Tesco introduces pyjama ban
January 29, 2010
Shoppers at Tesco’s in St. Mellons, Cardiff have been warned that they will not be allowed into the store if they cannot be bothered to change out of their pyjamas in future. The store has decided to place a ban on nightwear after an increasing number of customers have started turning up to do their shopping in their dressing gowns and slippers. A notice is now up on the entrance to the Tesco Extra store warning that visitors must be wearing footwear and are not allowed in unless they have previously changed out of their night attire. Managers say that they have implemented the rules so as not to cause embarrassment to other shoppers. A spokesman for Tesco said that they are not enforcing the same sort of dress code that might be found at a night club and that they still welcomed customers dressed in trainers, jeans and t-shirts. He said that they would just prefer customers not to turn up still wearing their pyjamas.
A number of customers have welcomed the move saying that people who shop in their dressing gowns are disrespectful. Thirty-year-old Kirsty Brown said that she thought shoppers who could not be bothered to get dressed needed to sort themselves out. She said that when she commented to one fellow shopper that she might like to put some shoes on when in the food department she was sworn at. Twenty-four-year-old Elaine Carmody said she couldn’t understand what all the fuss was about and pointed out that she was wearing he favourite pair of pyjamas in order to look tidy.
