Tesco has hit the headlines on a number of occasions, but this time it is not its finances but rather its dress code that is causing a stir.
Staff at a store in St Mellons in Cardiff have taken action after receiving complaints from a number of customers regarding the chosen attire of a few members of the public.
Management decided to display signs in shop window that read: “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)."
But not everyone agrees with the new rules. 24 year-old mother of two, Elaine Carmody, was refused entry to the store whilst wearing her “best pair” to purchase a packet of cigarettes. She said: "If you're allowed to wear jogging bottoms, why aren't you allowed to wear pyjamas in there, that's what I don't understand?
"I think it's stupid really not being allowed in the supermarket with pyjamas on.
"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."
It remains to be seen if the policy will be introduced to other stores.

I find it absolutely inconceivable that someone would think it acceptable to leave the house in their nightwear! It shows a total lack of respect for those around them and I'm sure would not be tolerated anywhere else in the world. Good on you Tesco!
