Quit yer grinnin' and drop yer linen...

My wonderful store chain allows people to return underwear as long as the tags are still attached.
Translation: Sadie Mae Ick can try on those dainty intimates, decide they're not for her, and return them with nary a blink:eek: .
Grossed out yet?

[Phone Jockey]

OK, that is friggin' disgusting. Remind me never to shop in your store.

and there is the exact reason why I wash all of my new clothes TWICE before I wear them

[Mongo Skruddgemire]

Thus the reason my wife and I never buy skivvies unless they are in thier original sealed packaging.

Unless her's came from Fredricks and like someone said, they get washed twice in borax.

<shudder>

Mongo

[JustAGirl]

i always always wash underwear/bras/swimsuits/etc before I wear them for THAT reason.

[Becks]

I ALWAYS wash any clothes I buy before I wear them. You just never know what a store's return policies are. :shudders:

[cpux]

There's a very good reason why my undies all come in sealed plastic. I think this thread pretty much outlined it completely.

[Demonoid Phenomenon]

April, I hate to disappoint, but my 'writing voice' is way more interesting than my speaking voice...sigh.

But, yes, we allow people to return underwear.
If the tags are off, however, that's a different story. I'm not sure what difference that makes since Sadie had to actually slip those frillies on to know they aren't the right size and, tag or no, body met fabric.
Eww.
I work the customer service desk and deal with returns all day. I've had people try and return used underwear (yes, used; it had obviously been washed and worn). Of course, I didn't realize this until I had wisked it out of the bag.
Good thing we keep anti-bacterial handwash close by.

And even more gross was the old lady who returned a small blanket with stains on it. I had my hands all on it before I saw this and one of the managers walked up and whispered, "Oh, God. That's blood."
There's no smilie icon with an appropriate enough expression to relay my reaction to that.

[toolbert]

these are exactly the reasons why I will never, ever (unless its a high paid SM position) work clothing retail ever again *hmmph*

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

I also don't buy underwear that isn't already in a package. That's a good thing about being a guy; most of your underwear comes packaged.

So I take it a person could buy some underwear, put some nice skid marks in it, and then return the undies as long as the tags are still attached? If so, that's is really REALLY disgusting.

[Demonoid Phenomenon]

Oh, God. Thanks, Irving.
Now I'm really looking forward to going to work today.
No, if there was visible, er, distress to the garment, Sadie would just have to wear her drawers one size too tight (for at least one day out of the week, anyway).

I have GOT to find another job.

Turning stomachs, just one more service I offer! :D

Well, now we really need to find a Brain Bleach™® smiley. Thanks a billion.

I'm lucky. I actually have to try and imagine something, so I get to avoid all these gross images... I've seen enough gross stuff to make up for it though.

Like the numerous times someone's apparently pooped their shorts and decide to leave them tucked in the back of the stall at my theatre. One guy even left the wrapping from his new pair of undies in the stall too. Way to plan ahead guy! :o

[Becks]

I think of some things and range from the barely normal, to the odd, disgusting and up to "there is no way Brain Bleach™® will help". I just usually think of these things at work, and I don't have access to a computer...

[Enjis]

Yep, folks can return undies at my store too.
I used to work in the men's furnishings dept, and have had all sorts of interesting things happen there.
And yes, I've had men return used underwear...only we did not know it was used. See, a lot of the 'designer' underwear comes in boxes...easy to take them out to look at them...or use them...and put them back. So, I've taken returns, and then after the guest left, opened the box to refold the (assumed) bad fold job the customer did...and found it was NOT new underwear...and sometimes not even the right brand. From then on, I opened the box to make sure before doing the return.
If something is defective, tell us, and we will take it back. But wash it first!!
If it is not defective, and we can't sell it to someone else, (because you've washed it, or just worn it) we will NOT take it back!
And *I* try on undies and bathing suits with MY undies on, thank you!:angel:
