‘Nightmare': Aussies in shock over state of Kmart store
Aussies have been left shocked after bearing witness to the 'feral' state of the shoe section at a Kmart store in Sydney.
In a clip posted to social media, shoppers labelled the mess a 'nightmare' and demanded to know 'what is going on?' with the chain retailer.
The footage, which has been viewed nearly 30,000 times, shows an aisle at the Paramatta store completely covered in boots and other footwear – to the point where the ground was invisible.
Captioned: 'One wrong step and you're buried in $7 boots', hundreds of pairs could be seen stacked on top of each other, making the aisle unwalkable.
Viewers were quick to share their own experiences with the retailer, with many describing it as an everyday occurrence.
'I was literally there today and it was a f**king nightmare!' one said.
'I work at Kmart and it sucks,' one employee weighed in.
'Why is every Kmart in Australia like this??!! Those poor staff,' said another.
'I used to work around that area years ago and the amount of times people just threw stuff on the floor or wedged the items between the racks infuriates the ex retail worker in me,' empathised a fourth.
Kmart did not respond to in time for publication.
The incident came less a month after a group of teens were slammed for their 'stupid' behaviour inside an Adelaide Kmart.
The clip, which was viewed over 900,000 times, saw a prankster teen approaching a man in the store and asking him the time before pretending to take money from him via Apple Pay.
The prank, coined the 'Apple Pay' prank, has been circulating TikTok over the last few days. The goal is to elicit some kind of extreme response from the target for the sake of a viral video.
Viewers were quick to label the prank as 'dangerous and embarrassing'.
'This is a dangerous thing to do in Australia,' one person said.
