Hundreds of people queued for over an hour at a Dublin gift shop as it sold its last remaining pairs of eclipse glasses. The shop, Designist, had ordered 2,400 pairs in advance, but demand far exceeded supply. Customers arrived early, some waiting nearly two hours to purchase the glasses ahead of the solar eclipse. The event, which was expected to draw significant public interest, saw the shop become a focal point for those hoping to view the celestial phenomenon. With the glasses now sold out, many expressed disappointment, while others praised the shop for its efforts to meet the high demand. The situation highlights the growing popularity of astronomical events and the challenges of managing consumer demand in such scenarios.
