No-Pyjama Dress-Code For Shopping in Tescos! Seen any Fright-Sights in Hedge End’s Shops?

I’ve just read that a Tescos in Wales is introducing a dress-code for customers – to stop them wearing pyjamas while shopping! (The Telegraph, The Sun and the BBC all have the story.)

Why would anyone want to shop in pyjamas in the first place???? And especially in January!!!!
The store says that customers wearing pyjamas make staff and other customers feel uncomfortable.
One customer has already been banned from the store in St Mellons, Cardiff – she said she didn’t have time to get dressed and get her children off to school.
I have children and I know how difficult it can be to get organised in the mornings, but surely getting dressed is a priority!
Last year I remember there was a school which banned mums from doing the school-run in their pyjamas.
What is it with this country and pyjamas?
We don’t have a Tescos in Hedge End, but I’d be interested to know if you’ve seen any dressing to make you feel ‘uncomfortable’ in our stores here.
Any pyjama sightings? Lingerie outings? Incidents of boxers making more of an appearance than merely peeking from the top of a teenager’s trousers?
P.S. As I don’t have a photo of the lady in question evicted from the Tesco store in Wales, I’ve found a photo of some pyjamas from Flickr, by Mr.Thomas.
Comments
We do have a Tesco's in Hedge End actually, in Tanhouse Lane.
I completely agree about the inappropriateness of PJ's. It just shows how standards have declined over the years.

ReportI presume the pyjama people were wearing them during the day?! No excuse for it evening if it's night time in a shop open 24 hours! Yes, something of a fright sight.
Following on from mothers wearing them to drive children to school, what is it with these people? There are such things as alarm clocks, despite the rush at breakfast and half awake, non-cooperative children being nagged not to forget their gym things, a stage in my life I am glad to have left behind.
Here's a few things I'd rather not see in supermarkets: track suit bottoms with the surface fluffed up, frayed jeans that display a 'builder's bum', children with runny noses....

ReportI remember that story about the school run- I though it was crazy but not because it was offensive, just strange they actually felt comfortable out and about in them! I´ve never seen any pjs on show in Sainsburys or anything, but people do wear some very strange items of clothing to do the shopping, talk about getting dressed in the dark!
