I went into Woolworths today and...

[Ross]

I nearly got crushed to death.
I wasn't looking for any BIG bargains. I just wanted a few CD's, DVD's and a good old Pic 'n' Mix.

I was in the queue which was like (-----------------------------------) that long haha. People kept pushing infront of me and some ungrateful old fart kept hitting everyone with her huge ironing board and some woman slapt her and it all kicked off. They stopped women coming in with prams it was hectic maaan.

[Lauren]

Haha, I was gonna go... but I don't even have any money for a bargain.

[MarkWaldorf]

LOL it makes me laugh how some people can go absolutely crazy/exciteable over a bargain. Cheap creatures.

[Scarlett.]

Lol in Blackpool there where collapsed shelves everywhere

[Ross]

P.s: They lie, not everything is 50% - that caused alot of arguements. The poor staff.

[30stone]

Im going in there tomorrow, and i hate old smelly shoppers touching me...

or push infront of me they will get worse -.-

[pinkmichk]

i went in today was crazy people were chucking stuff all over and the line was huge

[Loukas]

People got trampled here. My mates went today for christmas pressies they said their was hardly ANY PIC A MIX, they had a fight with a couple of girls in year 7 for a huge bare of galaxy for 25p :P They one. They also saw a cheeky girls album for 3p. On the floor. It was SOOO funny apparently. Their was this woman that kept her husband garding a 42' TV while she ran to the bank LOL. I wanna go tomorrow it's free entertainment! :) :laugh2:

[30stone]

[pinkmichk]

[Magic]

Its so sad, the gran british public eh?
I feel so sorry for the workers, everyone moaning at them because the sale isn't good enough; thats their jobs that could go man.

[Spike]

I was in there yesterday and a lot of people were arguing and there was 2 fights. I couldn't stop laughing at what people do for a bargin

[BigSister]

I feel quite left out i want to see a fight lol
People are driving me mad though glad im off tommorow though

[Sticks]

I find this quite tragic that such a high street brand name could go down like this

:sad:

[30stone]

Ahhaha, me too! I'm usually very mild-mannered, but if someone purposefully knocks me out the way or budges me with their trolly or basket I usually hit back (no I don't literally hit them lmao). I usually push their basket/trolly so it whacks their legs, or I elbow them.

[\PJ/]

Never been to woolworths in my life lol.

[robb]

50%.........? most of the stuff is 10% if you're lucky......Cd's and DVD'S for example. Yeh, it is all a bit tragic. Damn I didn't see any catfights!:blush2:

[supernoodles!]

I went in wollies at the weekend to get a christmas present for one of my younger brothers and diddn`t notice any dramatic price cuts but I guess that was the weekend gone.I don`t go in much really,loved it as a kid but only go in now if im buying a toy for someone,which isn`t often lol.

[AngRemembered]

I'm surprised there were any customers at all let alone a crush, apperentley a cadbury's selection box is selling at 25 pence more than the whole companys value at £1..

that dont sound much of a sale to me :joker:

[BigSister]

I had to quote that i completely agree. Somebody got spat at and i thought that was disgusting

[Tom]

I went in for a few wii games and raided the pick & mix

[Jackie]

I might brave it and go tomorrow!!

[*mazedsalv**]

I complteely believe you. I was in there too today and the tills (which are near the entrance) literally ended almost at the end of the other side of the show, there was shoving, shouting, swearing... everything!!

[BigSister]

Im dreading going in tommorow im just gonna think of X factor final though to kerp me going

I feel so sorry for you and everyone in your circumstances.
The 'Great British Public' can be such twats :P

[BigSister]

Thanks magic:hug:

[Spike]

I'm going in tomorrow for a pick & mix and maybe some games
but I hate queues and the type of people which my local Woolworths attracts so i'm not looking forward to it. I hope there are some arguments and fights in there again to keep me entertained while i'm in the queue

[Sticks]

Why don't you spare a thought for the staff being laid off (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7779681.stm) :nono:

[supernoodles!]

Im going to go into the Middlesborough branch tomorrow just to see what its like and I wont be taking any **** let me tell you.I think its absolutly disguting behaviour that people have resorted to spitting and throwing things at staff and for what the sake of saving a few quid,I know times are hard witht he credit crunch and all but theres just no excuse!

[Dom:D]

I was going to go to woolworths today but then i might end up buying it for a quad lol:laugh2:

[bluehill]

ouch, I find it fascinating watching people in the store and seeing them get more angry by the minute until they flip.
How did your friend react?

[lily.]

This is what happens when bargain hunters over-react (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/30/nyregion/30walmart.html)


Very sad.

[Matt08]

Becca, any idea when Woolies is set to pull down the shutters for good? I've heard that when a Woolworths store runs out of stock, it has to close down.
