96. First time I saw it was 37-38 yrs ago at my first job.
I questioned the policy and was told that anything marked down to nothing was removed from the company inventory lists and it had to be destroyed. They couldn't take the chance on someone returning items for exchange. It's surprising this still goes on with retailers but the practice isn't new. At least Walmarts spokesman said they typically donate the clothing and would investigate why it happened.
IIRC, many retailers adopted the policy of cutting out identifying tags and began donating clothing to charity.
