Bert Raccoon Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Worst thing is the Boxing Day sales seem to be full of shite that they've had in storage all year round that no one actually wants to buy anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife worked in retail fashion for years, late finish on Christmas Eve and an early start on Boxing Day was typical. Absolutely shit when the kids were young. There was no need for it then and no need for it now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The type of people who go to boxing day sales are the same thick as pig shit people who are too stupid to realise that boxing day sales haven't been a thing for at least 15 years now. It's the same as black friday etc - yes it was good the first 2 years now its just a ploy to sell utter tat.

'WellDel Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 100%, Boxing Day sales and such are just ways for shops to offload the shite they haven't been able to sell the rest of the time to gullible arseholes who are willing to get our their bed and piss their money away, while the sane population enjoy their festive relaxation. Unless you are a size x small or xxxxxl, there will be f**k all to fit you anyway. 1 hour ago, red23 said: The type of people who go to boxing day sales are the same thick as pig shit people who are too stupid to realise that boxing day sales haven't been a thing for at least 15 years now.

She sits in the corner with a misreable puss, not taking part in anything and generally not adding anything to do the day other than eating more than her fair share of xmas dinner without saying thank you to whoever cooked it. She then gets up at 5.30am to go to the sales. Like the complete sad sack that she is. That special portion of undercooked turkey served up to her should kybosh the miserable boot's Boxing Day plans. She'll be up at 5.30 am all right, just it won't be to go to the sales.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 They sometimes do ridiculously cheap deals on last year's stock they want rid of as a loss leader, like tellys etc that you wouldn't get as cheap online. I went really early one year to pick up a couple of things I was after for a fraction of the normal price, think it Jan 2 rather than Boxing Day though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always have bad days but you've got to make some effort with people sometimes, especially at Christmas.I generally enjoy when these folk piss off, when other folk can point out their misery and then get on with the evening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 (edited) You could recreate the Boxing Day sale experience accounting for Covid restrictions by throwing all your clothes in the shower cubicle and just rake out the ones you want to keep.

coprolite Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 My mate was a manager at a high street retailer and if they had slow moving stock they put it in a basket and wrote the (same, unreduced) price on a dayglo star. Because it looked like it was on sale old biddies snapped it up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Folk that go to these sales are the same morons who come out with "I paid £50 for this (piece of shite). But it was down from £250". The amount of idiots who pay over the odds for absolute rubbish just because it used to be marked at a higher price is absolutely unreal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florentine_Pogen Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Tell her about the internet and tell him to tell her to GTF.Concise and to the point, Zen. However, I suspect this woman is a Retail Truffle Pig, she foregoes t'internet in order to be able to root around in the marked down tat cages and get into a fight with someone over the last pair of 100% man-made-fibre jeggings.Feel sorry for the half-baked erse that married this harridan.............. actually, no, I don't, f*ck him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I'll be hanging out the back of Belstaff like a love sick puppy when their sale goes live. Wanted a panther for years, can finally get one. But. I. Might. No. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
