I don't think that they'll open a Webshop to be honest. It's not their style.

Re: Annhagen



i tried to check out that store 1206 but it was closed at 5 on a saturday.

as was the henrik flagship store but they were closing although there were people in the store and they wouldn't let me look for 2 seconds. i got really pissed and argued w them because i was leaving the next day, but the bitches didnt give a shit.

also missed the store down the block that carried rick, etc. by two minutes.

this is what drives me bonkers about europe. shops close saturday afternoon early and dont open until monday. how the hell do people shop? on their lunch break?

methinks europe will soon adopt a more friendly american seven days a week approach to selling. its stupid not to. i sort of hate europe now. or i guess i'm just used to the sos.

Re: Annhagen



So you american can shop 24/7 ? Put's some power in the word consumerism [74] Well yeah, of course it sucks when the stores close early and you have to wait until monday, but that wont applie to every store through out europe. But I think most of the small stores with a pretty small customrate and low number of employees like to have some free time and therefore close around 3-5 pm on saturday and have all sunday free.

Re: Annhagen



I personally would prefer it if all retail shops took on the "Taiwanese Night Market" mentality and opened when most people finish their 9-5 jobs and stay open late so that people can enjoy the shopping without having to rush to the store right after work to make it to the 6 pm closing time

*ahem* Alan Bilzerian.... I can't count the number of times I didn't get to make it over there post-work when i was in Boston!

Yeah, this is a great system, only that all nice daywalks when you're free from school or work would'nt be possible.

Too right, and that's one reason why I love shopping in Asia.

Re: Annhagen

While I can totally understand the reasoning behind 24/7 shops or those "taiwanese night markets", I usually sort of.. hm. pity the employees. Working on night shift sucks. Besides i doubt any of the shops that carry the brands I like could afford to open 24/7 or at night, without increasing the prices, something i am not exactly looking forward, especially since (to stay on topic) AnnHagen got so expensive the last two season.
A year ago i bought some tripple layered longsleeve with some sort of jersey vest, atavistic hood and scarf integrated for roughly ?160, now you won't even
get some asymetrical longsleeve for that price. pathetic and a pity. on the other hand so many more shops are carrying her these days, I guess that's the price you have to pay.

Re: Annhagen



I totally agree with you Albert. I hate the situation here in Germany, although it has improved lately with supermarkets closing at 10p.m. Before, if i had to work till 11p.m. there was no chance to buy food or something else for the household.

I want 24/7 here too!!!

Re: Annhagen

I totally and vehemently disagree here... opening shops 24/7 will not improve anything, things will only worsen.
Now of course it is convenient, but people won't actually buy more. Sure maybe a certain percentage won't order pizzas late at night
but drop by at the supermarket to pick up some instant stuff, however maintenance costs will horrendously increase for the supermarket, something
that will either be reflected in the price of the products (and anyone watching international finance markets will agree, that we don't need yet another
factor that drives up food prices), or quality, or the wages. And I personally don't see how you could justify bad quality, lower wages and more expensive food just with something trivial as convenience.
If grocery stores start opening 24/7 other shops will follow, to some extent at least, but somehow the increased mainenance costs have to be figured out, and usually it's the employees who will have to carry the burden. That usually results in either longer working time or like i already mentioned lower wages.
Either way it will result in less time to go shopping for those people (since lower wages too often results in having to pick up a side job these days), and such a minor thing as prolonging the shop-hours can send down(parts of ) an economy down a spiral. Now a booming economy can support a lot..not only an over-proportioned wellfare system but also ridicilous business-hours.. however right now we experience anything but a boom. Now i really sound like a gloom and doomer .. oh well ;-) can't be helped... however there are those who say longer shop-hours also invigorate business... wonder if the U.S is up to serve as a rolemodel *smirk*

Re: Annhagen

i was never saying 24/7 which is pretty absurd. just arguing for stores open til 7 or 8 on a saturday and sunday..their business would increase tenfold. the few shops in copenhagen that were open on sunday were doing tons of business.
