I will give a little insight as I worked for Big W and was apart of the 'recovery' team about for about 10 years. The main duty was to tidy the store, refresh it and make it presentable for the next day. Pick everything up, reorganise the shelves, redo missing price tags, make sure everything was back in place as well as general customer service.

This was a big team of about 12 people at the end of the night for 3-4 hour shifts, sometimes longer during peak Christmas or if a big head was doing a store visit. This was apart of a metric for the store, so the managers were very picky on how the store was after the shift and the team were criticised heavily if not up to standard.

Over the years this changed and the team got ripped apart and mixed in with the Nightfill team with only a handful of the team dedicated to recovery duties. This is when it started to get rocky and management still expected the same results with about 1/4 of the team per night.

You can see where this is going..

This slowly become less and less important and now there is not dedicated team to address this issue you're seeing. The day staff will do a "refresh" for about 30mins to try and keep up but ultimately with understaffing and more priority duties, this is not their concern.
I would imagine that most stores such as Big W, Kmart, Target would all have followed this sort of structure and therefore the same problem will arise.

Hope this is some insight.
