The other day, Andrew commented how he wonders what clothing retailers do with last season’s garments. Our dear friend at Eastside Cats had a clever notion that such items could be shipped to the opposite hemisphere.
I like to think that they could be donated to homeless shelters, orphanages, and the like. However, I’m sure it’s a naïve wish.
This reminded me of a brief encounter at our local Walmart. It happened a few years ago and my memory is a bit fuzzy. The gist of it is that I saw a garden center associate preparing to throw out struggling plants. Hoping I might be able to revive the flowers, I asked if I could take one.
She flat out denied me. Apparently it’s some sort of corporate policy. Why? I have no idea.
Isn’t flagrant waste annoying? Do you think it would have been considered shoplifting if I grabbed it out of the trash?
