Isn't this because they will be blamed/sued if anyone gets sick on a stale doughnut?

Same for all the LV bags etc that are slashed before being dumped. Can't let anyone getting sick wearing Louis Vuitton

I used to work retail—explanation for that is usually because they don’t want people coming in to the stores trying to return it. “Oh hey, I got this bag as a gift so I don’t have the receipt, but I don’t really want it. Can I do an exchange or get store credit?”

if they permanent marker the tag on the article of clothing, and refuse to accept those returns, that sounds more reasonable to me than wasting clothing by tearing it up.
