Mildly Infuriating

I feel bad for the employees who have to clean that mess.

especially because 1) it will be trashed again in 30 minutes, and 2) they get paid crap

Spot on. You don't see this at the targets I've been to thankfully

Some people are really disgusting and simply don’t care about others… it’s a shame, really and that’s the reasons we can’t have nice things.

I'm still in grocery retail and this is incredibly accurate. Corporate set expectations to be "Grand Opening Ready" throughout the entire day. Customers dig and dig through the produce department like there's going to be a bag of salad that is magically better in the back of the case. If expiration dates went down to the second, they'd look for the furthest from expiry.

It's super frustrating because we get 7 trucks a week for produce, so we have a very healthy turnover on our stuff.

This job has changed me (especially going through COVID in the South). People are animals.

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

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

Almost like moderate gains and taking care of employees takes care of the business. I'm baffled at how many CEOs force bad decisions in terms of immediate profits.

Yeah, don't expect me to pay Target prices if I'm getting the Wal-Mart experience.

Yup. Lack of employees and the "broken window effect". People see unmaintained areas and it just snowballs from there. This aisle probably had a few slobs leave boxes open and later customers figured no one cared and they got lazy too.

Even if it took 5 minutes. When I try on clothes, I usually bring back anything I dont want back to its original place and do my best to fold it/hang it how I found it.

Probably the same people who leave trash on the ground literally within a few feet of a trash can. Right up there with the people who drop bottles and cans (you were able to carry the full one), dump their car trash on the ground (saw a woman do this at a beach parking lot), etc.

Probably had shit parents who never taught them about basic respect and decency when they were growing up (which they'll now pass on to the next generation of dropkicks they squeeze out)

Fun fact, that's not even what "the customer is always right" is supposed to mean, although it's how it's used most I guess.

It was coined in relation to what shops should or should not stock - if customers wanted to buy something, then the shop should stock it, regardless of what they thought of the product.

It's not meant to mean everything the customer says is correct.

A very large group of people are just awful people.
