Woolworths in 'discounts not big enough' outrage.
Writing about web page http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7776634.stm
Bargain hunters have been flocking to branches of Woolworths on the first day of a store closure sale at all its 815 outlets across the country.
Several shoppers have contacted the BBC to say that the discounts on offer were no different to those introduced last week, and said they were angry after queuing to get into stores to snap up bargains.
Perhaps they were angry with themselves because they'd realised they were the sort of self-entitled jerk who queues outside a bankrupt business employing ~30,000 people on the assumption that said business is obligated to sell off it's remaining stock to them for next to nothing and who then complains to the media when they discover that said business is failing to cut it's own throat to satisfy their moronic myopic magpie-esque blood lust addiction for buying stuff just because it's 'a bargain'.

Thank god.. I thought I was the only person who was completely appalled by this, but didn’t know whether to blog about it. As you say there are 30,000 workers who will lose their jobs on CHRISTMAS DAY and meanwhile there are people bitching and complaining that they only got a 10% or 20% discount on stuff they probably didn’t need anyway.
I thought about going and visiting the store but just thought it would be too depressing – not only because of the scrums of people after bargains, but because of the poor employees who know they have to bust their backsides for the next week and a half before they’re out of a job!
Merry Christmas!
