about michaels throwing out product
I work for michaels. The employees are correct in the fact that some product gets destroyed. That only happens when the item falls to a penny in our system. We destroy the item because of two reasons. One is the liability. If the item is donated then anything that goes wrong with the product becomes michaels liability. If somone gets hurt or anything of that nature. The second reason is that we have agreements with our suppliers. When we damage out a product we get partial credit from the distrubutor. In order to get this credit we have to agree not to give the product to anyone and to damage it out. If we donated it we would be in breach of our contracts. So it isn't that they didn't have the time to call. It is that they were not allowed to!. Maybe you should research things before you make ASSUMPTIONS. You know what happens when you ASSUME somthing!
