Although some of the more boutiquey shops look yet to get their first
customer. There's a posh shirt shop on the west side where the staff
looked suicidal last time I passed. The food shops are doing well.


Look at the prices of those shirts, they only need to sell 3 a day,
and they've paid their staff wages already. Tax and unit rental won't
be more than another couple of shirts, etc.


but why would someone buy a posh shirt whilst waiting for a train?


It's because Eurostar are still pretending they are a ground level airline,
so they need to have the same range of rip-off merchants you find at an
airport?
