    I reckon the sales have been shit for ten years. People realised and the shops started that predictive ordering where they get about the right amount so there’s not much actually left over for sales. I’m sure they’ll chuck a 50% off on some piece of shit so the discount can be painted across the front of the shop as a lure.

      They also have more ability to order and receive stock quickly so don’t need to carry as much stock themselves, and don’t generally do a big physical stocktake of inventory that was the impetus behind the Boxing Day sales (I haven’t even heard them called a stocktake sale in years).
