Walmart is very wasteful in other areas. My cousin used to work there
and she said that if items were marked down for a certain length of time
they had to throw them away and could not go any further down in price.
She said clothes that were thrown away were cut up first so no one could
use them if they went through the dumpsters.
Talk about waste in a world that has countries with children going
without shoes or proper clothing for the temperatures. But the big
businesses are out to make money, apparently not good PR.
