Women Going Shopping In Tesco, In Pyjamas !

[mikey4444]

I have just returned from Tesco and while I was there, there was an altercation in the entrance. Two young women were stopped by the Security Guard, because they were wearing pajamas and dressing gowns. They complained bitterly and become abusive but left in a cloud of swear words.

Did these women really think it was OK to go shopping in public dressed like that ?

[B00]

Yeah you're right Eccles, the assumption is there, and one which could be wrong, but I can't shake that thought from my head.

I'm a little astonished there are people on this thread who find it acceptable to go shopping in payjamas.

It is a ridiculous thing to do.

People have been surmising as to why people would go shopping in pyjamas, when the most obvious conclusions to draw are that they are (a) lazy slobs and (b) chavs.

I can't shake those images from my head :0?

[mikey4444]

Ekina ...I deliberately left out an exact description of these two young women earlier this morning, as I wanted people to comment purely on the clothes they were wearing, but slattern does seem to fit pretty well what I saw this morning.

I couldn't shop in my pyjamas......but if Tesco had a sense of humour they'd install Pyjamas Only checkouts.......x

Agree deskdiary, it's the slob mentality and nowadays anything goes and is accepted. When us 'oldies' die off this will be the norm, no lines drawn, no scruples anything accepted. Seems a shame that decency and consideration for others has long gone now thanks to the society that has been dragged? Up this way. Means no respect for anyone really, nothing in its place IMO.

[ummmm]

So it's indecent to fully cover up in PJs but perfectly acceptable to wear short short and a crop top?

[dunnitall]

Ummmm I don't even like to see that and as for men with bare chests going about the streets....sorry but that is a no no for me too. Beaches and seaside attire is IMO just for that, but then I was brought up in a different era when we knew how to dress for certain situations. My opinion, my thoughts, you have your own and entitled to them as am I. X

Why is there a particular problem with pyjamas that have been slept in?

Is there an assumption that Tesco's customers "soil" their pyjamas in bed?

[melv16]

Don't the pajamas cover up their tattoos? ;-)

[Mamyalynne]

Lot of fuss about nothing really isn't it?

[Barmaid]

But if you are mega rich and just use a few strategically placed jewels to cover your bits, you appear in numerous pictures described as glamorous! Funny old world.

Well for a start you sweat during the night Jayne, so you're wearing your sweat soiled clothing during the day, then if you wear them again that night to sleep in, you'll have whatever stains you might acquire on them in bed.

[Barmaid]

(I'm guessing bending over the freezer in aisle 18 would be a tad tricky in that ensemble).

[EcclesCake]

It's fair to say I'd much rather encounter a pair of Bridget Joesesque penguin pjs than any of those fright frocks!

[dunnitall]

All of it is opinion and the way you have been brought up....much ado about nothing but we were asked for our opinions I think (smile).

[Retrochic]

When all said and done its the quaint British class system 'innit'. Two burly tatooed women doing an early fag and red bull run in their Pj'S is frowned on, but if Quenella Smythe-Tottie pops into the local waitrose in her designer PJ's for a bottle of stolly and some organic olives it would be 'avant garde' or a jolly good jape.

[mikey4444]

Methyl ( 13:44)...yes it was, the last time I looked, which was before Xmas.

[ladybirder]

mikey says they had dressing gowns on as well as their pyjamas. So I'd bet that they have definitely not showered or even had a wash before they went shopping. Yuk. Surely most people's routine is to take their night clothes off, wash/shower/bath whatever and then get dressed to face the day. Ive never seen anybody here shopping in their night clothes thank goodness but then I rarely use Tesco. I think it's slovenly, lazy and possibly unhygienic. And if any of my family did it they'd get a slap.
