When I worked the evening shift at the convenience store, I saw many many people who came in wearting slippers and PJs. It was usually last thing at night and they were 9/10 buying cigs! Always made me laugh.

But Tesco's are banning this! What will bored store assistants have to laugh at now?

Do you think this is a good or bad idea?

My friend ( who i've not seen for a few years, must see how she is actually )

Was always going to Morrisons to buy various things for her house, she'd tell me how she was wearing her PJ's with a dressing gown followed by her coat and slippers.

She wasn't hurting anyone, no one was inconvenienced by her actions ( and chances are everyone else was far too busy looking for the aisles that had what they were after on anyway )

She was showing a lot less flesh than what i've seen some women show on nights out, and she was wearing her coat so you couldn't see much anyway.

Besides, I wonder if the people who brought this rule in have good dress sense?

Minty's right, some people's daytime attire is much more offensive than what most people sleep in.

And it's just this one store. Right? Sounds like an anal manager (is there any other kind?) has stepped on his/her own tail, no pun intended.
