Publix on University and 34th, I'm guessing.
I wear pajamas and crocs to the grocery store on a regular basis. I am not trying to get a job there nor am I trying impress any one. I receive the occasional stare or scowl, but it is my day off and I can dress any way I please so long as I am not dispalying my junk. I just look towards one of the coolest movie characters ever; you guys sound like my wife.

I caddy; therefore I chase stupid golfers golf balls into prairie type grass, even though they can't hit it out of there and would be better to take up tennis. But anyways, I frequently come home and find small insects stuck in my leg hairs. It really grosses mom out.
Your mom combs your leg hair?

Can I get a show of hands of all the board members that have been in this particular store?

Ive been there many a time. They are also frequented by a crowd of post workout girls dressed in attire that would look out of place in most grocery stores but has become normal there.

Showoff! 
I try to dress at least half decent when I go out. I may wear old worn-out jeans (which somehow are not fashionable even though they sell the jeans pre-worn now!) and an old T-shirt or polo shirt, but not flip-flops or anything like that.
When I was doing IT in university, I wouldn't have complained about what women were dressed like when they showed up, as long as there were some in the class!
My wife just called me a grouchy old pain in the ass for this argument. I have to get dressed even if I'm just running down the block for milk. I can't go out in sweatpants. The place that this really annoys me is church. My wife has got me going again and it seems alot has changed in my absence. The first few weeks the pastor and I were the only wearing proper pants. Most everyone else is in jeans or their pajamas. I'm sorry, but is it too much to ask to put on some Dockers and a golf shirt, and maybe run a comb through your hair before going out to church?

AMEN! My girlfriend was giving me E36 M3 about all my clothes being crappy, so after putting it off as long as I could, we finally went clothes shopping for me. When we get to the jeans and shorts, she starts showing me all this crap that already looked worn out and stained! I tried to get her to explain how that stuff was any better than what I already had, and she tried, but it just didn't make any sense. I especially hate the jeans that come with that nasty yellow tint, like they were previously owned my a heavy cigar smoker. What the berkeley is that?
Back on topic: I don't really mind when hot college girls are walking around in PJ pants and tank tops. I actually think it's kinda cute. It's when they look like Carl from ATHF that I could do without.

Are you sure about that?

Kinda seems like wearing PJs to the store is the essence of Slack.

I went there during the challenge. I walked into aisle displays 5 times while trying to buy cooler food for my time in the parking lot.

You been looking in my backyard? I'm training him not to chase birds. Those little arms on the front can leave some nasty scratches.

Thanks for bringing up a bad memory. While visiting Disney World in 1990, I saw a very attractive woman wearing shorts over top of a one-piece swimsuit. As most 19-year-old guys would have done, my neck was doing a 180 to ensure her beauty was firmly entrenched into my memory. She then lifted her arms to take a picture, to expose hirsute pits.
If she wasn't European, it was kinda gross. If she is European, it's still gross.

I'm guessing you see a lot of that in Florida... 
I don't understand the pj-s and slipper-thing either... but I have thing against flip-flops being worn no-where near a beach as well... don't tell they're "sandles"... I grew up in the 70's... they're berkeleying flip-flops...

That's just wrong. Even the die-hard aetheist that I am still thinks there are places where a certain level of respect should be shown. When I was a child, I was made to wear pants, a tie and a formal jacket to church.
Either the one on University and 34th or the one on Archer near the Best Buy and all that, both of them have plenty of viewing material.

I have some for around the house and i admit that ive worn them when ive run to the store just to grab a thing or 2. (i live close to the store and its a quick grab and go)
does that make me a bad person?

Through my extensive...uhh...research (Don't look at me that way, I used to live equidistant between the two), the one on University, being the closest Publix to Sorority Row, has better straight-up viewing material. The one on Archer did, however, enable me to meet the nicest girl I've currently ever tricked into dating me.
I now am cheap and really close to a Save-a-Lot and an Albertsons. Nothing good there, I'm afraid.
Also: don't hate the flip-flops! The time spent putting on shoes is time I could be spending studying! (Or sleeping or drinking or...)
I often only traveled to the Publixesssss when I really wanted to look at something nice lol. I lived right there off of 20th and 34th where there was a Kash n Karry which is now a Sweet Bay and I could just walk there to get what I needed. It was called the Estates when I lived there no idea what it is now, but I would always see some interesting things there. I do miss having a Wok n Roll though.

You lived in the Estates? You stuck up rich bastard! I lived further down 20th where the bullets occasionally hit my roof,

I used to wear flip flops then they came out with crocs. I dress decnt for church but as for the grocery store I really don't care. BTW I am a slacker and I like to portray that image so I suppose pajamas in public is just another sort of wierd I don't give a berkeley what you straight stuck up types are wearing I am going slack fashion statement. Damn if thats the case then maybe I should start dressing like a preppy it just pisses me off that now I am in style or something.

lol, that's what I meant when I said he wouldn't give a rat's ass, hahaha ;)
...don't figure God cares what i'm waring as long as my hearts in the right place... jeans and flops and a T are the norm for me... then again i don't think i've ever seen my pastor in "slacks" and def never a tie or jacket...
i've gone to the store a few times in the last few weeks in my "old man slippers"... to cold out to ware my flops... i've been waring sandals and flops sence i was a pre-teen... lived in Panama... then moved to FL.... even while in MI i was in flops... sometimes even in the snow... i just don't like shoes...
also been known to run to the store after minute washing up my hands after working on a car... call me a slob... but i'm not there for you... i'm there for whatever reason i'm there... it's not a social call...
