    I find it difficult to believe that anybody is so short of clothing they're prepared to spend 6 hours in total queueing inside and out of a shop in December. (or any other month for that matter).

    I find it difficult to believe that anybody is so short of Christmassy things to do they're prepared to spend time on the MSE forums on Boxing Day :)
  • Queuing is a stupid concept anyway. Plenty of other countries don't have this daft culture and they get on just fine.

    Why would the staff care how long you have to queue? You either put the stuff back and someone else grabs it or you wait. It will get sold either way.
    I do agree with you. I just had to let out some anger and frustration somewhere...without getting arrested. ;)

    We went into the Harrogate branch about 1pm, hardly anyone in there, and I have to say what an absolute load of tat, Ive bought better stuff at car boot sales. Tailored jackets were up at the front of the store and needed a good iron, I couldnt believe the state of them.

    Same at my local one in Bristol. I don't know if all the decent stuff is snapped up by the early birds, or if it's all tat in the first place. People were still walking out with bags full when I was in there though.

    The idea of a sale is NOT to get rid of main good sellers at a reduced price the idea is to get rid of stock that does not sell during the year or items you have overstocked in.

    as store will place a few good lines in the sale but most of the good lines will be sitting in the storeroom until after the sale. it is amazing how much stuff that people will buy in a sale and that they would not buy during the year. its the same with BOGOF offers.

    i have seen me have items selling at 50p and not shift any, but as soon as i place them £1 buy 1 get 1 free they shift like wildfire.

    Same as my local one. I've never bought anything in the Next sale as the stuff I've seen in the sale is just rubbish.

    That's what the VIP sale is for isn't it? Not queing?


    As for the op; you're always going to get people like that. Karma will catch up with them at some point :D
