They come from crushed boxes donated by stores. They open the boxes and take out the undamaged ones. I worked at a department store in high school and we used to have to open crushed tampon boxes and sort out the bent or damaged ones and make sure the boxes or bags sent to the discount section had the correct qty in them.
There is a lot going on with this picture. I'm sure the product meets with all hygiene standards, is a good deal, and will provide revenue to help someone with much bigger problems (i.e., needs a job). Besides, as a previous poster mentioned, the alternative is to throw the entire lot into the trash, which seems like a horrible waste.
I don't think it's right to cast a negative light on a good deed.
Bless your heart. I'd say more, but I'm currently battling some sort of respiratory disease that has me coughing hard enough to shoot one of those bad boys across a very large room. Running a 103 fever and praying for a quick death. But with all that, I still have more of a sense of humor than you do.

ReplyDeleteHow can you tell when you are entering a Polish neighborhood?
You can see the toilet paper hung out to dry.
