timed myself taking off PF bottoms and putting on jeans: 12 seconds.

Nobody is so busy they don't have 12 seconds.

I'm really disturbed (and slightly obsessed by this. It's just so Waynetta Slob.

I think it was 9dragons who posted about pyjama o'clock in CHina, after which time everyone does everything in their very neat, matching pj's. Much preferable to men in no shirts, anyway.

i never went shopping in my pj's even when I was a student

actually i didn't own any pj's, so maybe that's why....

did see someone in the local corner shop a while ago in a very short nightie, and barefoot
I was shocked to my very core

What do the liverpool girls with their ironed PJs (lol) and ironed hair wear on their feet? - Uggs? Slippers? Swarovski encrusted sandals?

Still a very common daily sight here. Usually with full face of make-up and 'done' hair. It baffles/disgusts me.
I always can't help wondering if they've had them on in bed that night...

Wearing PJs out is just icky, saw a girl in the shop the other day in PJs,dressing gown and slippers,sooo lazy.
Even when it snowed one lazy-arse was out in PJs and slippers,greasing round in the snow.
Not entirely sure why I find it offensive though, maybe just because I imagine them sleeping in them,then rolling out of bed and posing a threat to hygiene everywhere.
Maybe i'm just jealous at being a slave to convention and feeling the need to get dressed.

The day after a recent pyjama thread on MN on which I nearly typed I had never seen this erm trend before I went to our local asda supermarket and saw my first pyjama wearing shopper. Completing the slept in look with tatty bed-hair.

Inside I was like and .

It wouldn't occur to e to go to the supermarket in my jamas though I will wear any old thing to go most places.
