When a store bans pajamas, you have to wonder what mishaps have happened in the past for such a policy to be created. The Tesco store in the United Kingdom has enacted such a policy, and customers who enjoyed extremely casual wear when doing their shopping are not pleased.
The posted policy is obviously British: It’s polite to a fault. It’s actually a bit of a surprise that British grocery store customers would go out so informally, although Bridget Jones did run after Mr. Darcy in her underwear.
