The Next Sale

Seeing as i work here i felt it was necessary of me to blog about their sale. Now everybody knows how crazy Next's sales can be but i didn't expect it to be as busy as it was today on menswear. At one point i was actually scared i was going to pass out from the heat and the lack of food i had eaten. Customers just kept turning up. There was a massive queue winding around the department and it was overall just way too hectic. Probably a health and safety risk from the amount of people that were in the store. Not only were there hundreds of customers but there was extra staff employed for the sale too which made it even busier. Apparently there was free water available for the staff but having not realised this until the end of the day when i went up to the staff room there wasn't any left. So unfortunately i just had to deal with the stress and lack of refreshments. Even though i have basically just been moaning about the sale it is actually really good for the customers. There are a lot of good bargains out there and for the quality Next brings with its products it really is worth it. On the first day of sale which was yesterday the store opened at 5 in the morning and i heard from another colleague that apparently the first queuing customer arrived at 1;15 in the morning waiting for the doors to open. Personally i think that is absolutely ridiculous, as good as the sale may be i will never be one of those people who gets up at stupid times in the morning to go shopping. A good part of the sale for me was the t-shirt. At the last sale i survived through i had a mens XL t-shirt in vomit green colour however for this sale i have a womens XS in red so not only does it actually fit me but it's a much better colour too. If you haven't already been to the sale then i recommend you go because it apparently lasts 2 weeks and there are some really great things available.
