I took a visit to Woolworths today, possibly for the last time. I didn’t buy anything, I left after 3 minutes, stressed by the number of shoppers all trying to get their hands on a bargain.
The cue for the tills was long. Very long. Stretching all the way round the store. I felt a little sorry for all the staff, working like slaves only to lose their jobs. Then it struck me.
Could it be a conspiracy? A brilliant marketing ploy by Woolworths? Announce you are having a massive closing down sale, cut all your slightly higher than average prices down, sell lots of goods. Seems like a pretty good plan to me.
Still didn’t convince me to start my Christmas shopping though.
