    I was in Brown Thomas recently and its a mad spot - 90% of the menswear section is young fellas (like 15-16) browsing and buying godawful €200 tshirts or €500 shoes. And of course, plenty of canada goose or those horrible stone island jackets. They cant all be drug dealers??

    Not surprised to see a full canada goose shop, good jackets but now completely tainted. See also, burberry.

    I know a guy who works in Menswear in BT. He says exactly the same, nothing but drug dealers. And it's a pain in the arse for staff because they all pay cash and they have to send the till float to the cash office every time it goes over 1k.

    Menswear is on the bottom floor and the cash office is on the top floor, so as soon as 1 till goes over 1k cash you have to travel up with security to the top floor, and when you get back down to the basement level another till will be over 1k cash. Its pretty much a permanent job, especially around Christmas.

    1k is a ridiculous limit

    I have worked there before but in a different department. Most people pay by card. You'll empty the busiest tills every 3-4 hours during Christmas. It's completely different in menswear though because of the clientele :pac:

    I get that but you'd be bringing the cash to the cash office after every second cash transaction. That's extremely excessive. Do businesses on Grafton Street suffer a lot of cash robberies? I've not heard of any and i used to work on Grafton Street. If BTs are really doing that then their other security measures must be shockingly poor.

    There’s lots of fake versions of Canada goose being sold the last few years

    There was a place on Moore st selling knock off versions of Canada goose and north face - it was near the French bakery place.

    young guy I worked with in a spar had one that on first glance looked the real thing but the logo said “Cananda goose” - he didn’t like ppl noticing that.

    Yeah but criminals going in to BTs to buy tat in order to launder their money dont then rob the cash back out of the till live on camera. Preposterous.

    Large amounts of cash in a till is still a security risk. Duh.

    This isn’t anything new ... when I was going to school in the early 90s in Dublin ... I could never understand how some lads had new runners constantly and all the branded gear ... when most people hadn’t a pot to piss in. Some families who I know hadn’t an adult working could afford stuff that we couldn’t with two working adults ....


    The harder you work to earn your money the less likely you will be to waste it on branded stuff like Canada Goose. Its usually those that get handed state money that do. Pretending to be well off maybe. Not sure.

    I bet Brown Thomas & Harrods are sorry they invested in Canada Goose all the scummers in the shop roaring at each other. They will destroy the brand like they did to Burberry. I wouldnt be seen dead in one even if they do cost a grand,

    I love Canada goose, but there are so many fakes everywhere. I think I counted 20k worth of jackets walking out of a local school. Not one of them real, but looked like high quality all the same.

    Duh. Quite. I'm expressing my disbelief that BT classify 1k as a dangerous amount of cash to hold in a till. I worked a retail job in a different Grafton Street store and it was not the case there. Duh.

    don't believe that

    every one of these stores has those vacuum tube systems for delivering cash

    find it hard to believe that cash gets physically walked upstairs

    i love the haircuts the shaved heads with a nest on top, the filthy tatooed sleeve the white socks the grey sweat pants or black leggings / skinny jeans and of course the puffa jacket. Their birds are another thing mega handbags 10" of trowl make up and bubble lips to match the bubble sneakers the dark ronseal tan and the double platfoms as they mostly short legged fat arsed little mongrels!!.
