There isn’t even a sale on!
Following a few days when businesses pretty much nationwide closed their doors in order to protect both the customers and their staff from being pummelled by Storm Emma, Saturday afternoon saw the country begin to return to normal.
Now that we no longer need to stock up on bread and milk, and we’ve all gone a little stir crazy from being stuck at home for days on end, we guess everyone really wanted to get back out there and get some much needed retail therapy.
With that in mind, JOE reader Liam Gaughan sent in this footage from outside Citywest Shopping Centre in Dublin, and the queue just to get into the centre was exceptionally long.
He described a queue of around 400-500 people outside the centre at approximately 12.30pm, and Liam tells us that this was about half an hour after the centre had already opened for business.
Other people in the area also took to Twitter to report the massive queues to get into the centre:
