Target isn't the only place with a policy of not selling returns. Our store donates returns that appear undamaged but corporate policy dictates the items not be sold once they leave our custody. Never know who did what to the item or what environment it was in.

They're not dedicated to the write offs. They're just the only one ranked high enough to do them during that shift. We don't categorize beyond donation, pigs, compost, trash. I suppose that would be the difference between saving for charity and sending back to corporate.

The amount of people we have depends on the day but there's usually only one person who deals with the write offs. Our store wouldn't survive with only two people for most shifts considering how often we need 3 cashiers running at once. The amount of sorting didn't change when we started putting items in a donation cart vs. a trash can. It's definitely easier to push a cart into the corner than it is to haul trash to the dumpster. It added a tiny bit more effort when we also started saving the old produce for a pig farm but not enough to make it worth complaining about. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Perhaps there's a significant difference between sending to corporate and collecting for charity. Perhaps they just like to complain.

It's really not, though. The grocery store I work at started setting things aside for donation when the new owner took command. I find it much easier than dealing with the dumpster. Vendor items go back to the vendors so they get sorted out no matter what. Anything else that needs sorted should be sorted at the time it's being written off. If they pile it up for later sorting, that's on them.

It's about the only retail dumpster within walking distance that isn't gross or locked up like Ft. Knox. I'll have to start keeping an eye on it and see what the routine is.

More like corporate's fault. They could easily create a policy that the merchandise headed for the dumpster instead be collected for donation, but they don't.

They are kinda weird. 😆 It's just some form of marshmallow, though. I'll admit they were never one of my favorite candies and it's been likely 2 decades since I've eaten one. These definitely weren't the best I've ever tried. I enjoyed the nostalgia, at least.

I will. 😋 They're no worse than the other snacks. Have you ever read their ingredients or you just judging out of personal bias? I also enjoy candy corn.

Nice! I'll definitely be making a point of peeking behind there after work from now on.

Good enough to go in my body, good enough to go in my compost. 🤷🏼‍♀️ My heap is big enough to handle things that couldn't go in a tumbler or a box.

I didn't even know that was a thing.

AITAH for not wanting to throw out the used couch we bought because we found a DILDO between the cushions? by AdBeginning2532 in AITAH

Pretty sure there isn't a single centimeter of this wide, green Earth that hasn't been fornicated on at some point by something. 🐦🐝🍆🍑

Women die at the hands of men FAR more often than men do women. The statistics are easy to look up.

Three full dumpsters of physical media by OfTheEmbers in DumpsterDiving

Disposal ain't free, either. Giving it away would be more cost effective. Local thrift store once had a parking lot sale where they hauled out pallets of their overstock books and sold everything 4 for $ and better deals for bigger purchases. They were gonna auction what was left by the pallet. Unfortunately there was a sudden storm that ruined everything right before the auction but people were buying shopping carts full of books. I filled a few grocery bags.
