There are loads of people who say things like its not fair that boots staff get so many perks but if their daughter worked at boots they would take full advantage too! Makes me laughhhh :rolleyes:

Of course they would. You can see it from these forums. People suggesting that they are going to buy 100 boxes of paracetamol or teething gel because of a points glitch-are we supposed to believe that those same people wouldn't do it if they were staff and got it even cheaper!!! People who grab every offer and don't think of other people shouldn't be upset at the possibility of other people doing it.

Of course, not everyone does that, I am not pointing the finger at anyone, but it just seems some people are never happy. They should think about all the points and glitches they have had in the past and just be graceful if they don't get what they want on boxing day.

Retail is hell this time of the year. I doubt any of the whiners here have ever stood behind a shop counter.

My local mini Boots doesn't seem to stock OOTW ever so I'll be a midnighter on thurs nite/fri morning as well would get bus to bigger Boots but don't want to miss out if I'm late arriving!! xx

Blimey, there's some bad vibes coming from this thread.

I think retail assistants should get some perks like first dibs on sale items etc but....

the best offers never made it to the shop floor.

is wrong, just like buying 100 packs of teething gel or whatever other weird glitch there is, that's wrong too.

I don't see why some people can't find a balance between taking advantage of an offer or glitch and just being plain greedy. Greed is good, it makes the world go round (the western one at least) but too much greed can collapse an economy and leave a country on its knees.

On a lighter note. HORRAY FOR S&G :rotfl:

I'm not sure whether to go into town on friday and risk that my fairly small Boots will probably have run out, or wait until the departure gate at Heathrow on saturday and lug it to New York and back. Decisions Decisions.

Hey all..... uuuuuummmmm is it normal for Boots website to be down at this time of night or are they bringing this deal forward some?

Ooooh, I hadn't noticed. Just doing a final sweep of the boards before I log off & tuck myself in for the night. Maybe I'll just have to stay up & find out. :rotfl:

I'm pretty sure they won't be changing the OOTW. Maybe they change their perfume/electrical/342 on certain items etc etc offers midweek?

I've never been shopping on boxing day!!! However much I'd like too I'm tied to my cold beef and mash family duties!

Sigh, I miss all the bargains!!!!
