Melbourne

I'mI was answering a question elsewhere and it reminded of what I saw when I went to Kmart today. The store was in an absolute shambles! I mean when I first went in there was a staff member taking things off the shelves in the ladies clothing section that didn't belong and throwing them into big steel cages on wheels that were full of the most random stuff; my first thought was "gee that's an odd way to pick an order" lol. Then as we wandered around I started to notice that, around most of the store the place was in utter disarray. Packages torn open with items missing, and nothing on the shelves corresponding to the shelving tags. But in kids clothing and toys it was absolute carnage. It was like fully 80% of the items had been just ripped off the shelves and thrown back in completely random. I've truly never seen anything like it in my life! Shoes weren't in categories, they were just randomly mixed up and placed on any hanger all together. Shoes were in toys, toys were in homewares, food was everywhere, like a rock star trashed a hotel room. Elder was disgusted by the discovery of random Cheetos and food remnants just shoved in amongst the toys on the shelves, crumbs everywhere. He wanted a NERF gun and had to take care to find one which was unopened and unpillaged from. Many packages were ripped open and presumably stolen from. It was in such a state that I don't honestly know how you'd even begin to sort it out! A percentage of the stock had just been chucked on the floor and left there. Surely this is not a normal post boxing day sale thing; I've seen the old days of Fosseys and Forges and I've done boxing Day sales in the past. This was just incredible to see, like in part the store had been deliberately wrecked. I just had to share my middle-aged shock somewhere.
