The Dogmother Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 No, this isn't another peopleofWalmart thread.. well, not quite! Is anyone else ever dismayed at what people wear to shop in the supermarkets? One of the reasons (apart from their moral stance - or lack of it) that I don't shop in Te$co any more is that I got fed up with seeing people shopping in their PJs, slippers, bare torsos (men) bikinis and sarongs... you name it! I see that one store has put up a notice about appropriate attire Now, I know that I chainsaw in my bikini, but that's in my own back garden; I wouldn't dream of going to the shops dressed like that.

Alis girls Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 usually the same clobber as for school gate - jeans etc in winter, cropped trousers, Tshirts etc for summer. Always wear my slap - I wear make up all the as otherwise people keep asking me if I'm ill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinsk Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I know what you mean, the asda near where I work is full of PJ bottoms and uggs, most of these people don't work yet still can't find the time to get dressed I wouldn't dream of going shopping in a bikini on holiday never mind over here.

Egluntyne Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I regularly see a woman in our supermarket wearing a dressing gown and with wet hair. Evidently she goes to the local sports centre for a swim and then goes shopping. How much trouble would it be to put on her clothes afterwards? Would she go into M&S or Cole 's in the city centre dressed like that? I doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 We used to have a mum who deleivered her child to school gates in her PJ's - hair all over the place and no bra - everything not in its place if you get my meaning. Dads probably enjoyed it but us mums were a bit critical to say the least. So slovenly - I mean I look like the wild woman of Borneo before hair make up and clothes - I dont look much diferent with them come to that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I feel a bit slovenly when I go out to see the hens in a morning in my dressing gown and pjs. I can't believe that people would go out in public like that. I don't feel right until I am dressed in the morning. We went to a sixth form open evening last night and there was a girl there in the sort of tracksuit bottoms that look more like pjs and a tatty white vest top, I wonder what she wears when she goes shopping.

docsquid Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I must admit, I haven't seen dressing gowns or slippers in our local Sainsbury's. I wear just what I wear everywhere else, which is jeans and trainers plus whatever top is appropriate to the outside temperature - t-shirt in summer, with added jumpers or sweatshirts and jackets in winter. I always wear full-length trousers, even in the hottest summer, because of operation scars on my legs which I don't want people to see.

dippy bird Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I just wear the same old thing - jeans, sweatshirts,caterpillar boots,body warmer.In the summer, cropped pants, vest,flip flops. What I do find amazing though,is when I go first thing on a Sunday, there are women there who look like they are about to go out clubbing!! Full on make-up, amazing clothes and stillettos! They must have to get up at the crack of dawn to get themselves ready to hit Tesco! Maybe they are hoping to meet someone?? Hmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthmam1 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 The nearest supermarkets to me are waitrose and morrisons and I have never seen anyone in their PJs or the like. I obviously lead a very boring life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 Our Waitrose has a dress code. One of the reasons I either go to Waitrose (15 miles away) or order with Ocado. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I must live in a very conservative area (not!) as I have never seen anyone dressed in that way in my supermarkets... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Goodness, me too! I have never seen anyone bare chested or barefoot in my Tesco or Waitrose. And I am gobsmacked that people go out in jammies & dressing gowns Mostly its riding boots & jods here,although I did see Liam Gallagher in Tesco once in a floppy purple top hat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleTree Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Oh no! The Tesco in that article is the one not far from me We don't go to that one though, we go to a different one. I'm not altogether surprised about it though, considering the area that it's in. I do see women in their pyjamas quite often, although admittedly it's just the type of trousers they have on, that makes me think they are pyjamas. I see slippers out and about quite often too. I am always fully dressed when I go shopping - jeans, jumper, coat - the usual type of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Webmuppet Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I wouldn't dream of going to the supermarket in PJ's or dressing gown. I have gone to the shops with wet hair but I daren't put a hair dryer anywhere near my hair. The slobbiest thing I wear to the supermarket is my tracksuit bottoms and a hoody after I've been to the gym. Even on holiday I wear shorts that come down to my knees and a rash vest ( a kind of UV proof t shirt) my flesh is not to be revealed it's far too scary.

Valkyrie Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Well I think it's far too nippy to go in my bikini at the moment. I never dress up for the shops, although I do rather get embarrassed if I have finished and I spot the muddy partial chicken footprints on my jumper when I've been too rushed to check before leaving the house.

Redwing Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I wear normal clothes but often go out with wet (but brushed) hair I have seen people in slippers, PJs, no tops etc.. in supermarkets back in Bristol but wellies are more common in our area!

Phil's already tried that one... talked about 'Chicks with Chainsaws' or something like that It just makes it easier to get all the woodchip off! Only in the summer though and I promise not to wear it to the supermarket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
