Honestly it probably is Kore stupidity than spite
Trip on one of the pots on the ground and tumble yourself into the racks to create a domino effect
And then sue them to kingdom come.
You could send a tip to an ADA lawyer. Or maybe report them for not meeting fire code.
Start with the complaint to the town as that is free.
Agree! And to add for OP I’m sure the Fire Marshall would love to hear about how people can’t get in or out of the building. Fire Marshall is probably the fastest option for everyone’s safety.
Good for you OP for keeping your community safe !
ADA lawyer
The photo shows a Shoppers Drug Mart store, which means OP is in Canada. I’m sure there’s a Canadian equivalent though.
An Act to ensure a barrier-free Canada (the Accessible Canada Act)
Nobody wants to shop anymore
Millennials are killing the shitty supermarket plant industry
So you’re saying this large chain-store put out a bunch of free plants for people to take at their leisure?
OP, just move the racks.
And just push the skid out of the way, too? 😵
Idk what a skid is, but I see wheeled racks lol. Easier to ask forgiveness than permission.
Idk what a skid is
It might also be called a pallet where you live. It's that large, heavy, wooden blue thing at the end of those racks. It doesn't slide, so you need a forklift or hand-pump lift to move it.
I mean, I have no problem moving shit that's in store aisles to get to the shelves, but there's too much liability here for me to move large plant racks, even if it was easy.
The shit has wheels and isn't behind a fence. Move it yourself, tell them to fuck off, and go back the next day and move it again until the management give up. What are they going to do? Get a police stake out? Hire RoboCop to uphold the law? Never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity.
Allow us to introduce you to... malicious incompetence.
Except in American MAGA politics, where an idea is usually conceived in malice, but carried out incompetently, then blamed on Democrats when it predictably goes wrong. It's called The MAGA Razor
OP's picture is in Canada though.
Which is why I specified AMERICAN politics. It was just an observation about the changing nature of Hanlon's Razor.
It's not the only logical argument that MAGA wrecked. Godwin's Law has been watered down to the point where even Godwin himself says it doesn't really apply anymore.
Fair enough. That's what I get for shit posting (as in skimming through threads on the loo)
Stupidity and malice very often go hand in hand.
How can I upvote this comment more than once?
Wow, what a maze. Are there accessibility laws that might be violated where this is?
i suspect that area is visible for the cashier and the little camera dome under the ceiling in the background
This has to be a fire code violation or something
It's a little ironic that you say they hate shoppers with a shopper's store in the background...
Ah shit that means they're Canadian, the management better apologies..
I'd be tempted to just drag them over to the other open area you mentioned and see if they do anything about it.
Work without pay? This store is playing the long game! LOL
Shove them into the street. That'll get someone's attention. (preferably not when cars are coming, but that's pretty optional too.)
I've seen three Sobey's do this for many years. I assumed they didn't have to right to use the parking lot like some other stores do, since the lots are never full. Totally on them for not managing their stock and making it our problem.
They have a lot of space to work with, but chose to pile everything in the section right before the door.
And there are no curb cuts in front of the store, only at the entrance past this gauntlet, so someone in a wheelchair would be SOL.
Walmart does this all the time.
