Here are some reasons why I'm turning anti-boxing day:
- The Carpark - people yelling and cursing at each other over who took whos carpark.
- Inside the shopping centre - people are pushing and shoving like it's the end of the world. The stuff isn't even that cheap I don't see the need to push people out of the way.
- There are not enough sales to go around for everyone - some people will just hog up everything.
- When you do manage to find something in the messy piles, the line to pay is like 10x longer than the time it took you to decide on it.
- Notice how it encourges a lot of impulse buys?

This was the first time in a about 5 years I wasn't working Boxing Day in retail. Its just as bad being a sales assistant. People are so rude and cranky with you. Its such a horrible day. That's why I opted for online shopping this year.
ReplyDeleteI was proud of myself I didn't even venture out into the boxing day sales madness! - The online shopping is such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI prefer to go shopping after boxing day, like after the new year because the rush has died down and stuff is even cheaper. I like to work on boxing day, public holiday rates =)
