After christmas,I took a job in the clothes department at Graham's for the first fortnight of the January sale.I can't say that I enjoyed it,but it was an experience I'll never forget.
I could never understand why there were so many things in the sales.Now I know the secret!Firstly,there is the special winter stock and the stock that people buy all the year round.Some of these things are silghtly reduced.Secondly,there are the summer clothes they couldn't sell last year;there are heavily reduced to clear them.Thirdly,there are cheap clothes bought in especially for the sales;these are put out at high prices ten days before the sale begins and then are reduced by 60% in the sale.Lastly,they buy in"seconds"for the sale and they are sold very cheaply.
When I arrived half an hour before opening on the first day of the sale,there was already a queue around three sides of the building.
When the big moment arrived to open the doors,the security guards,looking less confident than usual,came up to them,keys in hand.The moment they had unlocked the doors,they hid behind the doors for protection as the noisy crowd charged in.I couldn't believe my eyes;this wasn't shopping.It was a battlefield!One poor lady couldn't keep her feet and was knocked over by people pushing from behind.
Clothes were flying in all directions as people searched for the sizes,colors and style they wanted.Quarrels broke out.Mothers were using their small children to crawl through people's legs and get hold of things they couldn't get near themselves.
Within minutes I had half a dozen people pushing clothes under my nose,each wanting to be the first served.Where had the famous English queue gone?The whole day continued like that,but I kept my temper!I was taking money hand over fist and began to realize why,twice a year,Graham's were happy to turn their expensive store into a battlefield like this.
In the sale fever,people were spending money like water without thinking if they needed what they were buying.As long as it was a bargain,it was OK.
You won't believe this,but as soon as I got home,I crashed out for four hours.Then I had dinner and went back to bed,fearing the sound of the alarm which would tell me to get ready for the second day of the sale.
