Shame Shame H (ampersand) M

I read on NY Mag's THE CUT that H&M has been accused of destroying used/returned and BRAND NEW clothing - and chucking it in the trash - instead of donating it.
Spokesperson, Nicole Christie, released a statement saying that this was not common practice and she will ensure this does not happen in the future. Heroic, but fake. I picture her in a Wonder Woman costume trying to save her fashionistas.
If you go to the link and read the comments, about 3 down from the top when oldest is first, Miss. Snowangel states that this is a lie. She did in fact work for H&M, and it IS store policy to destroy clothing.
All this while H&M is trying to launch an eco friendly, sustainable, recycled material clothing line... shame shame H&M!!!
