    Does anyone actually mind if they see someone wearing pyjamas? Why does that particular Tesco manager care so much?

    Weird.

    Well, it doesn't bother me, I don't live there and I also don't own any pyjamas.

    theyre worried about the image of slobs with other customers rightly so.

    Crocs should defiantly be banned, not just tesco but public. Is that a better way to tell everyone you are on the social?

    Have you seen the price of Croc's?.....

    The Chav's on the social, mostly wear fakes!

    My podiatrist swears by them, and recommends wearing them.
    My wee fella loves the bright red one's on my feet at this moment.
    Yes, I wear them as slippers only, so they never go passed the door threshold...

    I own em tho, and I'd suspect I'd get many looks walking through the centre of Manchester into Tesco, maybe even beaten up.

    Where will they all buy Fray Bentos, B&H and white lightning if Tesco stops chavs letting chavs in. I don't mind them they make me feel superior and that. :wink:

    Well done Tesco! Unfortunately they're not going far enough. When I'm shopping for food I don't want to see riveted chavvy lard lifebelts or saggy paps flopping out, shoddy, faded tats or hairy underarms, nor do I want to hear the disgusting sucking of flip-flops. Hopefully this return to some sort of dress standards will spread.
  • Its not a national ban though, on a recent trip to Blackburn i went into tescos and almost all the customers were wearing pyjamas. then again almost all the people in Bl;ackburn wear Pyjamas

    St Mellons is an area of Cardiff so hardly counts as rural :wink:

    I'm doing some work for that particular store and I'm surprised they are worried about their image as it's a complete dump (along with St Mellons as a whole). It also featured in a recent episode of Traffic Cops when they tried to stop a bloke in the car park who was completely plastered and who insisted he was going shopping and not into the back of the cop car. The lone copper eventually got him in the back but forgot to lock the door leaving the guy to walk off. It eventually took on off duty copper to arrest him as the original one was too busy being matey for the camera. Turned out the drunk was on the run from prison. Classy place is St. Mellons Tesco :lol:

    Take it no-one here wears Jack Wills then?

    Yeah...wasn;t really commenting on that particular place...more that in my experience..the more rural a place is...the more people wear their slippers and housecoats to the shops.

    And I neglected to mention how offputting facial peircings are on customers and staff. If I see someone riveted I'll leave the place and not be served by them.

    Are they those stupid baggy legged tracksuit bottoms?

    I hate those! Normally worn by some idiot with a too-tight polo shirt with upturned collar too.

    Worse than baggies are the tight New Look leggings. Worn on thin legs they make the wearer resemble a two-pin plug, on donner kebeb legs the effect is nuaseating...

    They should ban jeggings too. Jeans for lazy people.

    Jeggings? I've not heard of those, though I can imagine...

    Not being a chavvy fashionista, when I first saw those I wondered how the hell the voluptuous lady had squeezed into the jeans, nasty.

    Barefoot supermarket shopping is a way of life in Australia. I found it revolting and most bizarre that even 500km inland, (i.e. not just wandered off the beach), people would want to walk on tarmac in 40 degrees heat with no shoes. :?

    FFS, live and let live.

    Haven't people got anything more important to worry about?

    That said, Teagar has a good point re. the Jack Wills logo...

    Got no problem with the Jack Wills low slung joggers myself as they usually seem to be half way down the backside on toned, young, posh female Bristol students when I see them (or at least that's the only time I notice them) :lol:

    Respect to Tesco, for once! Since foodstuff is around, maybe they should be more strict about the health and hygiene aspect. I remember in the early 90's, you were not allowed in the army camp canteen, in a vest. Do not know if that was a etiquette thing, or potentially you had just been doing some kind of physical exercise. You might sweat over the Spam fritter...

    One of the reasons why, which is not apparent in all these news articles is that the branch of Tescos in St. Mellons is about 100m away from the main Cardiff University Accommodation Halls.....Trust me, in my first year, I often wandered into tesco in pyjamas.....why bother getting dressed when its so close?!?! :lol:

    I think clean hands would be a priority over clean feet in that case... anti-bac hand gels at the entrance?? :shock:

    very often people half asleep in pyjamas drop things and glass breaks on the floor. you dont want blood trapseing around as well . someone has to try and smile and clean it up.
