Kevin was doing his job; why blame him? It’s policy across the board and has been for decades. What are you trying to get?

It's the policy at where I work and it comes from corporate. A lot of companies do this.

If I was the ceo, my company couldn’t afford to have a policy to give away damaged stuff because thousands of employees at my company nation wide could just up and “damage” anything to give it away

I’m Florence Ky as well. When I worked in retail on returns we couldn’t give them away, or donate. They could have bed bugs, sickness, pets could get on it and cause allergies for others. It goes as damaged and we throw it away. It’s to protect not only the company, the customers as well. Sorry they didn’t explain well, hope this helps🥰

That is a dumb policy, they shouldn't throw stuff in the trash unless it's damaged beyond repair.

It was probably recalled as hazardous and if they give it away they could be sued.

this isn't new. a lot of companies will intentionally destroy perfectly good stuff so people won't take it from the dumpsters. old navy, sears and penny's are notorious for it.

Most of the stores throw things away. Walmart, Dollar General, Bath and Body Works, Target, and the list goes on and on. They do it because it's a tax write off but I always thought that if they donated items they were a tax write off as well. It's never made sense to me at all either.

I had a friend who dated a guy that worked at "the dump". He got her the nicest, brand new in the package stuff all the time. A lot of it was from Target.

That’s not just Target. It’s sad though.

I’m sure they do that because they don’t want to be held liable for anything that may or may not happen with the product if someone were allowed to take it. People will file lawsuits over just about anything these days. If someone were given permission to take those items and something happened afterward, they might turn around and try to sue the company, the brand, or whoever they believe is responsible. So, I think avoiding potential liability is probably one of the main reasons they choose not to allow people to take those items

It’s the world we live in today. Driven by corporate profits and nothing else. If they cant make money off it, no one gets it. Trashing it is a write off and selling it less than cost is a loss. It makes sense to them on paper for their shareholders.

Every store does this! They usually destroy it before it goes in there so people can’t dumpster dive! Bottom line, It usually cost a company less money to just throw it away! Now that you called them out on it they’re probably going to start damaging the items before they go dumpster! Before people were lucky if they found things that they could use and nobody pre-destroyed them! Now no one wins!

Injury Risks: If a donated item has a hidden defect, breaks, and hurts someone, the company can still face lawsuits.Lack of Control: Once an item leaves corporate control, the company cannot guarantee it was assembled safely or used correctly.Insurance Rules: Corporate insurance policies often forbid giving away damaged, returned, or recalled stock to prevent injury claims.Write-Offs: Businesses can write off the wholesale cost of destroyed inventory as a total loss on their taxes.Donation Limits: Tax laws for corporate charitable deductions involve complex tracking and limits that sometimes yield fewer savings than a standard inventory write-off.Asset Protection: Companies fear that free giveaways will ruin their regular paying market. People would stop buying items if they expected to get them for free later.Labor Expenses: Inspecting, sorting, repackaging, and inventorying returned or box-damaged furniture takes a lot of paid staff time.Freight Bills: Moving large, heavy boxed furniture back to a central hub or local charities costs more in fuel and trucking than the item is worth.Store Space: Big retail stores have very little extra room to store bulk items while waiting for a charity to pick them up.

Making it sense🎯Most likely they were returned from a customer that had an issue or problem with the product or recall. Target cannot donate nor sell/give because of possible liability. I worked for 🎯 forever and I speak highly of their donate program. Pet food and care products go to local pet shelters. So much food, health & body care to local food centers. Pallets of all products donated daily. Kevin should have apologized that the furniture couldn't be sold nor donated and a quick explanation of why easy-peasy. HOPE this helps 🥰
