A branch of Tesco in St Mellon's, Cardiff has a new dress code and if pyjama’s and slippers are a staple to your wardrobe (and you live in Cardiff) then you’re not going to like it.
Tesco has kindly asked some of its lazy shoppers to dress appropriately before coming to the store in case they embarrass other consumers, and rightly so I say! I honestly can’t come up with a reason to explain why anyone would want to buy their groceries whilst PJ clad and bear foot! There are no excuses for this laziness, none! Who in their right mind would go shopping bare foot? A Teletubby, maybe? Fred Flintstone, certainly! But in a modern, civilized society, a sign beseeching such a message should really have no place! The only signs I’d like to see in the entrance of supermarkets are those advertising guitar lessons, fat fighting clubs and taxi numbers.
Mother of two, Elaine Carmody, 24, was left red-faced and furious after being ejected from Tesco a few days ago. Preparing to embark on a £100 shopping spree, Carmody (who owns pj’s featuring “bears and penguins”), left the house suitably dressed in her finest night ware only to be asked to leave once entering her local Tesco supermarket.
Carmody said on the incident, "It's not as if they're going to fall down or anything like that. They should be happy because you're going to spend all that money. So they're going to lose their custom, with people going to other shops to buy stuff and they're allowed in with their pyjamas on.” Watch out Asda! You’re in for an influx of shoppers wearing nothing but fake Ugg’s and flannelette two pieces.
Now then, I read a few amusing articles about this story, but nothing compared to the response from the disgruntled public. It would appear we are on the cusp of a pyjama revolution if any of these comments are anything to go by...
TESCO'S NEED TO GET OVA THERE SELFS PLEASE YOUR LOWER THN NETTO IT'S ONLY PJS GOD BEHAVE YOUR SELFS AND GET A LIFE PEOPLE HAVE MORE IMPORTANT STUFF TO DO THAN DRESS NICE TO GO TO A SHOP GROW UP GOD THEY HAVE KISD AND EVERYTHING BUT YOU WORK 24 HRS A DAYY LOSERS

hang on a minute.. what about the girls going in there on a friday night to get their bottle of vodka before they go clubbing? surely earing a belt as a skirt or a pair of tiny little shorts with a tiny little top is more offensive than pj's that cover everything! In the summer there are loads of people walking around in shorts and a vest top but no one complains about that! its rediculous! some people have better things to do than get glammed up for the weekly shop!

I have too agree. why cant you be bothered to just put some clothes on!! no wonder divorce is so high if people give up on there appearance and cant be bothered just throwing on some jeans and a t-shirt!! tesco's are not asking for you to do your whole hair and make up!!!
kids are not an excuse to give up on your appearance and the only excuse for wearing pjs in the supermarket is if it is the middle of the night. There are really problems going on in the world! get over it.
Look at the women in the pic, just a typical chav!

My thoughts EXACTLY! And actually, now I think about it, I’m sure the real reason I’m from a broken home is because my mum never got dressed!
So next time you’re in Tesco and you see Kerry Katona in her tartan nightie and fluffy slippers, make sure you inform the appropriate authorities.
