Welsh Tesco bans shopping in pyjamas
Thu Jan 28, 10:18 AM
LONDON (AFP) - Shoppers in pyjamas and bare feet are no longer welcome at a Tesco supermarket in Wales where customer complaints have prompted the introduction of a strict dress code.
Signs announcing the no-PJs rule now grace the entrance to the sprawling Tesco's outlet in the Cardiff suburb of St Mellons that is open most nights until 10:00 p.m.
"To avoid causing offence or embarrassment to others, we ask that our customers are appropriately dressed when visiting our store (footwear must be worn at all times and no nightwear is permitted)," they read.
Only a handful of customers have ever turned up in pyjamas, but a spokeswoman for Britain's biggest retailer said it was enough to trigger firm measures.
"We're not a nightclub with a strict dress code, and jeans and trainers are of course more than welcome," she said.
"We do, however, request that customers do not shop in their PJs or nightgowns ... We have listened to customer feedback that it makes them uncomfortable and embarrassed."
