Woolworth's poor sale.

I have been venturing into Woolworths these last few weeks to see if there is anything worth buying (I know I feel like a vulture but it will make sure these poor employees will get paid) but I must say it's a very poor show. How on earth do they expect to sell cds and DVDs at such ridiculous prices that are higher than the other compertition retilal outlets. I saw a Dr Who DVD that I can get in Borders for £7.99 for £19.97 (and this was meant to have been a reduced sale price) as well as cds for £11-£15.99

I'm sorry but Woolworths are in a dream world but I am still sad to se them go :confused:

    I went to my local woolworths, quite a poor sale. They were selling rights to the Woolworth's trademark for 50p and the entire chain of stores for £1. Not much of a discount IMO.

    The sale reflected the state the shop had become over the last 10 years - a sad affair. No wonder they didnt survive.

    And their displaying of cd's was a mess. There was no order to it. Not like the old days when they used to sell vinyl.

    My local stores are closed but the last time I went in one (27th Dec) it was like a Jumble sale.
