Easter Eggs Already!!!!

Ive been in retail Management for 15yrs and On Saturday Morning 22nd December we had the first delivery of Easter filled Eggs, Creme Eggs, Rolo Filled Eggs, These have to be on Sale Today Christmas Eve. So today is officialy, In retail Anyway, the first day of easter sales.
So may I be the first to wish you all a merry Christmas, Hapy New year and Happy Easter as well all mixed together .
No wonder people in retail are fed with Christmas, Halloween, Easter by the time they arrive.

Quite frightening really. Just think, if we continue to 'progress' like this, in three years time it could be Happy next Easter this Easter....

Don't interrupt me when I'm ignoring you!

I'd love to see things from your point of view but I can't get my head that far up my bum.


I like the 7 deadly sins - it's a good check list!

It's just sad, whatever it's about. I think it's about more than money, with retail psychologists and marketeers determining what pushes our buttons and then supplying our wants before we even want them. Somone really should tell them that they're actually killing the Golden Goose because they're putting people off shops altogether ... except of course they're not.

The only answer is that people stop buying.
