    A lady got asked to leave our local Tesco last year because she smelt so much after mucking her horse out. She absolutely stank, you could smell her a couple of aisles away.

    I've seen a few people like that myself :eek:
  • Nah - thing is, this whole "story" stinks of made-up press nonsense. The responses of the woman who was allegedly prevented from shopping at Tesco sound like the kind of parody you might get in, say, a Little Britain sketch, as someone mentioned above. It doesn't ring true!

    There's more to this than meets the eye, I reckon - I just can't for the life of me work out what. Some sort of campaign in the Mail or something in the pipeline? Maybe this "issue" will be held up by David Cameron or whoever as an example of "Broken Britain" perhaps, and used as a stick to hit Labour with? Like I say, I don't know what it is or where it comes from - but somebody's using it for their own nefarious gain, I'm convinced.....

    Surely Tesco's are just trying to keep back the tidal wave of chav scum from invading the space of thier Daily Mail customer's?

    They say they dont want other people to be offended but how does seeing someone in they're PJ's offend people, ive not got an issue with people wearing PJ's whilst shopping,

    Would you like it if you went to see your Doctor or Bank Manager etc and they were in their PJs.

    I wear hubbys boxers and one of his old t shirts. I reckon I look beeeeeautiful!!

    I nearly went to Tesco in my joggers and 8 year old graduation sweatshirt the other day but I just couldn't do it. I don't even come down to eat brekkie in my jim jams, the thought of going out in them horrifies me!
    If my words are missing letters then please excuse me....my keyboard is a tad dodgy!!

    Personally I wouldn't care, as it would mean I'd actually get to see them - something that's very very very rare around here (you have to see the nurse, not allowed to see the GP and you only get someone to call you, who changes everytime from the bank, not 'your' bank manager as it used to be.)

    But thats a different rant to the Tesco PJ rant :)
    Do not feed the trolls please.

    What about people who have just finished a shift emptying bins, or pig farming, or emptying the dog litter bins, do you want them banned to?

    What about horse owners, I see lots of them in my local Morrisons. They appear to have gone shopping immediately after mucking out the horses, should we ban them too?



    I think you are too concerned about germs and dirt. besides, just because someone is wearing PJs it doesn't mean they have worn them in bed, or are going to when they get home. They may wear them around the house, after baths/showers etc. but take them off before getting into bed. In that case they are no different to any other clothes.



    It doesn't tell you anything about their hygiene habits, you just assume you know what they are.
    Cant say I have EVER come across a customer wearing a Pig Farming uniform or a Dog Litter emptying suit whilst in Tesco, let alone I dont think they are banned from going shopping. I guess they use a little more common sense when they go shopping and get changed first.

    Unlike those who cant be bothered getting dressed when they get up, unless of course you see Pig Farmers doing their shift in their Jim Jams and simply crawling back into bed without getting changed.

    There is no excuse for it at all, other than sheer laziness, I dont see them going to the clubs at a weekend in their Jim Jams. Nor do I see them going to work in them, I cant imagine why that is.

    Maybe its the case that those that go shopping in Jim Jams do so because they cant be bothered getting changed, so what chance is there of them bothering to go to work every day?

    The excuses are laughable, some even admit they take the kids to school dressed like that, oh the shame. those poor kids.............."Its ok mum, just drop me off here I'll walk the rest on my own".

    There is law that forbids me to go shopping in my Jim Jams (I go to bed naked), the same would apply to someone going shopping in sexy underwear. Its only decent that people go shopping, catch a bus, train walk through the City Centre in at least "outdoor wear", Pyjama's dont come in "indoor or outdoor" styles for the very same reason, they were never designed for the outdoor purpose, especially when it comes to shopping.

    I can confirm that this is a true story as the posters actually are displayed on the doors in a Tescos just a few miles from me.
    This paticular store is really bad for people shopping in their pyjamas I see quite a few everytime I go there.
    And no I am not one of them.
