24 hour store introduces dresscode

Why should I spend 10 minutes getting dressed to go out, then another 10 getting back in to my comfy jammies when I'm going to be out for maybe 30 minutes?

It takes you 10 minutes to change your pants?

I generally roll my eyes when I see people out and about in PJs, but whatever. I wouldn't wear them outside the house myself, but I'd rather see someone in PJs than some of the stuff that gets posted on, say, People of Walmart. As long as you're covered up.

the new rules, designed to prevent the relaxed shopping habits of the minority from embarrassing more respectably-attired shoppers.

Why should you be embarrassed because you are actually wearing real clothes and someone you don't even know is in their PJs? If you are embarrassed by what a complete stranger is wearing, you need to get over yourself.

I don't really want people to know I go around the house in fuzzy Garfield pajamas on cold days. (I sleep in very little - t-shirts, tank tops - because I get really hot at night). Even if I just have one errand, it doesn't take much effort to put on jeans, a hoodie, and my boots.

I'll occasionally shop in my pjs. The grocery store is across the street. It's my day off, and that's the only place I'm going. I throw on a jacket, and that's it.

Broom, you live in the same city as I do. PJ's in this weather take on a WHOLE different meaning.

I've heard of a theory that says pajamas shouldn't be "contaminated" by the outside (dirt, muck, etc). In a grocery store, it seems there would also be some health/safety concerns.

When I was taking classes out at Mass Bay, my mom decided to drive me one frigid morning (I usually took the train, but she didn't want me waiting in the cold any more than I absolutely had to). We left the house early enough to stop for coffee. The Dunkin Donuts in question is on a main drag (Route 9) with a side street next to the parking lot.

Picture this: easily single-digits, as I exit the car I see a woman clad in nothing but a bathrobe and fuzzy slippers (I have three layers on plus scarf, hat and mittens) come out of a house across the side street and into the parking lot, nearly falling about a half-dozen times.

I'll occasionally shop in my pjs. The grocery store is across the street. It's my day off, and that's the only place I'm going. I throw on a jacket, and that's it. All my bits are covered, which is more than I can say for some "acceptable" outfits. Why should I spend 10 minutes getting dressed to go out, then another 10 getting back in to my comfy jammies when I'm going to be out for maybe 30 minutes? You call it slovenly, I call it practical. Again, I point out that my pjs cover me, have no holes, are not filthy, and do not smell bad. I absolutely cannot see how anyone can call that slovenly compared to the cooter-contour exposing booty shorts that slut-puppies wear, the shorts-exposing beltless dress code of gangsta-wannabes, the stained wife-beater and cut-offs of the Redneckius Maximus, or any of a thousand other variants of clothing not covered by the "pj ban," but are infinitely more offensive to the sensibilities.

99% of the time they're there for one purpose: cigarettes.

this is what i posted as a reply there



"They should be happy because you're going to spend all that money."

Most likely if someone is shopping in their night clothes they're not going to be spending large amounts of money.

And with some outfits I'm sure there's NO amount of money that can make up for forcing others to have to view it. Although perhaps some brain bleach might come in handy.

Now if only Wal-Mart would do that....

""If you're allowed to wear jogging bottoms, why aren't you allowed to wear pyjamas in there, that's what I don't understand. It is ridiculous and stupid. I go in other shops in my pyjamas and they don't say anything.

They should be happy because you're going to spend all that money."

Oh no, she said it...

Um...maybe the other shops don't say anything because they don't care. To me there is a difference between running pants and pajamas...the former is at least "normal" to wear when running to the store.

Seriously, how hard is it to at least throw on a real pair of pants and shoes before you go out the door? You're up anyway.

[AnaKhouri]

I am all for that. I think it's slovenly to walk around in pajamas. Unless you're a little kid, have the decency to put on real pants before you leave the house.

You get extra ick-points if you're pajama pants say 'Princess' or 'Bootylicious' or have a sorority symbol on the butt.

Tesco gets fed up with people shopping in their PJ's. Fair play.
