This was an informative video about this "donate to charity" tactic: https://youtu.be/0Cu6EbELZ6I
My buddy who is a crazy outdoor mountain man, or was at the time, came down off the mountain and brought a bunch of his Patagonia shit into their store in reno where they will repair/replace your damaged clothes for free (which is admittedly pretty cool, ive done this myself a couple times). Anyway, he's got a huge scraggly beard and is basically the spitting image of a hermit rockclimber and the lady there told him they wouldn't repair his clothing because she thought hewas just a homeless person who went around gathering Patagonia shit to have them repair it so he could resell it.
He was just like what? the fuck? What difference does it make even if that was the case. This lady just thinks shes better than him and refuses to take any of his garments and sleeping bag. Needless to say he's never buying Patagonia gear again.
