On the one hand, shoppers at GoodWill aren't there at gunpoint, being forced to empty their wallets. Nothing is being "foisted" on anyone.
On the other hand, in a sense many of them are, except instead of gunpoint it's economics that mean their clothing choices have a hard dollar limit on them - and at the end of the day, it's better to have a subpar t-shirt than no t-shirt at all.
So I don't think anyone is being hurt here. At worst, the person you're replying to could have done better by donating the shirts to a charity that doesn't sell the clothing, but gives it away.
Anyway, I hope you made yourself feel good with your comment, even if you didn't do any good.
