Have Dunnes closed their drapery?

Hope B&Q does open up tomorrow as I think this weekend will be spent painting. I always find Woodies a bit of a rip off compared to B&Q

They have closed their drapery only store in Cork anyway, don't know about drapery sections in bigger stores.

Wonder how that works in places like Dundrum where you have to walk through clothes to get to the food hall, they may limit entry to the ground floor through the carpark only.

They'll probably dim the lights over the cloths and put tape and signs up saying do not enter and have a pathway to the food.

Surely these should open as they are an essential service. I do not like saying that but in this age, phones are vital. I have ordered a phone off the three website and I am being messed around by them. According to their website you get the phone the next day if you order before 4pm. I ordered my phone at 3.30 on Tuesday, I still have not even received an email saying when to expect the phone so it is looking more than likely that I will not have it until late next week at the earliest, so since Monday I have been phoneless and probably will be next week as well.

I know the virus is delaying it but it should not take this long. Spoke to a three rep yesterday who said the order was live. Before him I spoke to a lady on their online chat who said the order was not submitted properly but would not give me a reason why

Just really pissed off cos if the shop was open I would have it now. Phones are vital for communication, therefore an essential service. Surely they could stay open but with precautions. Christ I'm angry

They’re not an essential service and you just need to cool your heels, far too much “I have to have it now” in current society.

Couriers are working so the phone from three should be with you soon.

Commiserations though, three are a terrible company to deal with at best.

Why is it essential? Is there a specific reason why you need your phone. I don't need mine.

Why is it essential to buy a new phone?

Especially when everything is online..

Of course it's an essential service. I cannot visit my parents. Do you suggest telepathy ?

Exactly. What about an elderly person's phone that breaks? What are they meant to do? Or vice versa if one of their children's phone breaks? I'm certain I'm not the only person experiencing these delays. Surely they could run a system where you choose your phone, ring ahead and collect it. Same system for repairs. Or maybe just open once/twice a week

We should have a thread with what IS open, would be shorter :P

Muahahaha

The main chipper in my town has been closed about 2.5 weeks now while his only competitor has remained open throughout. Both of them are Macaris but related only in name. The one who closed was probably thinking it would only be for a week or so but hes almost three weeks in now and looking at his competitor grab all his customers. Some of whom might stay with his competition after its all over, its bit harsh on him for doing what he felt was the right thing.

Mom and Pop stores are going to have no cash flow soon if not already. This is devastation.
