Years ago my wife managed a Ross department store, and one Christmas season they noticed that theft was way up. They staked out the store and discovered that two employees were throwing away entire boxes of brand new clothes every night - It was easier for them to just drop them in the garbage than it was to put them out on the floor. Every night they dropped thousands of dollars worth of clothes directly into the garbage.
