Should There Be A Dress Code When You're Out Shopping?

ABajaninCork

Read this on the Daily Fascist Mail this morning.

It's not the first time Tesco have imposed a 'dress code', but in this instance I think they've got it spot on. If I were the manager of a supermarket, I'd also ban people entering the store in pyjamas. It looks lazy and slovenly. Surely, it's not too much effort to put on a top and trousers if you're popping out to the shops??

What do you think?

I think their money is worth the same as anyone else's.

I don't really care to be honest.

Dravokivich

They've kicked out people wearing pyjamas before hadn't they?

To be honest... I'd rather people go to the shops dressed at the very least.

The Backwards Man

On the one hand I agree. But if I'm on my way out of the bog clattered in muck from head to toe and I want an ice pop, should I be refused entry?

kingcobra

But sure pyjama-wearing people are doing you no harm!

GreenWolfe

No shirt, no shoes, no service.

Legs.Eleven

Who cares if you look lazy or slovenly if you're spending money? Isn't that all that matters?


I don't get why people are so bothered how others dress. I couldn't give a flying fcuk!

ew.

I'm not one for strict 'Dress Codes' as such. But I don't particularly want to see sweaty torsos and bare feet when I'm shopping thank you! And like I say, I HATE seeing young women wearing PJ's to the shops like a fashion statement. Please!! It just makes you look like you can't be bothered...

who really cares?

I don't like the idea of wearing PJ's to shops, so I don't wear PJ's to the shops, simples

Is it that big an issue? I can imagine it's only the odd person and in that case, you can just avert your eyes, no?

hoodwinked

when i have been on holidays in resorts ive seen similar signs on dining rooms/shops, where they say you are not allowed in if you are wearing just swim wear...etc...


i just figured it wasn't necessary here because its too cold most of the time.

Richard Hillman

Yes there should be. People walking around without tops on and in a pyjamas is unbecoming. Everybody should make an effort to dress respectably at all times.

I do and during the good weather recently, lots of people have been complaining about the riff raff walking around topless and in vests/wifebeaters

Toto Wolfcastle

They should make people wear sweat bands on their heads if sweat is the issue. A lot of people get very sweaty foreheads.

It's not. Just something I don't like to see. I added that bit as a BTW if you like. But I still agree that torsos and feet should be covered when shopping for hygiene reasons...

Well, it's their shop, and I doubt they did it on a whim

Sergeant

More attention should be focused on the causes behind why someone has such a lack of initiative and focus in their life that they consider it acceptable to appear in public wearing their PJ's

awec

This is a great idea.

Tbh, I can't click on that article as it's against my, like, principles n shit? Fair enough they're making people wear shoes because of hygiene reasons. Pjs and torsos personally don't bother me.

Are pyjamas worse than camel toe leggings or 'shorts' that are so short you can see a girls fallopian tubes? I don't think so.

Cookie_Monster

It's just another symptom of the gradual decline of society under the guise of personal freedom and the 'mind you own business' attitude.

Down with that sort of thing, wear proper clothes ffs.

AudreyHepburn

Wearing pyjamas out is to me a lazy dirty habit....it's not that hard to put on clothes in the morning.

I'm not for strict dress codes but people could at the very least get dressed before walking out the door.

muppetkiller

I actually think the worst offenders are those muppets with the new retarded baseball caps, I found out the name of them with the Google machine this morning "59Fifty" hats
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/59Fifty
That's my new pet hate for this year.

humbert

I think any business is entitled to enforce a dress code if they feel not doing so would hamper their business. Having slovenly clad yahoos loitering around the aisles isn't exactly appealing.

Laws on dress are another matter. I would be against that.

I'm not au fait with this trend at all as I haven't lived in Ireland for yonks....don't they have indoor and outdoor pjs?

I really can't imagine them changing into their outdoor PJs before leaving. Could be a very funny sketch though.

Apparently some do. Either way it looks disgusting and it's only associated with skangers. It's one of my pet hates and I really get more annoyed about it than I should!
If you see a couple of girls walking to the shops or around Tesco in their pyjamas, you instantly know they're ho-bags and probably own a horse that tied to a lamp-post somewhere.

This cap, a vest or some sort of MMA t-shirt, shorts (even if its cold) and tattoos.

Tbh, I think it's hilarious...though in fairness, I haven't seen it in TRL. Remember this?

A lot worse. But only if she's hot.

In Singapore i think it was, Pyjama's were symbolic of wealth as people couldn't afford to wear clothes with the purpose of them being for bed. SO as Singapore's wealth was spread through the lower classes with economic boom, people who were then able to afford and purchase pyjama's started wearing them day to day to demonstrate wealth, as one would wear an expensive suit here, or designer attire.

However, thankfully, a lot of people in Singapore retain an element of taste and have made known their dissatisfaction of seeing people around town in pyjamas.

I don't think it's harsh at all. Of course there'll always be exceptions to the rule, but generally speaking it will be the skangers doing this 99% of the time.

Boombastic

and yet their ad had someone (man) waking up in the middle of the night and heading to tesco in his Pyjamas for something.


It's a dirty habit, carried out by dirty people. I pity their children. I know if my mam or dad when to the shop in their PJ's when I was younger (or even now),, we would have looked at having them committed.

Fratton Fred

As long as people wash I don't care. No excuse for poor hygiene.

entropi

These people clearly don't know about online shopping, possibly the internet itself.

end of the road

couldn't care a less what someone else wears out, i dress well when i go out and thats all that matters to me

Should There Be A Dress Code When You're Out Shopping?

Of course. And total transparency. Like, if a woman is going shopping for lingerie she should do it naked. Just as you go to a restaurant when hungry or a pub when thirsty.

Cantona's Collars

Witnessed it in my local Aldi a week or so ago,2 women got out of a hiace in pyjamas,slippers & one had a dressing gown then headed into the store to do their shopping-it was 2.30 in the afternoon.

It became such an epidemic in one convenience shop in the town that the owner has banned anyone from entering wearing pyjamas.

starlit

Pjs no but comfort ya. Trainers uggs or shoes than slippers. Suitable footwear. And we thought falling or skinny showy or baggy trousers or pants track suits were bad!

Cungi

Should There Be A Dress Code When You're Out Shopping?

Yes. A tux for men and ballroom gowns for women (or a ballroom gown for men and tuxes for women, whatever you're into)

Pyjama wearers should be executed on the spot :pac:

The King of Moo

Yeah there should be dress codes for when people are shopping.

I can't stand the sight of people wearing jeans in public. It just shows a lack of respect, wearing clothes for dirty work like that. Could they not be bothered changing into dress clothes?

It's the same thing with people wearing runners on their feet. They're for running, for f*ck's sake!

Why can't people use clothes only for the specific functions they were designed for!? It f*cking disgusts me otherwise!

Snobs should be banned from the planet.

That analogy doesn't fly. You look like a tramp when wearing pyjamas in public, no two ways about it.

This is incorrect, I know a few people who wear pj's out and about. They are NOT the same ones they sleep with. They have wardrobes filled with different PJ's and it is some sort of fashion statement.
I don't really get it.
But although it might LOOK lazy, more often than not, some thought has actually been put into it S:

Pumpkinseeds

I don't really care what people wear when shopping so long as it isn't fur. I'd be much happier if shops didn't allow people to let their kids bring bikes/prams/rollerblades/hurleys/footballs/scooters etc into shops. They are shops not fricking creches people.

Do you mind leather?

Think_then_talk

A year or so ago tesco in fairview would not serve anyone in a school uniforms, Now it by chance I was in the shop at the same time as my young lad was refused service. I spoke to the manager and asked why he said they were short staffed... lol... Great way to treat their future customers...
We don't shop with them now.
