Christmas Shopping: Dump The Men, Grab The Bargain

Seems Austria has the right idea when it comes to Christmas Shopping…
In Salzburg they have found a solution to one of the peskiest annoyances of that end-of-year pastime- MEN! … says EUAustralia shopping reporter Emma Cillekens.
During this pre-Christmas rush, since 13.12.07, women of Salzburg have been able to park their other half at a specially designed tent, that entertains the boys while the girls shop for the festive season.
The crèche-like facility offers boy-toys like computer games, toy racing cars, and even magazines including Playboy.
From four to 10pm the men can chill out in the refuge and even have a beer.
But it’s not just the men that win out, the ladies gain a testosterone-free shopping experience devoid of whingeing uninterested spouses.
So… looks like everyone wins!
This marks the second year that the city has carried out the daycare-style service.
Of the 1500 men checked into the service last year, not one was left unclaimed or abandoned by their partners.
The service is free- so what are you waiting for girls… dump the guys and shop till you drop!
