Ummm … storing MA next to Chlorine?!? I think corporate chemical hygiene and safety department needs to be notified. If that happened where I once worked, heads would roll …

Not trying to get anyone fired, but I’d notify the local fire dept, fire Marshall, town or whatever to avoid getting someone killed.

There was a store fire at our local Walmart a few months back. It originated in an area of the store where there was a huge toilet paper mountain/display. I don’t remember the exact cause but it shutdown the store for a while and the area where the fire was at needed serious remediation when they reopened. Any way, seeing the chlorine and MA next to each other like that made me wonder if a poison gas release would be worse than a smoldering pile of TP …. 
Only three of the bottles are falling off of the shelf and leaking out liquid.
To the right, they have ammonium nitrate fertilizer and calcium hypochlorite.

Apparently the employees who lost their jobs at Home Depot found new jobs at this store.
May I ask which Walmart this is? Store number would be awesome but the street it’s on would work as well.

I'm sure Cal OSHA would be interested as well.

So I TOTALLY missed the point of the post. Thought OP was asking if these chems were ok to use. Slow much?
That one was an arson. I used to live down the street and had shopped there hundreds of time (sometimes seemingly in a single day…
)

Not as of Friday. I went to buy another gallon of chlorine. I sent corporate an email.Curious if this was remediated?
Wow. This really is something you should ask for the store manager and impress on them the danger -- this isn't a crazy-customer complaint. I'm sure there are guidelines they have whether OSHA, EPA, or their own safety department Every HD I've been in has had the MA in a totally different corner of the garden area than the chlorine.
If the manager doesn't get it taken care of quickly I'd notify the local fire department. One kid climbing on the rack or cart ramming that shelf (or minor earthquake) could result in a toxic cloud.
