Users have been reacting to a photo, shared on X, of the alleged sign which suggests that customers at Supervalu, Firhouse would be refused entry if they were dressed in a particular way. 

The post, which was shared by RTÉ programme editor Aisling Bastable on Wednesday, May 29 to X (formerly Twitter) displayed an image of the sign which read: 

"Customers will be refused entry if they are wearing dressing gowns or pajamas."

The printed sign which appeared in the SuperValu store in Dublin has caused a mixed reaction with many users on social media commenting about the way pyjamas is spelt.
