Shoppers have been filmed leaving Kmart stores in a mess after trashing folded piles of clothes and dumping them on the ground as end of lockdown madness sets it.
An upset customer filmed the trail of mess left behind at one of the hugely popular retail stores located in Sydney.
It's understood the footage was captured around the time the city emerged from four months of lockdown last Monday.
Massive queues formed outside some of the stores across Sydney with shoppers lining up at the stroke of midnight to be the first ones inside.
The video shows mounds of clothes covering the floor after they were ripped off their hangers on the clothes racks.

Footage of the wreckage was uploaded to TikTok with the disapproving caption: 'This is not how we do shopping'.
Social media users were quick to air their disgust and condemn shoppers for their lack of respect for staff.
'Appalling,' one person wrote. 'The disrespect for other people's property and the poor workers who have to clean this up.'
Another person added: 'If I walked into that for my presentation shift I would honestly just go home.'
Customers had their first taste of shopping in months after restrictions were eased when the state hit the 70 per cent double jab milestone.
Kmart stores in Blacktown and Mt Druitt saw dozens of shoppers queueing in lines which snaked 50m from the entrance just before midnight last Monday.
A spokeswoman for Kmart acknowledged the lines and chaos ensuing at Kmart stores across the state.
'In many of our stores today there have been queues to enter and to check out, as our team and customers adjust to new processes and government requirements including checking vaccination status,' she said.

'It's fantastic, it's nice to feel that you're living your normal life again, not restricted in your own house or in your own LGA,'
