I am VERY irritated by the stores' habit of putting the next season's
stock in before the current season is underway. Twice I have tried to
buy winter boots in February (my old ones having cracked in the middle
of winter) and found virtually NOTHING available. I won't buy the proferred
bathing suits until the temperature goes above 25C!! genradbo!mitccc!svw's
comment about clothes being cheaper in the off-season missed the point. These
stores think winter is the off-season in January!! By then, they are
clearing out their winter stock at sale prices. Unfortunately, if you are
looking for a specific item they are often sold out & they won't have anymore
winter stock till July. I thought capitalism was supposed to be supply &
demand. Who is buying these short-sleeves in January, anyway?? (a purely
rhetorical question)
with wet feet till May,
