What's the big deal. That's where I get all my Christmas presents anyway. Either that or yard sales.
I once retrieved about 20 pair of brand new shoes still in their boxes from the dumpster behind Shoe Station on Davis. After I'd loaded them in my car and calculated the profit I would make on eBay with them, I walked around to the entrance of the store and asked the person in charge "why did you throw away all those brand new shoes?"
The answer: "Stale merchandise".
Well apparently it wasn't "stale" to all the people who bought them on eBay. lol
