Why Study? What went wrong with our education system?

The news today says something abt Singapore's prospect and the "improving" economy.
I do agree that Singapore has very gd standard in "education" as in knowledge wise, but working in Toyrus let me see something else as well.
Even though singapore continues to advance in education, science, technology, economy and blah blah blah... it seems to me that most WELL EDUCATED HUMAN BEINGS in Singapore are not far off from barbarians. A simple common sense such as "putting back an item after looking at it" doesn't seems to exist in the Complex brain of these "WELL EDUCATED HUMAN BEINGS". For an example, Man A finds Item X interesting and picks it up at Shelf A. Holding on to it, he moves on to Shelf B, which is abt 10m away, and finds Item Y more interesting, thus leaving Item A at Shelf B. Den, upon reaching Shelf C, Man A once again found something that he "might" wanna buy, Item Z, and leaves Item Y on the FLOOR. As he approaches the cashier, he decides that he doesn't want anything in the end, leaving Item Z at the cashier and left for home.
ok, Being a floor crew, i need to do something call "re-shop", which means to go ard the shop and collect any "misplaced" toys and placing them back to the original shelf. Toyrus has different "sections" eg: Boys and Girls.
Everyday, we'll find toys from Section A "migrated illegally" to Section B, and very often, they "travel" there by ships or 'sampans' called "Adult". Btw, sampans are small malay fishing boats. I dun mind doing all the reshop and stuff, but still, i'm concerned of wat is becoming of our soceity and wat went wrong with our education system? Why is Singaporeans becoming so "barbaric"? izzit so hard to put the "unwanted" toys back to the shelves? or at least leave them at their original section or at the cashier.. It's not like we'r asking them to arrange the shelves to a prefect condition.

Food for thoughs: Is there something wrong with our education system? Or, are Singaporeans taking too much things for granted? Mayb we'r all being spoiled...
