i didnt-just wondering who ran to MFI, etc for the sales

 

no chance never in a million years
people that do are arseholes if they waited then the poor people who have to stand there serving them would get to have a christmas

 

we had to.

our iron broke and we had to get a new one.

Went in Currys and it was heaving in there,ended up getting an iron and a combined tv/video for my lad.



Dave.

 

i thoguht about going to buy a new office chair,, but couldnt be arsed

 

t on.
yeh i agree-as a store manager it aint on. MY asst manager had to go in today, and i got to to new years day

 

lol thats a bit harsh mate.....if the shops didnt open, people wouldnt go!

blame the money hungry corporations, not the shoppers

 

m8 i worked in a shop for years the only reason they open was cos other shops decided top as people wanted to go too the sales early

my be harsh choice off words but if you had to go in too work today you would not be happy as you would not have been able to drink xmas day

you are right is is down to the big cheeses off companys but if people did not bother and waited one more day then least more people could enjoy christmas with there familys instead off being stuck in work

 

you dont have to drink to be happy

 

im at work and i aint happy

 

Well said....I havent been pissed in over a year

 

I think virtually everything should shut down for xmas day and boxing day, no non essential stores should be allowed to open, ie pc world, curys etc.. and the rest of the usual suspects. Would the money these stores make on boxing day suddenly disapear or would these people wait and spend it the next day.

 

No such thing as an "essential store" IMO - no-one has any need to go 'shopping' for anything for 2 days IMO, every shop in the land could close properly for at least 2 days..

 

yes yes, i got sum supporters rich and tony

Now please email my head office and tell them they are money grabbing bastards-oh and yeh i didnt get any bonus this year

 

Gareth t you are right m8
but you know what i.m getting at
shops should not be open boxing day

 

Greg shepherd, i do agree,, but i also think aslong as people are willing to shop on these days,, companys are going to be more then willing to open up

 

Agree with you there too Gareth just feel sorry for the workers

 

Greg shepherd, i dont,, i wouldnt mind working myself dont really like the whole xmas thing

 

Yup,supply and demand.

They are getting paid after all Arent they?

 

Suggested it and got as far as the Sofa!!!!!!

 

thats cool u can take my place next year whilst i spend time with my 2 kids

 

stoo- u get everywhere lol, the staff do-but as management no, all i get is a day off in lieu

 

I went shopping today, because why the hell not.

If the shops are open, I'm going.

If they're not open, I'm not going.

At work tomorrow anyway...........

 

We are closed here for Saturday, but Sunday to us doesn't mean anything, So stores are back to opening.

 

sludge that takes the piss you would get no extra pay just day off thats no use to you kids that are sitting at homew woundering where there dad is

thats the reason i think shops should be shut christmas is about spending time with you familys
m8 hope you had a good one this year

 

i went the trafford centre with thousands and thousands of other tw@ts!! lol


all proper coonts we are I can tell you!! bought some clothes that I can wear out on the pi55 tomorrow!! was packed to fook though.

if you dont want to work get another job.

i think people shouldnt drink around xmas either, they should stop smoking... and burglars etc should all stay in... to give the doctors, nurses, police etc... a few days off!!

sorry guys santa didnt bring me the big tin of sympathy in my stocking that id asked for!!

 

cool,, aslong as its pays a tidy wage im there

 

well i decided to get a surround sound system for my bedroom xmas day, got up
early boxing day to try get a bargain only to find my fookin fridge packed in

so still watching it with normal sound but atleast my strongbow cold again

 

Hit the boxing day sales here at 7am! Was stuffed from Christmas day but they are worth it here. Got some nice shirts and ties for work. Was out by 9am! Well worth the trip. Got a couple of Ralph Lauren shirts for 40quid each so chuffed with that!

 

I KNOW MATEY. and i been in today as well, no time and half pay just day off in lieu again
