March 26, 201313 yr Burn them? Doubt it. They sell their clothes eventually. Their clothes aren't that different from year to year, I feel like there are plenty of high school kids perfectly willing to buy last summers t shirts.
March 26, 201313 yr Actually if they don't want to give the clothes to charity, then they should give them to their employees if you ask me. A lot of stores like that make their employees wear their products while at work, I know Buckle does, so why not give their employees the clothes etc.
March 26, 201313 yr It's all crap anyway, give me a pair of Levi's and Velva-Sheen t-shirt anyday.. :lol2:
March 26, 201313 yr I've heard of companies doing this. That's why you often see kids in the some of the world's poorest countries wearing American made T-shirts and other clothes. Perhaps send the clothes to the same countries that received all of the Buffalo Bills - Super Bowl Champions apparel.
March 26, 201313 yr This is a tough problem. I work in the food manufacturing industry. It has been several years ago that we had a fairly significant size quality issue. Nothing that would hurt anybody, it was a feeder issue that we didn't put enough sugar in the product so it didn't match the percentages on the label. This was around the time that Haiti got hit by a hurricane. Rather than scrap all of the product we sent it to Haiti as part of the relief effort. Unfortunately members of the Haitian goverment or what ever. Took the product and sold it back into the US. Fortunately we found out about it fairly quickly and were able to send people out to retrieve it off the shelves. We spent tens of thousands of dollars to recover it all and then destroyed it. Our company was trying to do a good deed and got burnt. It makes you leary.
