DFS, surely. Not strictly closing down, but they've always got a sale on.

Every furniture store is always haveing a closing down sale....never actually seen one closed down. Curious

Had my fingers crossed there when I seen this thread bumped!

Such a disappointment when you see he hasn’t keeled over.

Yo momma so dumb she bought a sofa at full price

I think they are all at it, but sports direct and the sofa ones take the piss a bit more than everyone else. 
 

back in the olden days I had a summer job in Woolworths. They had a couple of shelves at the back of the shop with all sorts of stuff on. I was told it was back there as no one would pay that price for the stuff. But there was some law they had to sell something for a certain number of weeks before they could then say it was the RRP and have it with a sales price on. Every Woolworths had these out the way shelves with different stuff on,  so in however many weeks time they could roll out that stock at the fake sales price.

 

the worst ones now seem to be online places that have the countdown to end of sale. then another starts the second it finishes.

All the protein shake companies seem to work like that.

I'm not a cunt so I don't want him to die or anything like that. But I'd get spectacular joy if news broke that he'd gone bankrupt and become destitute.

Yeah that's correct, it's why at Xmas you'll see random stuff being sold at ridiculous prices and to then in the sales be put out as a loss leader (as no one bought it).

 

Most sales are the biggest cons going especially with Amazon etc nowadays.  Just use a price tracking website.

Don't worry I'm a cunt enough for 2 people when it comes to that fucking fat piece of human scum.

Unrelated but the Cheap Chart at Woolworths followed by a trip to Music Zone/MVC used to be my go to when I wanted to spend £20 on six or seven new albums I'd not listened to. Great days

In the branch I was in, the media department or whatever it was called was viewed as the best bit to work in. Lowly summer staff were not allowed in that bit! 
 

the Woolworths hierarchy was media cd/dvd department with its own til, followed by the sweets and crisps department and the rest the newbies had to work in.
