That's excellent news...

 

Not so much for the staff at Bracknell, Torquay, etc. to whom my sympathies go...

 

 

Maybe if they had put a bit more effort and worked harder in promoting their store they would have made a profit and not be out of work now.

 

Was that a bit harsh? or am I being a realist?

Tbf, most of them won't get payed to promote they get low wages to stack shelves and clean. Therefore as long as they were doing their jobs properly, which isn't hard, then they are unfortunate to loose their jobs.

To be honest, M&S have been barking up the wrong tree for ages. If they're not careful they'll end up in the same dilemma as Woolies was. No market of which they are the leader. Reputations count for nothing, and that this isn't just... this is M&S... advert series was/is a joke from start to finish IMO. Frankly, I cringe and reach for remote every time I see/hear it.

 

John Lewis have shown them the way to go.

M&S is dying because all their customers are dying and not being replaced.

 

I can confirm that I am a young person and shop in M&S. Part of this is because I am too fat to buy trousers in Next (they stop at a 38" waist, y'know). However, I don't often buy clothes, so they don't get that much money out of me.

 

I did buy one of their cheese & onion sandwiches for lunch today, however.
