  • 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 .
    Grossed out yet?

            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.

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

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

                    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.

                        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.

                          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.
