This is so shocking. Completely irresponsible and perverse.



How many other corporations do this too? :(

Almost as bad as spamming NGs in a country where these companies don't
trade.

You people are beyond pathetic. ALL companies do this, unless they
can sell the goods. Otherwise, they'd end up buried in junk. Think
your local Sears keeps all the unsold clothes, year after year?

I thought that quite a bit of unsold low-end clothing worked it's way
down the retail chain from one store to another until it's finally sold
or (as should have happened here) given to charity. It can be more
expensive to destroy this stuff vs giving it to charity.

High-end clothing and consumer products (like golf clubs) are routinely
shreded beyond use (there are companies that provide that service).
This reflects the fact that in those cases, the cost to make those
products is low compared to the cost to market them, and it can cause
harm to the percieved value of the brand if unsold products turn up in
surplus stores.
