    They claim to employ no children and pay a decent wage for the country. Keep in mind on the same country people risk their lives dismantling ships for €2 per day. Working making clothes is a sought after job.

    As bad as it is it’s better than no work for them poor people, no pup or rent allowance over there, penny’s literally save them from starvation, it’s terrible but the reality

    Where do you buy your own clothes just out of interest?

    Not for me but each to their own.

    Personally I absolutely detest shopping either online or in real life. Went into Arnotts with a good budget a few months back to spend on nice gear and within 5 minutes 3 seperate assistants had come up to me and asked if I needed help.

    I hate the feeling of being watched as I browse about so at that point I left the place and headed for Penneys where assistants leave you in peace.

    Yea cause they couldn’t be arsed, too busy congregating around a display talking about who got up on Sharon last night

    Shouldn't "Pennys" be called "Cents"?

    No, as it's spelled Penneys.

    I much prefer good old fashioned Irish disdain from shop assistants myself.

    For me that is preferable to 3 shop assistants who are fishing for commission all within sight of each other .

    Finding friends is difficult. Putting up with it or just not wearing Penneys clothes is better than being alone.

    If your mates are judging you because of the clothes you wear it's time to drop them like a stone.

    Some people getting way too excited about clothes, seen a good few Snapchat and Instagram stories today of people in there mooching around

    Like, have ye anything to be doing? Don't see the appeal in shopping for the sake of it

    People who count "shopping" as a pastime. Jesus wept.

    I find the outrage about this so funny. There is such a hatred for fast fashion bubbling at the moment. FF is a major culprit of emissions but where do we draw the line? How much emissions are too much? How much resource extraction is permissable before an industry comes under the ire of outrage? You don't get to criticise capitalism from an iphone (I know it's not that simple)

    Also something I notice is that we seem very remiss as a society to tell people what they should value. You see this among these social media guys, they made millions off it and now are pushing back in a quest to give meaning to their lives. Maybe people are happy to just scroll Facebook and buy clothes online. If the AI knows them better than themselves, what's the problem? People like stuff and that's not some peversion.

    Went to the one in Blanch earlier, toss up between there and Dundrum. What a fúckin circus, massive queue out the door and around the building. Nobody keeping social distance. Half the people queuing had no mask or had their mask around their neck or mouth with their big honkers sticking out. Little jumped up security guard too busy hitting on the girls to bother anyone about queue skipping, masks etc.

    Came out with my skin crawling.

    Oh well, got new fluffy socks and pyjamas I can wear while I recover from covid.

    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 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

    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.
