you got there at what time?! i've never been into Next but i have to admit after hearing all my clients go on about their bargins i may have to tag along to a future sale!
I went to next clearance last week and got 3 bikinis, proper bra size ones, for £28!!!! for 3 bikinis!!!! and they were amazing!!!
I did sit at my computer and wait for the M&S sale, managed to order my stuff at 5.30 when the sale was supposed to start at 8pm muhahaha!
also I went on the matalan secret sale yesterday and got £100 of stuff for £50, but i went abit overboard and some of the stuff i bought i'm wondering why i did... a cuddly toy pear shaped door stop... hmmmm think that will be going back!

To be honest I've never understood what the fuss is about, next seem to take all the decent stuff in and bring out the same old crap from the last 5 years that's been in the storeroom. I went in today for something else and it was all sale stuff and I didn't bother to look

I work in retail ( not in next but next door) and I have to say I find people who get up and go at silly o'clock in the morning pretty selfish. Theres no need for anybody to have to shop that early and I know from experience of working in my own shop that were there til atleast 1 in the morning most of the week before sale before it's ready (unpaid might I add). Were then there at 8 in the morning , or 4 in the case of next, and have to deal with rude, arrogant people all day and clean up after people and then deal with people who moan that things are ripped. Also most people will return 80% of what they buy in sale. Sorry if you guys think I am harsh but it really gets my back up.

I was there at 4.30 queueing and got loads for the kids. I'm a next addict and go to every sale at stupid times to get a load of stuff for the kids. I got about , 20 outfits for my youngest. I have 4 kids so works out loads cheaper to stock up in the sale. I usually get loads of homeward as well but didn't get much this time xx

I got a microwave, kettle, toaster & cups for my new house, & bought my little sister a cute outfit for her birthday. I don't always go to the sale but glad I did yesterday as I got a right bargain x

So agree with you! I feel so bad for the staff who have to be working till and from silly o'clock and get nothing but abuse for it. I couldn't do it I'd snap lol.
I'm not a Next fan but popped into the Glasgow store yesterday whilst waiting to be picked up. Was there purely to waste time not money but I stumbled upon a pair of shoes that were just meant to be mine. Size 5 black patent wedges sitting in the size 9 section. Only pair left in the shop looked identical to the £150 pair from LK Benet I'd been eyeing up for ages but couldn't bring myself to spend the money. I'm in love 😍

purely selfless if u ask me!getting up at 3.45am to go and buy double the amount of clothes for my 3 kids for half the normal price!I can't afford to clothe all 3 at once on a normal shop.
I was home and at work by 8am for a fully booked day.
I wouldn't call that selfish.
in our industry we work late nights and weekends and Xmas is a killer but nobody feels sorry for us di they?
I fully accept that in this job that's what we do and we don't get paid for all the extra hours we put in.
When someone works in a shop that opens at theses times its part of it.xx
When I'm in Tesco on Xmas eve buying fresh vrg for Xmas day I dint boycott it because I feel sorry for the staff,its their job.
My kids loved their clothes and I may be knackered but I'm happy!!x

Love it bek! agree 100%
I can't believe a happy thread is being stopped in its tracks about people being selfish! I have worked in retail (probs most high street shops ) and it's part and parcel of the job! Plus you get paid! That's life! ;)x

I feel I better add I wasn't agreeing with it being selfish, if I was I'd be a bit of a hypocrite as if it was a shop I loved I'd probably be there camped out haha.
It's the staff being there late at night and starting really early when some customers are just plain nasty, aggressive and abusive( I work in retail and have experienced it too many times).
I maybe should have cropped my quote to the relevant part but don't know how to do it on iPhone 😊

Hey guys thats what a forum is about isnt it?
We are not all going to agree on everything because if we did we wouldnt bother posting comments or threads.
The way i see it is that a sale is a sale and if it happens to be at stupid o clock in the morning then so be it.
I will be there with bells on :D:D
:lick:
Next sales are ok. The children's clothing and office suits are the best to me.
I've done the early morning thing in the past and totally enjoyed it.
What really really annoys me is when certain members of the public go into the Next sale with about 5 family members and greedily fill up those transparent plastic bags with about 10 pairs of shoes and many many other items. I witnessed this yesterday in every single Next that I went into (there are 3 in my town). It makes me sick to see how people can be greedy for material things. My only belief is that the stuff is either resold or exported.
My boys are older now and would look at me very strangely if I bought them any item of clothing.
Bought 2 pairs of comfy working shoes; one of the Davina ones in black and a nude colour.
Someone's feet really stunk around the shoe section - should have given her my card to come in for a pedicure; or maybe not!!

That does annoy me too.The greed is awful to see and they are the ones that are pushing and shoving with no manners.
Some of us just want to take advantage of getting some nice clothes for ourselves or our kids.
I did the boxing day sale last year and my kids are still wearing most of it now so it does wash and wear very well.
I will be in there on boxing day this year in a massive que at stupid o clock because i too enjoy it!
:D

I'd love to get some home furnishing stuff but everything is always gone by the time I get there.
Next is fantastic for kids' clothing, you just can't go wrong there.
I don't get the VIP slot either; maybe I don't spend often or enough on my card, lol.

Ahh that's awful! Some people just do not care! I had the VIP slot last sale But never had the email for this one! :(
I'm sure people must sell it on as you see them with bags and bags of items! X
