Thank you, my youngest son works there & it's a worrying time - your post is appreciated
but I did used to buy Christmas stuff from them…paper, cards, decorations that sort of thing
If they sold the kind of things I needed, then I would buy from them.!
Quite, and if they communicated with you & the rest of their market properly they would sell more of what people needed & wanted.
They obviously didn't listen to their market and are now in trouble.
Maybe if they saved on salaries by investing that money on Robots to do the picking & packing this would have helped? No one needs to be wasting money on people to pick & pack these days.
They haven't kept up with the times, it's better they're gone. Market efficiency kills off the weak. Old world thinking. Amazon have butchered them.
I used to buy from them before I started to make my own Christmas cards…..(oh yes….I do this for others too and on average donate £500 per year from the proceeds of my card making to MacMillan .cancer Care…taking not one penny out of the donations for the stuff that I use to make these bespoke cards) and as for wrapping paper…I no longer have the need for this because the children are now grown up and do not want presents that need wrapping…they much prefer money transferred to their PayPal accounts.
I have got to a time in my life when I have all the Christmas decorations I need……having had 50 years of collecting these.
So….no I think your assumptions of me and my spending habits are just a bit off.
If they sold the kind of things I needed, then I would buy from them.
At 74….I actually need less ‘stuff’ in my life….not more!
Good on you Marge, you tell em.
