All sales are on tomorrow with everyone jumping on the bandwagon. Next opens 6am every year hours before other retailers.

Yep, 6am in Dundrum. I'm up at 5:30 to drop my son who is working there from 6am.

Time to go to bed for me.

Enjoy your shopping!!

Ridiculous. People don’t give a ****e who’s being put out so long as they feel they’re saving a few €€€ on rubbish the shop couldn’t sell all week and people certainly don’t need

We laugh at the yanks piling into shops on Black Friday fighting over TV’s yet we do it on the 26th

You've don't have to buy tbf. Not a hope I'd be up on the 26th to do it. If people choose to that's their business.

Not really they earn twice or thrice the normal wage plus get time off next year.

Maybe some people just can't understand getting up before 6am the day after Christmas to buy over priced Penneys clothes at Penneys prices....

My young lad is more than happy going in tomorrow morning. Probably a bit of a novelty as it's his first year but that's what he signed up for when he took the job.

Nope, 1.5 times is the max and no time off on top.

In fairness people can only go sale shopping at 6am if the retail store decides to open at 6am.

No one is forcing anyone to do anything they don't want to.

Next is a very well established and successful retail business. To be successful and cover expensive rent, online competition etc they need to be innovative and these 6am sales are one of the ways they differentiate themselves.

Better to be doing that and keeping people employed than not innovating, closing down and blaming high rent etc etc like so many other retailers are.

If you work a bank holiday surely you get another day off

Nope, you get 50% more per hour, that's it.

My lad is more than happy with that. He doesn't care much whether he's working a Tuesday or a Sunday or whether it's a bank holiday or not provided he gets paid the 50% premium for Sunday and bank holidays.

He's doing 6 hours tomorrow (6am to 12 noon), then heading straight to Leopardstown racecourse for a day out with his pals which will be more than paid for by the wages he earns for the 6 hours work.

He's happy out with the arrangement.

My lad reckons there were hundreds of people queueing outside Next in Dundrum when I dropped him there just before 6am!!

Wilfuler.

No they dont. They also do not get any choice about working or not. I know cos I am retail staff and I am getting up now to go to work. I would love to spend today with my extended family and see all my nieces and nephews. I did not see any of them before christmas and I wont see them today. Merry christmas....

I worked in one of the Next Sales years ago when they opened at 3/4 am. I was happy with the cash and it gave me the motivation I need to get a different job as I knew it's not what I want to be doing every year.

I think your confusing innovation with the word greed
