    If your friends are making fun of your clothes and you get served in the local, I can only assume you are 16-18, give it a year, no one cares in college

    About 10 years older than that actually. I guess it's just something to talk about. Same as lads getting slagged for wearing pink, showing their ankles as another poster said, balding, or when an overweight ex or one night stand is mentioned.

    TL;DR: I would never wear cedarwood state boxers or other things obviously from Penneys.

    So now you are all insulting women over their body shapes as well. That's lovely isn't it?

    I never said it's a good thing, just easier to ignore.

    What a fúckin circus, massive queue out the door and around the building.

    I really don't understand it - queueing for Pennys! If I was down to rags I'd keep wearing the rags rather than queue to go clothes shopping. The news was saying people were queueing from half six. Half six! For what? They should be greeted at the top of the queue with a straight jacket.

    you can slag irish men about their clothes without being classist apparently....but not women..

    You have to be careful about that too. One time we slagged the enormous weird coat one of the lads was wearing and it turned out his other half had bought it for him. She's hated us ever since. We never saw that coat again either....

    This could be controversial - but a couple of things I often consider with Penney's.

    If the modern world is about equality - how come there is no serious ethical issue with buying cheap clothes , with staff and manufactures working at seriously reduced terms and conditions.

    Why do women support going out and buying disposable fashion - is this not damaging to the empowerments of women.

    And are we not all supposed to be buying less from an environmental perspective.

    I could be wrong and - the customers are 50/50 male female ? , but most of above still applies to anyone in there.

    But you'd seriously worry about humanity if they need to open Penneys

    Got a whole lot of things for Christmas

    And a lot for the family



    Is it just me or has the quality of Penneys clothes gone down in recent years? I went in to buy a blouse and the material on them were very flimsy. I also found the leggings pretty thin.

    I was in Penneys in Dundrum this morning at around 10a.m., and it was a scrum. Clumps of people at aisle intersections.

    Quite a crowd, and not much crowd control: I fled.

    I don't fancy admitting that I got my Covid at Penneys.

    Kinda mad that shops are not under an obligation to operate in a safe way ?

    You can shop in LostStock if you want to directly support Bangladeshi families who's employment was disrupted due to covid.

    Just don't expect to get it in a hurry. Ordered in April/May, only just posted yesterday.

    I went in once, about 5 years ago. Mary St or Henry St or wherever it is. Stuff thrown all over the floor. Was just looking to buy t shirts for holidays. It was the worst crap I'd ever picked up. Left empty handed. Kip. Told the girl I worked with that suggested Penneys to me the next day about the state of the place and the state of the crappy clothes.
    "They're not meant to last" was her response
    F that, if I buy something I want to have it this time 5 years not wear it once and bin it

    What a sh1t show in penny’s Liffey valley I went in to see what the craic was, late enough thinking it would be quiet, went over to the trousers section and there was a young one getting fingered, like what is wrong with people? Are they that hard up for a nightclub?

    Trousers are such bad quality that she just left them on for the fingering and it didn't take from the experience....

    If they live with their parents, they've probably not had the chance to get fingered indoors at night since March. Wait till the pubs reopen....

    Panic bought a shirt once, only reason was I hadn't any clean shirts left in luggage. Poor enough quality material.
    Normally would never shop there.

    And screw queues. For anything, anywhere.

    Yeah, I ordered them the end of March and got them in September. Two out of the three tops I'd wear, the other is going to charity.

    Not a hope, in their flagship store on Mary St Id say about 85% of the retail space is dedicated to womens clothes, theyve even got a nail bar in there now

    I only get socks and jocks in it and last time out the socks I got were so thin and see through I thought I was wearing womens black tights. Wont be buying them there again. Their mens ranges have shrank in recent years too, went looking for a belt earlier this year and all they had was a choice of about 10 of them. Theres probably 100+ in the womens section.
