Dress code? Yes. And it's legal to require employees to follow them. Tattoos, piercings and ESPECIALLY hair are much more touchy issues. I've worked many places here in CA in the last fifteen years where everyone was required to wear business professional attire (suit and tie, pant suits, appropriate length and style of skirt, blazers, dress shoes, etc. - no jeans, no tennis shoes, ever!), but many of the people I worked with (myself included, actually) still had ink, facial jewelry, dreadlocks or shaved heads (women, that is). Legally, for any number of reasons, it's much more difficult to for employers regulate those things. There's certain levels of accepted no-nos, like tattoos on the face and in some cases the hands (like tattooing "fuck you" across your knuckles  ). And too much jewelry is generally frowned upon, but I've worked with people who had nearly as much as the mookie monster.
Granted, I'm in the Bay Area and liberal has it's own meaning. But still, regulating what somebody wears is not the same as regulating what they do to their own bodies.
I'm just referring to wearing pajamas publicly. Comparing a job interview (or even just looking for employment) to going out to pick up a few odds and ends is not really a fair comparison, IMO.
I wouldn't wear pajamas publicly in either case, personally.
I think we're just kind of throwing it all out there. Not necessarily comparing one to the other. There's definitely degrees of wrongness. For example: It's 4 am your kid (or you are) sick and you need to hit the CVS for medicine. Not ideal (but neither is illness) but Acceptable It's 4 in the afternoon and you're watching Oprah when you decide you can't go on living another minute without shoving some Cheeto's from the 7-11 or Walmart into your face so your lazy ass can't even muster up the effort it takes to put on pants (because after all, having to actually deal with a button and a zipper can be exhausting). And while you're at it, you skipped pants, so why not just go in your slippers. 
Unacceptable

It's probably my favorite.
but besides that, it was not supposed to be acceptable that he wore his bathrobe in the store and drank milk in the aisle, but it did crack me up
I think it's the favorite, or very close to it, of a lot of my friends, too. I've just had to become at peace with the fact that I'm in the EXTREME minority on this one.
I'm with you, I was like meh |

they look like comfortable pants to me
They aren't even meant for sleeping, they are meant for wearing out and not looking like you are a slob.
They are probably super un-stylish, but they are pants, not PJ's |

I swear to God, I just received notice that tomorrow is "Pajama Day" at my job! 
Fortunately for everyone I work with, I will not be wearing only underwear to work tomorrow. |

here's the truth about me. i get home from work, the first thing i do is drop my keys on the counter with my purse, then change into sweats.

 That's the day I wear the double-breasted three piece with an overcoat and a hat.

I work for a day care, and fortunately those of us in admin are exempt from these things |

Wait...a daycare center is encouraging its adult employees to wear jammies on the job? That's just...not exactly a good idea. |

I agree, but that is purely a matter of taste & conventional thinking. And style is a good thing, but how important is it, especially in terms of judging others (as opposed to simply choosing to exercise your own style) as somehow doing something wrong?
I can't think of a concrete reason that wearing something that is shaped like pants, functions like pants, is made of the same material as pants, but is far more comfortable shoud be frowned upon for wearing in public because it has pictures of dinosaurs on it.
Well, let me clarify that I do my best to not judge people except on the few occasions when they're being asstarded enough to make it appear as if that's what they're looking for. In that case, fuck 'em! But I never judge a book by it's cover. The person could be completely and totally awesome. We could have a thousand things in common. They could be my soul mate! I do actually have friends who regularly wear those flannel pajama pants in public. But I would still think they (the stranger or my friends) were lazy that day because they didn't put on some proper pants, shorts - at LEAST some sweats... if you have to. And I'll still think they look unkempt because that's how my mind processes people wearing pajamas in public.
No one who would wear pajamas in public could possibly be my soulmate. Ever.
We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. |

I was trying to make a point. But that was pushing it a bit too far, methinks.  |
