Wearing PJs to Walmart

[RedAngie]

Or the supermarket, or anywhere. What’s your opinion?



I personally wouldn’t do it, but I have no problem with people who do.

Back in college we sometimes wore PJs to go out to eat at a diner at 3am.

 

[Meriweather]

no.....that's not where pjs belong

Maybe it was Pajama day at school or they were going to a pajama party??

I've seen a lot worse.

In the Stone Age most woman got dressed up to go to the supermarket.



This looks like a staged photo with models, but you get the idea. My mother didn’t wear her Sunday finest, but she wouldn’t dream of going in her “around the house” clothes.

As for these ladies…..Eeeeek!!!



She’d NEVER wear hair curlers out somewhere.

In one I Love Lucy episode, Ethel was aghast at the idea of wearing blue jeans on the subway.

Noooooo. Just no.

Same for yoga pants and other obvious workout clothes.

It doesn't take that long to pull on a pair of jeans and shirt.

It's a business transaction and disrespectful to the store personnel who are there to serve you. Implies they don't deserve a customer who appears respectful of their effort.

Curler shamed in the 60s.

I am a gymnastics coach, I wear yoga pants to work as part of my uniform. I also go to the grocery store after work sometimes.

Who's to say that it's "PJ's" as opposed to a "jumpsuit" or a "romper" or whatever? It covers everything that needs to be covered, and the fact that it is made out of cotton and has whales on it as opposed to being made out of silk and costing $3000 doesn't offend me at all.

no.....that's not where pjs belong

I mean, I would argue that if PJs belong anywhere in public, it's probably Walmart

For me, I don't really care what people wear to the store. I'm not opposed to going after the gym, after work, etc, but will admit scrubs are little suspect depending on the nature of the work.

Lol, my mom told me that when she was a teenager, EVERYONE went to the store in curlers on Friday's because they were all getting ready for their dates that night. She said, "It wasn't weird, no one cared, it was what everyone did."

Don't use curlers, use these.
Those are curlers.
No, they're electric hair kindness modules.
Well since you put it that way, oh yeah. I'll use them.....

Look at all that canned stuff in the cart. Eeek. It's so much nicer to have fresh stuff these days.

As long as they are decent looking PJs and they don't have a brown stripe on them and have taken a shower recently, I'm ok with it.

It’s just a reminder of how lazy our society has become when you can’t bother getting dressed to go out in public.

 

[spiders]

I don't care. It's not indecent or anything - just ugly pajamas if you ask me. At the end of the day, they're not there to impress anyone -- they're buying groceries. Who cares?

I agree, it's not for me but I'm completely unaffected by it.

Now I'm not going to go full on, matching pajama top and bottoms, but I'm not opposed to the pajama bottoms, slippers and a sweatshirt at Walmart....but not Target. LOL The grocery store is right across the street and I'm not getting doodied up to run over there for something I've forgotten. They've seen me in my pajama pants (which are more of a sweat pant or yoga pant really) than both my ex husbands combined! Usually unprinted soft pants. I don't go full animal cracker print or anything lol.

This makes me think of how back when I was a kid in the 70's and 80's, I used to get a new outfit to fly on a plane. It wasn't until I was an adult that I saw people in comfortable clothes on planes. It was just how you did it back then. It was a big deal to fly. You popped off that jet, into your Grandparents arms looking spiffy! lol

 

[Mysterian]

Hers have Eeyore all over them too. That's about as G-rated as you can get, and as mentioned they cover everything.

I've seen people wear worse. It's still a thing for guys to sag their jeans too low. I just googled, supposedly guys in prison do this to signal "availability"- I wonder if many of the fellas wearing jeans this way at Walmart are aware?

So peeps are required to wear jeans and a shirt to you? As in they must wear that in order to be seen as respectful? As in you have to own jeans to be viewed this way in your eyes?

I just can't even with your rationale TBH yikes
