Default Stores tidy?

Hey, have a question.

While we were there in April, I accidentally ruined a bowl in the place we rent...so I decided to replace it.

I went to Kohls and was very suprised at how untidy the store was while I was there. Now admittedly it was a Sunday and staff may have been less but I I was wondering if this common for the area.

They probably had a Sale that day......the customers probably piled in there like there was no tomorrow because there wouldn't be a sale there again for a long, long time.....like 24 hours!

When I managed in a department store in Florida back in the dark ages (the 70's) I always had the Monday shift come in early to tidy up. I don't know if it was a local rule or just the store chain I was working for but being scheduled for Sundays was optional and I had trouble getting enough of the staff to work on Sundays and some times they get a lot of traffic on a Sunday. And pardon me but customers are great at making a mess in no time at all. You will even find a mess on a Sunday sometimes in a department in Nordstroms or Saks.

To answer your question, NO. The stores here are not usually untidy anymore than any other stores that I've been in across the country. However as mentioned, sales and weekends seem to leave the stores, especially clothing ares more unkept than during the week.
