There were crazy scenes at Kmart stores across Melbourne as crowds rushed through the doors as soon as lockdown lifted, but not everyone was happy about it.

While many Melbourne residents marked the end of lockdown with a drink at the pub, there were others that had something else they were desperate to do.

People flocked to the 24 hour Kmart stores across the city and lined up out the front of the stores until the doors opened at 11.59pm. Shoppers Melissa Cook and Marie Denetsos has been in the line outside Kmart Burwood since 6pm for the midnight opening.“I’m so happy and excited, it’s good to be able to do this again,” Ms Cook told theSo many people were desperate to get through the doors that Kmart had to set up a booking system to keep numbers under control.

“We will open our doors on Wednesday 28th October, but for your safety, we will limit the number of customers allowed in a store at one time for stores located in Metro Melbourne,” Kmart said on its website. “Our Social Q app is here to save you time and get you into store as quickly as possible during busy periods – either use the app before you leave home to save your spot in store, or if there’s a line when you get to store, use the app to save your spot without lining up.”

Third wave alright

I thought it was watching an American TV news segment... we are turning into a chicken wing nation. This is tell-tale sign of class divide and low IQ

All Kmarts have been open here in N.S.W the whole time. No wave here. Get a grip PEOPLE. Do you want to stay locked up forever?

Stop the BS fake news

There's 5 people about 3 AFL balls apart from each other and a guard. Yeah crazy scene 😀😀😀

These people are just doing some shopping the same as others do at Coles and Safeway. I count 4 people and a guard. Hardly a stampede. Stop being so negative and let people have something after being locked up for months by Dictator Dan. Be happy everyone..😊😊

Whatever floats your boat

Crazy 😜 behavior

Part of me hopes there is a 3rd wave just to prove that Lockdowns don't work. It's all about contact tracing. Just like NSW have done. One again you will not eradicate the virus, we have to learn to live with it. This is proof that we cannot handle a new normal.

what the hell for its just china crap you can buy anyway

Did Kmart have toilet paper as a special

So many idiots

Just some casual 'behind the scenes' photos of the upcoming third instalment in The Covid Saga. 📷 Apparently the sequel - Lockdown - just wasn't enough. 🤦‍♀️

Shopping at Kmart not supporting local businesses. Unbelievable, these are the very people having a go at Dan Andrews.

Haven’t these poeple heard of the internet?

Good on them all. It's about time things started to open up and that we all get on with our lives. If you're still unhappy about it, take your own advice and Stay Home.

I'm happy about that awesome Jurassic Park top where did you get that lady

We all want things to go back to normal, but for fuck sake, TAKE IT SLOW!

Stupidity

This coming form the company that spent the last 7 months advertising Kmart great deals

It’ll happen......people are stupid animals. 🤦🏼‍♂️

What a bunch of kmarttragics. SMH

What does someone honestly need from Kmart at 12am at night!?

If the IstandwithDan are too afraid to go outside and go shopping thats fine. Just remember that on election day. Its too dangerous for you to go out and vote. Meanwhile shut up and let the rest of the state get on with their lives.

Bunch of 🤡. Probs MurdochGutterMedia followers. 🙄😒

Whats wrong!!! Window shopping sickness!!

Here come all the dumb comments about k mart clusters etc. because their simple minds virus magically appear when more than 5 people are in a room the size of an aircraft hanger.

They had to book and leave details to get in. Sounds pretty responsible of K-Mart to me. What do you want. No restrictions and still stay home? I really think some would like to stay with Dans Lockdown forever and just cosy up with him over a Scotch and Donut via his Pressers.

Ok yeh it’s Kmart, but not sure what they’re doing wrong... most seem to be pretty well distanced and masks are being worn (yeh except those two bright sparks who chose to be interviewed and named while hugging in the article without one having a mask on...)

Lemme guess, sold out of loo paper? 🤨🤪🤣

😐😐

All I can say is Baa, baaa, baaa. What a pack of desperadoes. The shop will be there tomorrow😳🙄

Those not happy I assume we’re those IStandWithDan killjoys. As long as it’s done sensibly, there really is no issue at all.

This is the returns desk..

This is the new normal in the UK... not at midnight of course. Just in general.

They have masks on what's the problem?

crazy stupid is the better choice words, kmart cluster waiting to happen🤦‍♂️

at least they are wearing masks and Kmart still exists?

Naturally it would occur at a Kmart given 's marketing arrangement
