Boxing Day sales kicked off across the world today.
Lines stretched as far as the eye can see, and shoppers were patiently waiting their turn to snag a bargain. But with queues this long, are the deals really worth the wait?
Some are even questioning if Boxing Day sales are even worth it anymore, with Black Friday seemingly stealing the spotlight.
“Boxing Day sales don’t exist anymore,” a punter wrote.
Another was quick to point out the irony of the situation: “Yup interest rates definitely too low, perhaps a little retail therapy helps ease the financial pain?
There is a “cost of living crisis”, and perhaps the crowds are a sign that people are desperate for a bargain.
So… are these scenes of retail mayhem a national embarrassment or a testament to our love of a good deal?
Are the deals worth braving the crowds?
And, is Boxing Day losing its appeal in the age of Black Friday?
