Customer says " another impulse buy"

Why? Why do people do that ?
It's not wanted, it's not needed, it's not important, but click .

We're all supposed to be broke !!!

When I worked in retail we were told to target the compulsive shoppers. Sign them up to store cards, make them feel special.
Trouble was I knew it was an illness a compulsion. I would tell them the crippling interest rates, but it never stopped them.

Now they're all home alone with klarna or whatever it is.

After over a decade of cost cutting, rounds getting bigger, fewer and fewer postal workers on the ground, but the volume of parcels, especially at Christmas, at an all-time high, means I will be doing my shopping the old fashioned way.

I will get off my arse, turn off the bloody computer, put some clothes on, and go to the shops.
Job done.

All posts like this achieve is to turn the public (the very ones you are trying to get onside) against you and the union, relishing in causing problems for innocent customers.

Most of the public are ignorant
Some don't know we've been on strike
after the 2 day strike last week an OAP said to me "when you going on strike" :arrrghhh
People moaning about birthday cards not getting there etc
