Seriously, think of the Chinese laborers in sweat shops working long hours, for LITTLE pay. And Walmart just tosses clothes they worked hard for. So sad, really.
Wake-up America, the few dollars you save are not worth it. Wal-mart is a part of the economy being the way it is!

What about the environment?….They throw all their returned items into the trash, even if they are still in the box and in prefect working order. Not only is this wasteful (there are plenty of unfortunate people that could use some of these things) but it goes into the land fill where it is left to pollute the environment. Some items include: cell phones, coffee makers and out door furniture that did not sell by end of season. As a big corporation they should be trying to set an example by promoting environmental awareness. Sure, they sell reusable bag…Big deal!! They still have plastic bags and are huge polluters of our earth…Hypocritical!!
I totally agree!
