Sorry, but am I the only one who see’s the irony in all this. What difference does shopping in your PJ’s have with shopping in a mini skirt and flimsy little top.
And was it not Tesco anyway who said they were seriously considering allowing shoppers to turn up naked?

When woman are shopping wearing short skirts and flimsy tops they actually become more of a safety issue (depending on what they look like of course) the number of times I've crashed the trolley while watching them can't be counted, not to mention the times the wifes caught me.

Don't know about the irony but it depends on whether the pj's have been slept in?
If worn as clean clothes for the day no problem, would anyone in their right mind go shopping in clothes worn all night in bed?
There could be some health hazard?
I once stayed at a hotel in Blackpool where breakfast was taken in the dining room by a large family who came down in their pj's, obviously straight out of bed. I did not feel good about sharing the dining room with them.
Personally my bed time attire is tee shirt and boxys, I might go to Tesco this morning wearing them?

This article was published on the IOSH site as it could stimulate a debate – particularly surrounding the issue of people shopping in bare feet.
This clearly does have a health and safety impact.'
The topic has been unlocked.

Thanks for the clarification Mod 2, even though I am not convinced myself.
Surely there is no workplace issue unless a circumstance arose where an individual was injured by say dodgy work practice resulting in stock falling on a PJ wearing barefooted individual.
In that case, the prosecutor would look at the cause (i.e. unsafe practice) not the effect (inadequate attire) as this is circumstantial.

That should read:

All stores are workplaces therefore there is a health and safety issue for the employees.

I agree... but how often do your employees come to work in PJ's?

Define PJs?
whenever I'm away on business I sleep in a jogging suit (too many fire evacs from hotels with faulty alarms)
You could argue about the PJs from a hygeine perspective but nobody would bat an eyelid if I walked into a supermarket wearing a jogging suit (apart from the fashion police). PJs or not, I can't see anbody walking across a supermarket car park bare foot.
Strange how nobody raises the issue about people in only Speedos and flip-flips in the shops at the seaside.
Going out in your PJs full stop is quite a strange idea to get your head around but I think this one is for the fashion police to follow up, not the fun police! ;-)

Good point. There is a world of difference between flannelette top and trousers with dressing gown and a skimpy negligé. You wouldn't see me dead out of the house in the latter.

Why? The individual is a customer not an employee working on the Deli counter. If you stop the PJ wearer, why not the brickie coming for his lunch from the building site? Hygiene as an excuse does not cut it with me.

Agree 100%. It is purely etiquette and nothing else.

fail to see in these circumstances why ther are any H&S issues, even if workers were wearing PJ's didn't say anything about slippers or bare feet.
