Strange sight at Home DepotPosted by CRMiller z9 CA (My Page) on Sun, Mar

Today when I was at Home Depot, there was a cart full of half dead
plants (needed water) and some irises that were out of bloom. They were
headed for the dumpster. The lady working there was taking the plants out
one by one and spray-painting them! Not the pot, the leaves and stem. I didn
't stop to ask her about them because I was in a hurry. I don't like that
they throw away plants that were under watered, but spray-paint them bright
orange?!!



This reminds me about JC Penney's policy about athletic shoes. They
had to cut the shoes in half before throwing them in to the dumpster.
HD is all about profit--some folks give little thought to the meaning
of charity.
