Serious Safety Hazard at Restaurant Depot – Unsecured Boxes on High Shelving

I was shopping at Restaurant Depot today when I noticed this pallet stored high above the shopping area.
As you can see in the pictures, several boxes are sitting loose on top of the pallet, with no stretch wrap, straps, or anything visibly securing them.
What concerns me most is how high these boxes are stored and the fact that customers and employees walk directly underneath them.
It only takes one box falling from that height to seriously injure someone.
I’m surprised this was overlooked in a warehouse-style store where proper pallet storage should be a basic safety priority.
Am I overreacting, or is this a serious safety hazard that management should address immediately?

New

I got my orientation tomorrow at Ground as a package handler. and I’ve heard from other people who’ve worked there that they don’t allow phones. I was wondering if any of the warehouses have metal detectors that enforce it. I’ve heard the same people they take their vape in so idk. I’m only working 3 hours a day 5 days a week so I’m not really worried about my phone until it gets really cold, but I def do wanna take my vape in lol.

Has anyone seen the tallest pack in the warehouse that can be shipped?

Seen two more like this and one was slightly leaning.

Recommendations for comfortable non-skinny work pants? (Company ones are terrible)

Hey everyone, I'm looking for recommendations for comfortable work pants. The free ones my company gives us are super uncomfortable and that hideous corporate blue color. I don't need anything crazy functional with a millions of pockets because I already hook a small pouch to my belt for my knife and pens and whatever I need plus a clip for my ID cards. I just want a solid, durable pair that isn't skinny fit, feels good during long shifts, and comes in decent colors like black, charcoal, or dark grey. What brands are you all wearing that actually feel good to move around in?
