    Fuck Next for their 6am sales, dragging their staff out of bed in the middle of the night to sell old stock to selfish cunts who can't stop shopping.

    As a retail worker i simply get by by laughing at the imbeciles going out of their way, in crowds looking at stuff that has been on sale since the 22nd,23rd etc. Gotta love the high IQ Stephens Day customer.

    Will take a stroll around in the afternoon, will give the night a skip far too busy in pubs and clubs.

    I cannot think of anything worse than going shopping tomorrow.

    In fact, I cannot think of anything worse than going shopping ever, but jesus I've seen the inside of enough shops to last me til Christmas 2020.

    The junk they put on bargain rails isn't worth getting out of bed for.

    Is it true all the shops in Dundrum Shopping Centre opened at 4am one St Stephens day?

    There ought to be robust laws against that

    With the likes of clothes shops isnt it just crap they couldnt get rid of when they cut the price already? In fact most shops are probably like this. Will see if bargain alerts has anything online but not physically leave the house.

    The Crescent shopping centre in Limerick usually doesn't open on Stephen's Day, it is tomorrow, why? because Next and Tesco lobbied for it so now the other shops have to as well.

    Certainly won't be, but if a shop wants open and pay staff to come in so some people can buy some cheaper stuff let them.
    Better bargains online anyway.

    Its about 60/40 old crap to newly reduced stuff. Still no excuse for people to get outta bed for them.

    The only thing worse than shopping tomorrow is going to the pub tomorrow

    I'm going shopping tomorrow, not so much for the bargains, more because the missus says I am. I'm powerless to resist, that was one moist Turkey and she did yorkshire puddings...it's all a trade off really.

    won't be shopping, repeat of today except pressies.

    I did look online to see if you can buy sales items from Next Ireland but you can't, yet UK customers can stay in bed and buy all their items online at sales prices- a tad unfair- just thought I would moan about that

    The "sales" aren't worth going out of your way for. It'd be different if they were crazy sales like everything for a tenner or something but it's basically the same prices as a few days ago.

    Shops like River Island & TopMan have online sales now. 50% off most things, better than rustling through the crowds.

    Whatever people want to do with their time and money is their business, but I do think anyone shopping in Next or places like that at 6am are mental. Besides the fact that a lot of crap you don't need will probably be purchased, how can you possibly need something so badly that you go shopping for it that early.

    Parcel motel? Gives you a UK address and only costs €3.50. First use is free I think. Dead easy too.
