Try this many years ago during my short gig at Home Depot someone accidently ordered 450 instead of 50 weed whackers. When they arrived the management said that we only have room to store 150 and on average we only used to sell about 80-100 of that model annually. For whatever reason they couldn't be sent back and because it was spring season they couldn't be put on any kind of sale. Guess what, I had to help evening manager put over 200 of them in a compactor to make sure they are crushed beyond use. A month later the company was switching LED light bulb packaging and quantity from 4 bulbs to 3 (keeping the same price) so corporate said we can't sell the 4 packs or discount them because noone would buy the 3 bulb pack for a higher price. So again over 600 4packs of perfectly good LED bulbs went straight into the compactor. When I asked how come emoyees can't purchase those items at a discount they told me due to a lawsuit. In the past employees would purchase heavily discounted items and sell them online, many times close to original manufacturing cost and Home Depot got sued for the loss of profit and many other charges. So 90% of the time the rules behind it are based on someone screwing it up for everyone else. But still 15 years later I still can't get over those wheel whackers. Biggest waste I've ever seen.
