I wouldn't do it - but then I would have to walk down the street dressed like that, not just climb into a car, and if I'm in Tesco's at 1 or 2 in the morning (which is very rare anyway) it tends to be on the way home :)

See? Usually NSFW due to...well, stupidity.
So, yeah, I think Tesco's probably looking at the States and doing a pre-emptive strike against the Wal-Mart mentality.
And yes, I've seen people shopping in slippers and jammy bottoms, and no, I don't even begin to think of leaving my home until I have clothing on my body. Actual clothing, BTW, not sweats or PJs or anything sloppy like that.
But I do wear jeans everywhere, because that's my lifestyle. *shrugs* Which some people complain about, but I do live in the western US and jeans are very common day wear.

And I, personally, agree with the manager of that shop: I don't want to have to see people in their nightwear and with bare feet when I go shopping for stuff. It'd be better if they had something on over their PJ's but, from what I heard, most of them didn't.
