[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just another reminder to wash any clothes you bring home from a store.  Consider that most everything has been tried on or worn, repeatedly.

As a teenager, my first job was in retail and part of my sales job was to wear entire outfits, head to toe, while working in the store.  I'd change multiple times a shift - just rehang and refold the still-warm pieces.

I was expected to wear store clothes while I unpacked and tagged and sorted incoming merchandise in the warm and dusty back room, too.  Only removed deodorant marks if it was obvious, as per training.  Makeup stains, no problem.  These went in the clearance pile for future sales.  [/quote]

My first job as a teen was at a store that required us to wear their clothes only.  If we came in wearing something else, no problem!  We'd just grab some clothes off the racks and wear them for that shift.  If we snagged the shirts while unpacking boxes and stocking we'd just damage them out and toss in the clearance bin.  Deodorant and makeup stains were just washed out and if they wouldn't come out, they were sent to the clearance bin as well.

Sometimes I or one of my friends would want a specific item that was on the pricey side, so I'd wear that item, pretend I couldn't get the deodorant stain out and damage it out to purchase it at clearance price.

In college I worked at Victoria's Secret and you wouldn't believe how many people would go into a fitting room for a bra fitting and just completely disrobe.  And you're not allowed to say anything when it happened.  You just had to grin and bare it.

Also, FIY to the moms who won't let their daughter's buy/wear thongs or sexy panties, your daughter's are some of VS's #1 thieves.  We'd have hundreds of dollars each week in shrinkage and it was 95% in thongs that were stolen by the teens and tweens.     [/quote]
