"This was at 7pm last night at your Tesco Salford store and I have seen other people dressed similar on a regular basis.
"I mean who doesn't have time to get changed into clothes to go shopping?"

A Tesco spokesman later added: "We do not have a formal dress code in our stores, and colleagues use their common sense and discretion when speaking to customers about this issue."
The post prompted a debate, with some criticising the man for taking the photo.
