Stopped at Target to look for some shoes.

    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

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

        That is true, UK super- and hypermarkets were like this when I went to some of them. The attitude of customers is just weird.

        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).

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

      It’s not an “American” thing. There are zero stores like this where I live. It’s a “wherever this store is” thing.

      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.
