Your expectation is inappropriate, and, some might think, insulting.
The thing that irked me is he stated they only take items that are in perfect condition. He didn't say good....he said it needs to be perfect. As someone stated here no one wants anything but new. That's fine I do not need to donate. I do it so an item gets used again rather than thrown away and it possibly helps another. It is easier for me to just throw it away.
The way I decide what goes in the trash rather than being donated is would I use it or would I wear it in a sense. I have never been refused a donation before.
It seems odd that a 50 year old professional would use an item and not deem it junk and some one just getting on their feet would look down their nose at receiving such an item.
We will just bring to the dump and leave in the swap area. Some one would likely snatch itbup. It is a shame to just throw things away. No wonder we have such an issue with trash and ruining the environment.
