Tesco Store Bans Shoppers Wearing Pyjamas
A Tesco store in Cardiff, has banned its customers from entering the supermarket and doing their shopping either in pyjamas or barefoot.
The Tesco Extra store in St Mellons has implemented a dress code, and put up notices at the entrance, as it seeks to prevent customers from doing their shopping wearing nightwear, which the retailers says makes other customers feel a tad bit uncomfortable.
The sign reads: “To avoid causing offence or embarrassment to others we ask that our customers are appropriately dressed when visiting our store (footwear must be worn at all times and no nightwear is permitted).”
The store says it felt it was compelled to take action, after experiencing an increasing number of shoppers, and in particular younger ladies, showing up to the store to do their shopping whilst wearing dressing gowns and slippers.
A Tesco spokesman said: “We’re not a nightclub with a strict dress code, and jeans and trainers are of course more than welcome.”
“We do, however, request that customers do not shop in their PJs or nightgowns. This is to avoid causing offence or embarrassment to others.”
A number of the store’s customers welcomed the decision, with one customer quoted as saying shoppers who failed to bother wearing adequate clothing “could all do with a kick up the backside”.
adding: “I’m fed up with them. When I spoke to one girl about the fact she was barefoot in a shop with food in it, she swore at me.”
Another customer however became the first victim of the ban, and was escorted out of the store for wearing pyjamas and said “If you’re allowed to wear jogging bottoms, why aren’t you allowed to wear pyjamas in there, that’s what I don’t understand. It is ridiculous and stupid. I go in other shops in my pyjamas and they don’t say anything.”

So I am guessing that rules Hugh Heffner out from visiting the store then.
Sounds quite silly. Young girls go in half naked the clothes they wear never mind wearing pyjamas. That can be uncomfortable with some people too. Then theres goths, punks, smelly people and the likes. So where do you draw the line? People are quick to judge which is a shame. I like the diversity of people
And Huge Heffers by the sound of it as well.
There should be a minimum dress code for common decency its true but pyjamas are really not much different to skimpy wear or swimwear, if any clothing exposes those body bits we dont want to see then its offensive to some. Are pyjamas any different to loose fitting joggers or sari’s really??
Smelly work men and women contractor in paint spattered and ripped working overalls and clothes, should not be entertained in shops.
Its about personal self respect and dignity with a consideration for other people. These people who dress in this way and shop may have lost some of this and have low self esteem, and it is saddening, but society asks that they should still dress themselves in an appropriate way when they go out. I think body odour is probably the most off putting and people who are exceptionally smelly with excessive body malodour should be escourted out of public places immediately.
