I notice as with previous years the majority of the idiots storming through the doors like rabid animals were ethnics, predominantly orientals again. What is it with these people?
Despite all the media and retail hype the 'sales' are mainly a load of bollocks. Some people really will fall for any old pony.
I imagine it maybe goes something like
1. Increase prices on selected good 28 days before end of year (i.e. buying frenzy period)
2. Reduce prices of same goods to about what they were for the 'sale'.
3. Put prices back to normal after a few days.
4. Give sales a legitimacy-look by flooding the shop with 'special purchase' shite, preferably with the same red sticker as any sale items.
