Wacker The Attacker

I hate to hear of anyone losing their job.


However, there is a time and a place for this.

Standing yapping all day with the odd few sales of tights

I can't remember the last time I was in Clearys, did anyone even shop there anymore?

I was in there about three years ago looking for a suit (one for all occasions). Selection for me (early 40's) was dreadful. Got a Strellson in Arnott's instead.

Clerys has been going downhill a lot recently. They should have sublet the individual departments out to main High Street retailers years ago, they would keep the stock (and employees) fresh.

What's a floor walker?

She seems to have been more into auld gossipy chat than work. No wonder the shop got into trouble?

Unforseen consequences of the closure. Now where are people going to meet?

Jaysis, is it not enough that he's destroyed Lyric FM

Joe had to buy his tights from a discreet supplier. The cat's out of the bag now, though.

Once Marty stopped buying his hair colour products in clerys, the writing was on the wall

i bet this wan thought she knew it all just because she was there 44 years, the managers probably couldn't wait to get rid of her!

Retail equivalent of radio presenter telephonist I suspect.

Atlantic Dawn

"Orders", if you don't have things people want in stock they go elsewhere, it's a shirt your buying not a pink S Class Mercedes.

Yeah, and the only thing she seemed to sell was tights, hardly something to make her fortune on.

Wacker The Attacker

Shouldn't that be obvious to everyone

Atlantic Dawn

Perhaps the council could have funded a 1km travelator from the door of Brown Thomas to Clerys, that would have sorted it all out.

Wacker The Attacker

Jaysus, theres marty again

somesoldiers

What did all the workers do when it was closed there for ages after the flood?

the average age of the staff seemed to be 70+

Hamilcar

Times were tights then

ButtersSuki

Marty as a guest, then Marty in the ads. RTE know which side their bread is buttered.

Flukey

Now there's a coincidence. Marty on LiveLine and an ad for Winning Streak.

Not quite the same as a streetwalker.

You have to wonder, after being there that long why wasn't she management.

Hamilcar

Well she's a streetwalker now

ButtersSuki

Joe backtracking at the rate of knots there.

ThisRegard

Joe not letting those callers on complaining about him, and it's the closest you'll get to hearing an apology read out by him.

"I was very tempted" if I was there 44 years they would only have dragged me out screaming

Yeah, pretending it was the dentist who said it and not him. Such a chancer.

Shows how little they really cared. I'm astonished there weren't at least a hundred of them staying put.

Atlantic Dawn

They should turn Clerys in to an ice rink on the ground floor for the childeriden.

Atlantic Dawn

I presume their pension fund is safe?

If I was there 44 years, I'd be seriously wondering about my sanity.
