    Pennys for 2 euro

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    They were sold out in HMV and Heatons. Penny's had never heard of them. I eventually got them in Pamela Scott of all places! €12.99 The next day they were the Thursday special in Aldi for €2.99 :( the very same ones. Unlikely there'll be any left at this stage though

    On Christmas Eve I went to Dealz (only tiny stretchy ones), Carrolls in Henry Street and O'Connell Street (ditto), 3 men's shops in Clery's, plus DID there (none) and women's shop (adorable women's ones with fur around wrist), American Apparel (wrong size), CompuB (wrong size), HMV, and finally got them in Muji, dear but really nice gloves at a size that fits men, proper warm gloves and touchscreen too. "They're like magic!" said happy giftee.

    Experienced the dismissive attitude that's now part of the Irish persona from many, very kind help from eastern and western Europeans including barely-English-speaking but kind security man in Carrolls in Henry Street, nice woman, French, I think, upstairs in American Apparel, people who helpfully suggested other places in CompuB and HMV, and lovely people in Muji.

    What is it with the attitude of Irish people in shops nowadays? And not just in shops. There's considerable ahfeckoffsoness in the Irish self-presentation of the 1980s onwards, whereas it used to be that the go-to Irish attitude was "can I help you? can I go the extra mile? if I can't help you, can I bring you to the person who can?"

    tbh, in general, I don't ever remember Irish retail staff having that attitude. That sounds like more of an American thing. As a general rule the Irish are a surly bunch when it comes to customer service. There are exceptions of course like any walk of life

    The Celtic Tiger killed the kindness. Before that, a job was what you earned your money from, and you liked people; after that, you considered yourself above service work, and treated customers with the contempt your personal sense of entitlement mandated.
