“First day of the Westside sale, and the store was a complete disaster,” the user wrote, adding, “People were throwing clothes everywhere, stepping on them instead of picking them up.” The narrative also recounted how a group of ladies sat in the middle of the store with their children, obstructing the walkways.
“The absolute height was when a group of aunties settled on the floor with their kids, like it was a picnic, blocking entire aisles. Meanwhile, the poor staff were visibly exhausted, constantly cleaning up after these selfish, inconsiderate people,” the user added.
The story concluded with a critical question: "Why is it so hard for us to shop like civilised humans instead of turning every sale into a kachra kundi?"
Netizens React To The Incident
The question left the comments section in splits. The post has sparked a wider debate about basic courtesy in public spaces and the need for better civic awareness while shopping.
