Anyone waiting for the boxing sales to go live online tonight?

As the clock struck midnight, I did wait
Boxing stance, I am ready, it's fate
To buy a punch bag
To hook and to jab
I'm dripping and won't hesitate
 
As said sales are so frequent now if you don't buy in a sale you're buying inflated costs.

Lego is what I watch the most and many sets are almost always on sale at some point.

Is actually really annoying how Rrp is meaningless to compare. Should be some more legal framework around it.
 
Reason for sales is 1. Things are too expensive 2. Get rid of things no one bought as horrible. 3. Get rid of Christmas lines.

Some retailers don’t reduce their Christmas lines much and just grace a sad shelf in March. People don’t want to buy Christmas stuff in March. As if they get reduced baubles etc they can put them into their boxes of Christmas decorations and put into the loft.

Retailers can claim something was originally priced at £1000 for a sofa if was that price in one shop for a few weeks.

worked at currys many years ago and you know the fun and tbh illegal practice that went on, you would get a new model of (insert random white good item) that was EXACTLY the same spec as something else but would be a slightly different model number, but price higher. come boxing day sales you would have them as "door buster" deals to get people in and slash £100 off them, and they would still cost more than the exactly same spec'd machine. the best sales back then where at easter as the companies are scrambling to get money in after the slow months from end of jan to end of march. the boxing day sales for the most part are a con and god knows how they get away with it.

Exactly. My friend wanted a new sofa and looked online on a couple of websites. One of the sofas had £1200 crossed out. The sofa in the showroom near her was only £1050.
 
Having to work today. Couldn’t book it off as app we use to book annual leave went down on my phone on day we could book time off around Christmas. By the time I reinstalled it (via the work intranet) and requested it, the day was booked.

Hate working BD as get customers coming up to me and my colleagues saying it’s a disgrace that we are open today. Why the **** are you in here when you think it’s a disgrace??? Either stay away from shops or keep your comments to yourself.

Then get people wanting to return branded items without receipts. Such as “my aunt should know by now that I only drink white wine” “my friend bought me this book and already got it”

“Do you have the receipt?” I say
“Er no. Why do I need it?”
“As it’s a branded wine” or “books can be purchased from anywhere”.

“Can i speak to a manager please”
Get a manager who say’s exactly the same things as me!

Customers who shop on BDs have never worked in retail and have no regard about it us.

This is my 4th BD in 16 Christmases. Not worked one for 7 years
