10. Getting Really Scared About The Mob Waiting Outside On The Eve Of The Next Sale
So Next is a shop that's renowned for its sales, attracting eager customers from near and far. Especially the January sales. Oh lord, any true Next employee will quake in their boots at the thought of the January sales. Arriving at work at four in the morning on boxing day will be one of the lowest points of your Next career (and maybe your whole life). Having to wander past two miles worth of queue to get to the front door and realise that every single one of these people will soon be tearing into your neatly organised sales displays within the hour is too much for a sane person to bear. It's exactly what you imagine Black Friday must be like in America. No, worse.
I love Stephen King and music festivals; I eat my toast upside down; I daydream about getting married probably a bit too much; and I wish every day for a pet sausage dog puppy (who never materialises – sob).
