Done the Christmas shopping, battled my way around the town centres, and browsed away online.
One thing that I seem to notice this year is how tired everywhere seems to look. The supermarkets have half hearted efforts, low stock etc.
The main toy stores look just as bad, half of the items I would not give to anyone with the packaging looking like its been opened many times.
Computer superstores look like they cannot be bothered to re-stock the shelves.
No matter where I seem to go, the customer service is poor, stock is poor, and the general look is shabby. I do not remember a year when so many 'top' items are out of stock or withheld from stock only to be sold as priced up packages.
Maybe it is just me but there just seems to be no sparkle this year. I now wonder what the January sales will bring, will there be anything left to sell, would anyone actually want to buy the remains of this Christmas.
Ding Dong Merrily oh *sigh*
