The long line that dragged on yesterday could not be missed.
Sonia Kravchenko, a customer who arrived at the scene yesterday, told Israel Today that "I arrived at 8 in the morning to be first because of the good prices, and I did enter first. Everything worked properly, the guard put people in as soon as people left exactly as instructed. "To my amazement, when I was at the checkout, people broke into the store and knocked down an older woman. I was in the market. I hope nothing like that happens again, it was really scary."
As first reported in "Israel Today", Zara's store in this mall has become a temporary outlet store, and most of the items are offered there at prices of NIS 30, which has caused consumers from all over the country to come to the place.
The reason why the store has become an outlet is that it is expected to close immediately after Pesach and will be replaced by an international Potlocker chain store, which is represented by the Fox Group.

Zara's customers have expressed their anger on social media.
In the "New Stages" group, one of the customers said that "in the morning, a lot of customers stood outside the mall to enter Zara's store according to procedures. After five hours of waiting, the mall's staff member came out and said the store was closed for the day.
It should be noted that people waited from the early hours of the morning until 15:00, and I am one of them.
I stood from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
In the end they did not let in even though the customer service at the bazaar promised that we would enter the store.
People came from Kiryat Ata, Jerusalem and other distant places.
It is an indescribable insolence, you will be ashamed. "
There were those who also responded to the post with criticism towards the customers who complained.
One of the surfers wrote that, "With all due respect, this is your problem. I would never wait more than 40 minutes in my life and that too under pressure."
Another surfer added: "What happened? Gifts are distributed for free?".
Another surfer wrote "Is it all for clothes? Really embarrassing", and another concluded: "People have lost it completely".
Mazara said in response: The store was opened to customers today, while maintaining the guidelines, health of employees and customers.
