So a while ago I (24f) was notified of my companies warehouse sale. We’re a pretty small business, so when they decided to move headquarters they had a whole warehouse full of clothes they needed to get rid of, so they allowed employees to come down and take as many free clothes as they wanted. There was a wide selection of women and children’s clothes, shoes, purses, sunglasses, swimwear you name it. So related to this, I spent some time with my mother in a women’s shelter when I was younger. I appreciated what they did for us so I decided to give back what I could. I loaded an entire truck bed full of clothes and accessories for the women and children at this shelter. I even got a whole bag of clothes and stuff for each my stepmom, sister, grandmother and father to resell if he wanted. I went to drop the clothes off for my family first, and at the beginning they seemed excited, so I took the rest of the clothes to the women’s shelter, we’re talking 12–15 trash bags full of clothes (we had to bring our own bags to the sale). I didn’t bother getting a receipt because I’d never done anything like this before. When I got home though I received so much criticism about how I should’ve gotten one, I should know better, and I should have brought them, my family, more of the clothes to resell instead, even though I’d already given them a total of four bags full of stuff to keep or resell. It just hurt so much because who in life gets a chance to go in a warehouse full of free clothes, and I thought I made the best of that opportunity. It was the last sale they were gonna have anyway, but I told my family if there was another one this time I wouldn’t be bringing them back anything. I just don’t understand how they had their own bags, but still decided they needed more than women and kids at a domestic violence shelter. Thanks for reading, hopefully Rslash and the pupper see this though.   submitted by   /u/YourEverydayBlair [link]   [comments]
