'Feral' Shoppers Slammed For Leaving Kmart In An Absolute State

Shoppers at one Kmart store in New South Wales have been slammed for being 'feral' and leaving the shop in an absolute state.

A TikTok user posted a video to her account showing clothes left on the floor or in a heap in the Sydney store after customers seemingly didn't want them.

While shoppers aren't expected to expertly fold clothes away once they're done, they are meant to have some level of decency.

The footage was uploaded after restrictions eased in New South Wales, which allowed retail shopping to resume.

Heidi asked her followers 'Sydney, what is wrong with you?' as the camera panned through the store, showing pants, t-shirts and all sorts of clothing tossed haphazardly around.

Another TikTok user posted very similar footage of the carnage, however it's unclear whether it's the same store or whether the recklessness was witnessed somewhere else.

People have been furious over both the clips that have been uploaded.

One person said: "I'm a manager at a Kmart ... this was so frustrating! My poor team was exhausted and the store was still trashed."

Another added: "Shows a level of disrespect I did not think was possible. Poor staff."

A third wrote: "What a disgusting mess, whoever left the store like that should be ashamed of themselves."

Retail stores in New South Wales were closed for more than 100 days as the state was plunged into lockdown.

Many shoppers were forced to do online orders for nearly the whole lockdown, which sparked a huge backlog in deliveries because of such a surge.

But when NSW restrictions were eased on October 11, there were hundreds of people who lined up outside one Kmart store at midnight.

Many have slammed the actions of the people who flooded the store just as Freedom Day arrived, arguing that there could be more cases in the state as a result of it.

Kmart has issued a statement saying they had loads of measures in place to ensure they were sticking to the rules and that the store was as safe as it could be.

A spokesperson for the company said: "We are lucky to operate large format stores like supermarkets that can have a number of people safely shopping and I can confirm that none of our stores have gone over these capacities this morning.

"We know there are lots of excited customers out shopping this morning, including at Mt Druitt and in some stores we have some lines of people waiting for registers or to enter - we often see this a short time after opening and we will continue to work together with our customers and continue to adhere to our safety practices and government requirements.

"We have been working with authorities and our teams to make sure everyone has enjoyable experience in a safe and friendly shopping environment."
