Tesco, now the nation's leading arbiter of manners and dress code, said this: "We would ask Jedis to remove hoods. Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda and Luke Skywalker all went hoodless without going to the Dark Side." I would be grateful for some Jedi input on this important doctrinal point.

Says it all really. :D

Correct me if I'm wrong, but IIRC Obi Wan Kenobi et al removed their hood in order to talk to people anyway.

I don't see the need to wear hoods or hats inside (and apparently this was once considered rude), but then by the same token I see no need to ask people to remove them - particularly in a place such as a job centre wear revenue protection is not an issue.

Surely being Jedi meant you had to have an increased number of mitochondria or something?!!!

Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to bad customer service! :lol:

Before Mark comes along.......... Jedis???!! </pedant>

Tesco can FRO. You don't see Sainsbury or Asda or anybody else telling people what to wear. If somebody has the brass balls to wear a Jedi outfit to shop in, I say let them.
