I’m American and I’ve never seen this in a Target ever. They must be severely understaffed at this location.

Is this only an American thing ? I don’t think I’ve ever seen something like this in the European countries I’ve been in

Same, the stores near me are never this bad

Right, the Targets where I live are pretty clean and maintained but other stores however, tend to look like the photo in OP. Like Forever 21 and Ross always look like a fucking mess.

Me neither, nor do I ever think I’ve been to a shoe store that keeps boxes of shoes on the shelves like that. I’m used to display models; find something you like, then you ask an assistant what sizes you’d like to try on.

I’ve been to plenty of places with boxes on the shelves, and it’s always been fine.

I was in InterSport yesterday during their sale and some boxes were on the ground. But employees put them back into their correct places

I raise my hand- I’ve seen similar in Australia’s Targets and Kmarts, though I must admit that was years ago. I haven’t seen this much mess in yhe shoe section over the past couple years but I also haven’t been shopping for shoes there lately, so all I’m saying is it can happen here too.

Can confirm, did a mandatory highschool weeks work experience in kmart a few years back - was the only person who cared to clean up the shoes.
Nowadays the shoe section is clean af. However I dont necessarily think it’s due to the workers - more likely less customers shopping for shoes offline.
I don’t generally buy shoes from those stores anyway anymore, I have very small feet so the selection sucks, but also none of the shoes last very long. Id rather spend $100 on shoes that last rather then $25-35 on shoes that fall to pieces after a month or two of use.
But when I do shop for shoes in these stores, I make a point to put the rejects back where they are supposed to go. That one week burned into my brain how painful it is to put away a mountain of shoes that people just tossed aside. So I’ll do my part to not be apart of the problem, and to make it easier for our poor retail workers.

TK Max is like this.

Well it sort of us getting there. But I think the stores sort of encourage that behavior.

Never seen it in continental Europe, but Primark is on a whole different level in the UK

Once you enter Primark, it’s MadMax rules

That is true, UK super- and hypermarkets were like this when I went to some of them. The attitude of customers is just weird.
rich@feddit.uk 10 months ago
It’s not “weird”, it’s increasingly normal
And I’ve noticed the general UK public have gone utterly downhill in their respect for others over the past few years. No one cares about anyone else anymore. Cinemas are ruined, shopping is a nightmare. They’re all pricks.
ma11en@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I work 4 on 4 off days then nights, which means I can go to the cinema off peak when there’s only a few other people there, it great.

I still have ptsd from some primark shops in uk…
Scenes I saw are now how I picture the locust plague.
How can some people be so unaware of basic society rules?

I’ve never been into a Primark, but this looks very much like TK Maxx (which is what TJ Maxx is called here in the UK).
