Well done Brown Thomas

mfceiling

Went in yesterday to get the nespresso capsules (only bricks and mortar store in dublin that sells them) and guess what??

They have the full christmas shop set up.

Yep...christmas shop.

Now christmas day isn't in one months time, or two, or three or even fcuking four so what the fcuk are they at?

They might as well put the easter eggs and valentine's shíte out for sale while they are at it.

FatherLen

I don't know why they even take them down.

Well, it IS the end of August. I had been wondering why the decorations seem to be coming in late this year.

I'm just going to waffle in a non committed sense here and hope the thread moves on as I sense I've made an embarrassing mistake that I am as of yet unaware.

Give the head of marketing in Brown Thomas a pay-rise!

They've got people talking about them again; between this and the window display, BT to a good job of being Dublin's most high-profile Christmas store.

I remember I was on the Dart years ago, and there was a guy with a discman (yeah that long ago) listening to christmas songs .... in the summer.

Really, I thought it must be a mix CD the next song will be a regular one , nope another christmas song.

won't somebody please think of.......



the staff


think about it, "ahh sure <holiday that shall not be named> is 5 months away, thats got to be worth a 50% discount surely?"

the poor staff

mitosis

Pfft, someone who HAS TO go to BT for coffee complaining about the imminence of Christmas. World's gone effing mad!

Friend Computer

It's always bemusing to see how ridiculously irate people become about this. Why does it elicit such a response? Why does it bother you at all?
I'm not being facetious, I really don't understand this.

Oranage2

I bet those kids in Africa wouldn't complain having Christmas decorations in their local brown Thomas!

Chareth Cutestory

Where I used to work Christmas decorations would arrive in August and the dregs would be hanging around on sale until about mid March. I certainly wouldn't say it filled me with rage but the whole year revolved around Christmas, 7 months looking at the same bloody decorations began to drive me slightly insane. I understand it's the busiest time of year in retail but for the people who are surrounded by Christmas for so much of the time, it really takes away some of that warm/fuzzy/magical feeling that people get (unless you are a monster with a heart of stone) when it does eventually roll around.

When I was younger I used to love seeing Halloween decorations in shops but no one really gives a hoot about that anymore, it's just not enough of a money spinning holiday I suppose.

Feckin Xmas Trees in Brown Thomas, what is the world coming too.

Everyone is so distracted by the display, no one mentioned that BT is not the only shop that sells them capsules. Arnotts sells them too.


Now to the distraction, man that is ridiculous, it is getting earlier and earlier each year
