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.
