Settle this debate: PJs in hotel breakfast area

[Anonymous]

It would never cross my mind to judge what someone else is wearing at a hotel breakfast, if I even noticed to begin with.

I stayed at a hotel in Japan years ago and they had waffle pajamas and slippers in every room. Every evening they had free ramen noodles in the lobby and when we went everyone was down there in their waffle pajamas eating

That sounds so fun

This whole thread I think the distinction really is less about if something is pajamas and whether it’s presentable. An old ratty nightgown that I can see you’re not wearing a bra? Definitely not. Clean pj pants, t-shirt, with shoes? Who cares.

Does he fly in his PJs? Or go for a walk in the neighborhood in them?

I have sent that, too. Trashy.

It's a public sphere. Not your home.

Some airlines give you PJs in first class. Just saying.

The irony is that we live in a time where people are asked regularly to do things for the greater public good. It used to be taken for granted you put on nicer clothes when going out into public as a sign of respect and courtesy to the larger public and that you were part of a civilized world.

The notion of wearing pajamas to go down to the hotel dining room tacky and not polite and inconsiderate of your fellow travelers. It's like wearing pajamas to the supermarket. It's not polite. It's a sign of selfishness.

Selfishness is putting demands on what other people wear. It does not impact you AT ALL.

So you're OK with me wearing my Confederate flag T shirt?

Pajamas aren’t a political statement but sure.

Immatwerial. Your statement was it's sefish to put demands on what other people wear. Now you wnat to move the goal posts. Can't do that. Ergo, you are wrong.

And in first class you are typically in a pod/room with an extensive amount of privacy. And most people don't actually wear them while flying they keep them as a novelty. Pre covid flying first class to france there were only 4 first class seats. Our family were literally the only ones in first class, we still didn't put on the PJs.

Westins and JW Marriotts don’t have free powdered eggs and stale muffins in their lobbies.

Residence inn breakfast is pretty good. Now I don’t have a personal chef but the scrambled eggs and sausage with an English muffin and some form of potatoes fills me up for a good day. And the fresh fruit and yogurt is great to take back to the room. And don’t forget the waffle maker. I am just as happy with that as I am at an expensive hotel brunch.

Now that someone mentions the nicer hotels, I realize I probably do draw a distinction. If there is a wait or involved, we probably are t still wearing PJs. With the free set out breakfast, we often go down in shifts—my husband or I take the early walkers to let the late sleepers sleep a bit more so we are just going in whatever is decent. I wasp also surprised by PP saying women don’t wear PJs—I wear Pns almost every night and sleep in athleisure when I travel so it is easier to run downstairs for a bagel or coffee with the kids.

No I’m not. I said it’s fine for them to wear it, just pointed out that pajamas aren’t political like confederate tshirts.

I have only ever seen college groups do this. We forbid it for 7th-8th graders. Honestly only the “cool” girls wanted to do it because they all had matching Bat Mitzvah PJs.

Hair brushing is not preferred, it is a must. Drag a brush through your hair because you eat in public. Geesh.

That said, she said a kid on PJ's at a hotel breakfast is fine.

The.n she's not that tough on social customs.
