    I'm intrigued by how a particular attire makes a person a "scummer".

    When someone doesn't have enough respect for themselves to get dressed in the morning, those same people usually have no respect for others. Thats what makes them scummers.

    Its obviously not the clothes per se, but the "culture" (for want of a better word) associated with it. You're long enough around to know that.

    Is it odd that I have never heard someone say "Well I'm not shopping there anymore if there's people going around the store in their pyjamas" :rolleyes:

    Well stranger things have been said, and Tesco will take action when they think something is going to cost them money. I do remember not too long ago they asked an underage GAA team to remove their jerseys as it was upsetting some customers (Ok that was in NI - where else would you have such stupidity)

    I cant, people dont wash there dogs feet when they let them back into their homes, the soles of your feet and shoes pick up the same dirt, at least you can easily wash your feet. If it wasnt so frowned upon I'd go out shoeless myself.

    Couldn't you easily cut your feet if you aren't wearing shoes.

    Who the hell goes out into the street barefoot! Proof, if it were needed, that they're not all locked up.
    Anyway, nice one Tesco. Roll the policy out to their Belfast stores and we can all be happy (always loads of dressing-gowned odd-balls at my local Tesco Metro).

    I understand the barefoot ban... but ffs! a CUSTOMER should be allowed wear WHATEVER they want inside a shop.
    Management reserve right to refuse admission, don't they? Nightclubs, restaurants etc have dress codes.

    Some people don't keep pets, or don't allow their pets in the house, and take off their shoes indoors.

    Never understood why somebody would wear pyjamas outside, don't think I've ever even been outside without being properly dressed.

    If anything, when I see a person wearing pyjamas, I think that they are duuurrrtttyyy, and probably haven't washed today.

    I love yer wan in the picture.
    On her way to pick up 100 cigarettes and a bottle of vodka no doubt.
    And then off to collect her government assistance funds.

    Jesus, she's only 24. I thought that she was at least in her 40s or 50s.

    Just seen the picture here. It's a brave security guard who spoke with her, I don't think I'd dare to. :o I agree with the previous poster, the years have not been kind.

    What i dont get is that these people say they 'havent got time' to get changed blah blah blah, however they somehow manage to find the time to put on layers of makeup and do their hair up!!!!! Scangers is the only word for them!!!

    Eh, Tesco is a private company. They can decide who the let onto their property: the same way you can.

    cant say ive ever been a fan of the pyjamas for clothes thing....

    but it is a bit ridiculous to ban shopping in bleedin tescos for wearing them.

    and as someone who regularly wanders around barefoot, i really don't see where the issue is there either. pyjama bottoms are the exact same as normal trousers, except a softer material, prettier patterns, and less pockets. no justification, really.

    as for barefoot, i can see possibly from a health and safety perspective... but... unless they're gonna have broken glass lying around the floor without any corresponding warning/cleaning signs... then.... im really not sure what the issue is.

    That's a fairly stupid rule. People going around in pyjamas doesn't harm anybody except for the eyes of the odd whiney prig who for some reason spends all their time looking at other people and caring about what they're wearing instead of grabbing the shíte they need to buy, paying for it and leaving.

    Oh Jesus, they don't look nice. End of the fecking world.

    Nah, it isn't. Takes a tad more to be a scummer. And if these people are such scummers, how will the banning of pyjamas change their characters? They'll just come back to Tesco in different clothes - the exact same people.

    Kudos on people saying "well done Tesco" as if you're a bunch of 70-year-olds - is it really so damaging for you to catch sight of people in pyjamas while you're buying your groceries? I find I can just look away and get on with it.

    Pyjamas are still clothing.

    You obviously havent seen these classy people in pj's and nothing else, hanging out everywhere and most bits on display or barely covered.

    But at least we can easily spot & avoid the idiots of society now.

    Why give a sh1t about how they look? Does it harm you? And Tesco are being assholes.
    I'd be more concerned about character/behaviour than how a person looks tbh...

    You can pretty much tell the character/behaviour of any person wearing Pjs outside. Seriously, it looks horrible, you feel embarreset to be near them and they smell.

    You must have been pretty damn good at your job.

    I'm not a retailer, but if people have money, I'd take that money regardless of what they were wearing.

    I often pop up to my local Tesco in a hoody or tracksuit bottoms and I've got a "good" job. If they don't want me on their premises, there are plenty of others who will take my money.

    Oh, and half the people here who are so fond of the word scummer would probably no doubt piss their pants if they actually had to repeat it to the face of the person (even a teenage girl) they are judging.

    Pyjamas don't breach public nudity codes though.

    Depends. What if your ying-yang is hanging out of your wig-wam?
