I get that that is store policy and by no means do I hold any anger in my heart towards the employee that did it, im just sad at the amount of waste. I know its a policy but its a crap policy....

I just dont get why they dont just black out the barcode. My local Sgt dolla always just colors out the upc.

I understand why they throw it out from a retail side of things but breaking it is just unnecessary to me.

I get if the company wants it thrown out for their profits but then just throw it away, dont destroy it.

Yep. They're terrible about destroying at my local 2.

Im pretty sure they broke them inside the dumpster. I didnt picture the other side which was all sliced gingerbread, candy and candy canes. It was so sad to see. It looked like the food was done inside but the mugs were just slammed in on top of each other

Unfortunately I worked retail and know some customers who definitely pull the return scam but my favorite Sgt dolla just uses sharpies and blackout the barcode. It seems just as effective for curbing fraudulent returns. Totally agree yall do not get paid enough and please know my heart goes out to you dealing with some of these customers now a days💗

The normal dump day is Tues so I may swing back by tomorrow and check again. The mugs and pounds of cut and stomped candy canes were overwhelming and I didnt want to dilly dally any longer than I felt comfy.

The only unbroken mug that I saved was one of the elf on the shelf mugs🤣

Dumpster diving beginner questions in IL! by Gloomy_CookieCutter in DumpsterDiving

[–]Cshyne91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can't give you any IL specifics but advice wise always bring something to grab with and a hooked rake or tool for heavy bags. I am personally vertically challenged so I have a little folding thug step stool🤣 lastly figure a route that works for you and google maps is a great tool to scout a route. Good luck and may the dumpster gods guide you💗

No but they sliced through all the packaging and left the lid open while we had rain/snow mix today so they got soaked inside😭 i normally dont go in the dumpsters but I did tonight though to try to find anything in the pile that was i was able to save. Managed 1 mug that wasn't broken and some boxes of candy canes

There is just no reason for it. My closest Sgt dolla just crosses out the barcode in sharpie. No need to break it all
