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

    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.

    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.

    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?

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

    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!

    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?

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    That's my new pet hate for this year.

    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?
