Tesco's won't serve you in your pyjamas

Once saw and old chap at tesco get out of his car in his dressing gown and open the tap on his catheter bag before going shopping. Left a right puddle. :eek:

He needs a bigger bag!

OK, so smelly people and those with bare feet are no fun to be near, and those in their jim jams might offend our sensibilities, but they don't really affect me.

What does affect me, and I would like all supermarkets to make a fuss about, is children being put into trolleys, complete with outdoor shoes one, with the shopping. I'm not sure these children are in there to save them having to walk, as they are often older than toddler stage. I think it is often more about 'control'..... no need to keep an eye on them if they are in the trolley!

I'm not sure they are washed (the trolleys, not the children ) so some of them could be quite dirty.

Am I the only one who gets annoyed about this trend ?

I dislike it because it shows little attention the person wearing them put to themselves and that is sad. I also worry about it if the person has children as children can be cruel and that is something that kids could really pick up on.

On another note I did see a child once get locked in a trolley "prison" of many other trolleys... very odd and took the family about half an hour to get them out..... Interesting whilst waiting for a taxi!

Doesn't hugely bother me too much - makes me laugh and think quietly to myself 'what a tramp' but nothing more - if I've got DD's with me, I tell them that if they ever go out dressed like that they'll be slapped hard!!!!!

yeah, cos corporal punishment is far more acceptable than jammie-wearing outdoors :shhh:

stilernin - were you never a child? My daughter loves to ride in the trolley (she is 4). And yes she has her shoes on.... We don't let her stand in dog poo though I always wanted to get in the trolley when i was a kid too, maybe it just runs in my family?

I'm another who lets my kid in the trolley.

But then my food is packaged, and anything that isn't i.e veg, would get washed. I assume all trolleys to be mucky, whether kids go in them or not. I mean, have you ever seen them getting washed?

I saw a large dog lift it's leg and wash a couple the other day!

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?

Do you really think they care. it's all money to them.

It wasn't chav scum as you say - it was 1 harrassed mum who stays in the housing estate at the edge of the carpark at Tesco and she had run out of milk. She had on PJs a dressing gown down to her feet and fluffy slippers and it was a store in the north of Scotland. It was just before 8 in the morning and she wanted milk to feed her kids their breakfast. The store staff were talking about it in horror for days afterwards and I just felt sorry for this mum. What a fuss - it is not as though she walked down the street she was only yards from her back door and that particular store is so quiet anyway she wouldn't have been noticed if they had had more customers. :rotfl:
