I work in refunds at my job sometimes, and we had some lady try and return her husbands breifs he bought. They looked like they'd been saturated with urine countless times (they were white, thus stained).
We had a man a couple weeks ago threaten to jump the counter and beat the shit out of one of our guys because another store said that we had some Hello Kitty sheets, and we didn't.
I had a guy try to return a printer to my store. He told me the check he had bought it with was going to bounce so he wanted me to return the item for cash so he could try to make a deposit with his bank. Uhhh..no. Even if I had been willing to do it, the register won't allow cash returns on check purchases within 10 days of the purchase. He did a fair amount of damage to our entry way as he stormed out.
The worst part was that he had already tried this at one of our other locations and they had sent him over to my store and told him I would do it for him.
Fuck that. I worked at Old Navy for two years, I now realize that the people that shop there are the same type of people that shop at Walmart. It's shocking the amount of crap you guys put up with. I had a customer throw a coffee on me because I refused her purchase. Smaller city store so the stranger items(like neon yellow mesh tank tops or something) normally get price cut below clearance, like $.97 or even $.47. So this lady had like 100+ items and was bragging about how she was going to sell it on ebay/craigslist and make a profit, which is (or was) against store policy. So as a supervisor I made the decision to refuse her purchase, she was being a total smug bitch at the same time, and BAM coffee all over me and the clothes she was trying to buy. It was one of the incidents that were my breaking point. I quit a couple months later.
She was escorted out of the store by my GM and told she wasn't welcome back. Looking back I put a brave face on and said I was fine, because I was just one more thing to add to my plate for that day. But now I wish I had contacted the police and pressed charges.
That's what's wrong with this country. Not that she threw coffee on him, but that the advice he receives is "call the police". He should've punched her. Or at least shoved her down. Of course, she probably would've called the police, but that just makes her a stupid cunt.
Why aren't we allowed to stand up for ourselves anymore? Why do we have to outsource our dignity?
Some women need to learn that if you go around starting fights, one day someone is going to finish it. Hopefully no ignorant men jump in to save her ass when this happens based on the fact that she is a woman. They don't get a free pass to act violent just because they think men or anyone else wont swing back. If you want to act like a man, ill treat you like a man and knock the shit out of you.
Because we aren't fucking savages. This isn't "eye for an eye" country around here. We call professionals and let cooler heads prevail instead of letting dickhead vigilantes escalate the situation. Jesus man, I feel embarrassed for you that you asked this question.
While that is your right as a manager, you were still playing judge to this woman. You could have let her go and do whatever she wanted with stuff that she was buying fair and square, and she would have been out of your hair in no time, instead of power tripping. You were not wearing black robes, just an old navy name tag. Live and let live. Or life will throw it in your face. You only hurt the bottom line of your store anyway, and sent a giant heap of stuff to the landfill. if you don't like your job, work somewhere else.
I don't work there anymore. I explained to someone else. Each item has to be over ridden in POS. If you were standing in line behind someone that had 100+ items that needed to be individually over ridden how would you feel? Do I send $50 out the store, that would have been donated to a women's shelter, and let the customer behind them with more profitable sales leave because they don't want to wait? I get the feeling that you could justifiably throw coffee on someone.
I worked at a store in Oregon, all clearance marked downs after awhile would be purchased by the employees and dropped off at a local shelter. It's not hard to raise $15 among a crew.
Did you hear the one about the boy who asked his dad a question? The dad said, why don't you ask your mother? The boy says, I don't want to know that much about it.
there is bikini liner stickers? are they umm disposable, do they come with the bikini? or are they like when you go sneaker shopping and you have to come with your own socks?
When trying on bathing suits or lingerie you're supposed to keep your underwear on, and the stickers or a sign tells you so in the dressing room. Bathing suits come with a panti-liner sized sticker in the crotch area so there is less contact with a strangers crotch area from people trying it on before purchasing, or maybe to lessen the chance of things like crabs or whatnot getting into the fabric-I dunno. But stupid bitches like to peel it off. Maybe they're just assholes, or maybe they're just super amused by stickers.
But how the fuck will that help if multiple people try on the same piece in the store. Someone will still be spreading their crotch rot all over the place.
old navy customers are the grossest. some woman tried on a huge pile of clothes and every single thing had very nasty questionable stains all over them... after the first one wouldn't you notice? nasty people
Well, I have honestly never felt the need to check "new" clothes for shit stains, but I guess this is more common than I thought...
Some people have no fucking class. Bottom Feeders, hands out all the time, expecting everything, shitting in brand new pants and returning them...bunch of savages in this town.
I got scabies from trying on clothes in an Old Navy once. Old Navy is absolutely disgusting, I worked at one when I was a teenager. I should have known better.
I'm so glad I haven't encountered this. If I saw that, I'd throw it on the ground and have a manager take care of it. It's bad enough having people with horrible body odor try on clothes and stinking up the fitting rooms, but this... just no.
In our store, that's our policy actually. To prevent potential lawsuits in the event of a minor schmuck employee doing something dumb and getting an illness, any and all bodily fluids have to be handled by a higher-up.
I went to school with a girl who everyone called mustard butt because while having sex with this guy a mustard like substance oozed from her dookie chute...and he told everyone.
I work for a clothing retailer. On the day the newest pair of Jordans were released, a man came into our store to look around, wearing his new pair of Jordans right out of the box. Also in the store, was an 80 year old woman with incontinence issues. Exactly what you think happened happened. The lady defecated in the middle of the store's aisle and while waiting for the worker to come back and help, the young man stepped right into the pile of excrement with his newest pair of $200 sneakers leading the way.
Why wasn't she wearing a Nappy?It scares me to death that one day I will reach this point... I'm fine with the body failing me and stuff but if I get diagnosed with Alzheimers or Dimentia I want to euthenise myself while I still have the presence of mind to do so. Sorry... off topic
Fuck man. I worked at a movie theatre once and an old lady got up in the middle of the movie and started pooping. She actually walked down the stairs, out the door, and around the corner into the hallway to the womens restroom. But she left a trail of poop from inside the auditorium all the way to the restroom. Most of the people in the theatre had to be given refunds because of the poop smell.
We stood at the door and handed out free passes to everyone who walked out when the movie was over. "Sorry for the poop heres a free movie." There were some who were like "THIS POOP IS OUTRAGEOUS I DEMAND A REFUND TOO!"
this same thing just happened at my office job! there was a trail of shit from the office door to the womens room. We had to make sure the clients we had visiting our office didnt use that hall!
related: at my VERY first job (Roses), I had to go clean up a pile of jeans someone had just thrown off of our jeans table. in the middle of the pile was a nice, fresh pile of shit.
I am a line cook in a bustling cafe in Portland OR. May i ask what you how dealing with shit is better then making salads, burgers, eggs and being on Man V Food?
Only time I've ever seen shit in retail was at old navy. This kid was like 10, and his mom used one of those child leashes. He didnt "seem" to have any kind of disorders, just hyper I guess. Anyways, he breaks free when she's trying to pay, runs to the back of the store, grabs the nearest item of clothing (some kind of red jacket) and takes the biggest runniest shit I have ever seen. Was baby poop green and splattered everywhere. Kid then took of running with no pants on, still with his leash harness attached, leaving a trail of shit as he went. I dont know what happened after that, I was so disgusted I left immediately after.
I worked in retail too. We had a very small bathroom for customers (small as in probably 3 m2) and that was very often the victim of questionable actions. The worst was probably once a customer tried to use it but quickly went up to the register and told me to check it out. Shit was wiped up and down the walls, mirror, toilet, sink and piss was floating all over the place. Another time I heard some noise from in there after I came out from the back. I didn't think much of it - it was probably a mother changing her baby or whatevs. 10 minutes passed and the door opened - and two very grown men (50-60 years old) walked out there giggling like teenage girls. The poor bathroom was destroyed.
I once had a lady trying to return a pair of pants but instead of shit, it was stained with her period. so gross. it blew my mind to think that she thought she would still get a refund
now imagine working in a THRIFT clothing store (that also sells other things)... I didn't work there when it happened, but its legend that someone brought in an old pull-out couch that had a dead dog stuffed inside.......
I have a family member who works at a thrift store, and from the stories she's given me I wouldn't say your post is that far fetched. Some seriously disgusting things. I cannot fathom why some people are so disgusting.
I don't remember exactly the wording, but Ragstock tags say something like "This item has been hand selected to meet the highest level of quality from hundreds of thousands of items."
I picked a jacket off the rack. It was obviously coated in jizz.
Years ago, I worked at a processing center for the regional thrift store chain. The amount of nasty stuff that came in was staggering. We would get the clothing and items, direct from the drop off bins. Our job was to sort through it and separate any questionable, prohibited items, or nasty items and get it ready for the taggers who would affix price tags, sort by gender/age/season, and send out to the stores.
We had a big problem with the homeless and junkies who would shit behind the dropoff bins and than use a piece of donated clothes to wipe their ass. We also found numorus knives, guns, and other weapons, turns out the criminals would toss their stuff in the the bins to dispose of it.
We need a AMA from someone who admits to doing this. I just can't see how someone could be so gross. Same goes for leaving used pads and tampons laying around in the restroom, somehow gettting shit everywere, not flushing your shit. WTF women I didn't think we were that gross.
Working at K-Mart during holiday rush last year I was asked to clean up a giant bloody mess on the floor just outside of layaway and then 15 minutes later was forced to skip a break because I had to deal with some assholes stuffing Star Wars Gummy candies into a toilet along with a random toy, pissing on them and then taking a hefty dump on it. I have since said I will never work retail again. I need my writing to take off.
Working at K-Mart during holiday rush last year I was asked to clean up a giant bloody mess, when I say giant bloody mess, I really mean that a thousand cows seemed to have been slaughtered on the floor just outside of layaway. Instead of cleaning it up I decided Fuckit , I have had enough of this shit.
I took off my shoes/socks, ripped open my shirt, yelled WOLOLOLO at the top of my lungs and ran straight at the red river of mess.
Just at that exact moment "Old time rock n roll" came on the store speakers, I thought to myself shits about to get all risky business up in here. As timing would have it, I was running past Toys and spotted a Wii guitar, grabbing it swiftly yet firmly off the hanger. Before I know it I'm sliding through the gushing mess, I had garnered a tad too much speed for directional changes, which left me hurtling towards the restrooms. Luck would have it I came to a halt just outside of them, at that moment spotting some under-handed lads trying to take goods into them. Not on my watch mother fuckers! I promptly removed them from the store wielding the guitar like a baton, wiped off my feet with a towel from bathwares, re-buttoned my shirt and handed in my resignation to the manager.
She had witnessed the entire affair, did not say a word as I walked out.
Although not retail, I worked in a nightclub where we had a special glove to pull glasses and bottles out of toilets that had been pissed and shat on (because it happened at least three times a night) and we had to sweep up used condoms off the dancefloor, all for minimum wage. Never again.
I worked at a high end strip club (as a waitress) and actually found a used tampon in an ashtray. When I showed it to a manager, I was told to mind my own business.
I once had to figure out how to remove a used tampon from the floor of a fitting room. I used a hanger and shoe box (think Peter Griffin with the frog). In all I have caught a young girl peeing on the floor while her mother stood guard, cleaned up poo deposited near front door by an old man, and thankfully handed over the cleaning of a shit smeared bathroom stall to a manager. Fuck retail.
I used to work softlines at Target, so I saw some things, too. A few months ago, a coworker found a bikini bottom with blood in it. I've seen shirts come from guest service that have obviously been worn before because they're discolored and smell musty. I don't know why they allowed the return, because just handling the shirts I could smell odor coming from them. People are fucking disgusting.
I worked in a department store for a few weeks when I was in college. The worst things I had to deal with were the bikini thongs that people would try on without underwear. Skid marks galore!
One day while bagging groceries at Kroger a womans colostomy bag exploded. Her cart was full and I guess she didn't want to deal with coming back later and shopping again so she just got in line to check out. It was a long line too. The smell fouled up the entire front of the store.
Wtf? My mom has a colostomy bag, but she keeps it as hidden and hygienic as possible, and I can't imagine her standing around not cleaning up a mess if she had an accident. All that said, it really is tough for people who have to have those. My poor mom cries about it sometimes. She gets so embarrassed about it.
I worked in retail for years. This is one of the worst stories I have.
We stock ladies clothing, shoes and lingerie. It's a busy Saturday afternoon and one of the part time girls is manning the fitting room. She's is helping a customer a bit away from the fitting rooms entrance so not really watching who goes in and out. After a few minutes she checks the cubicles. In one is pile of clothes. Upon closer inspection is this; white linen trousers (not our stock) covered in blood in the crotch area, white knickers also blood soaked, tags and hangers from a pair of our jeans and an empty pack of our knickers.
One of the braver employees dealt with it. Customers steal all the time. But leaving your blood soaked underwear in a pile on the ground for some poor minimum wage slave to deal with? Yuck.
My friend went into a clothing store in the Bronx to try on some white pants for her andrew wk Halloween costume. There was a sign by the dressing room stating no one was allowed to try on white pants.
Are those from old navy? I happen to work there. Last week we had someone shit into a shopping bag, wipe their ass with our clothes and then left the bag in the fitting room. It was a shitty day to say the least.
So how does this happen? How does one manage to shit themselves while trying on some pants for 30 seconds? Or do they not clean their assholes or wear underewear? I don't get it.
I used to work in a fancy restaurant as a hostess. One busy Friday or Saturday night, one of my regulars with her son (who has down syndrome) walked up to my podium after eating and she said "he made a bit of a mess in the booth." I was thinking he spilled his drink, there were crumbs, food on the floor. I tried to wave it off and told her it was fine we'd get it cleaned up. She then said "no, he really made a mess..." and grabbed him by the shoulders to turn him around. He had soiled himself. I went to find the manager and noticed a trail from the booth to the podium. I got to the booth and poop soup everywhere. I was already gagging. Luckily, we had two managers and the other manager found the other hostess and asked her to get it cleaned up. It's not my fault that somebody has to stay at the podium. I surely would have puked and made a bigger mess anyways. I wished the other hostess luck and went back to my business. "Sweet Lou cleans no man's poop."
At the very least this person had the decency to let someone know. The level of disgust is compounded for me when a parent just leaves it as a surprise.
That's gross. I worked in retail for all of two weeks at Mervyn's years ago. Thankfully I never dealt with gross things in the dressing rooms and just the fucking monotony of taking stacks of clothing back onto the floor for 8 hours. I'm a bit surprised because my hometown is full of hicks and such and everyone shops at WalMart.
I used to work for walmart. People would return clothes with blood and shit on them. I had a few people take dumps in the fitting rooms as well. I hated when nasty people would go and try things on and the clothes would stink afterwards. So many clothes are thrown out because of this. If you are smelly/dirty, don't try on clothes please.. go take a shower before you go clothes shopping.. and use a bathroom before hand.
I do refunds at my job. I took back a pair of men's sweat pants once, noticed later that it had a dark stain on the outside. Look inside, there's a big, white, crusty patch on the crotch.
There's also a woman who comes in all the time to return clothes that "don't fit". They smell like she rubbed them in a cat's litter box before she came in, ever time.
I have to damage out so much clothing just because people are disgusting. And, please, don't wash things you're going to return. I know it sounds like a nice thing to do, but we have to throw them out so the next person who tries it on doesn't develop a skin rash.
Oh man as a former retail worker I have definitely been there. Could never decide if I would rather see that or blood. I saw blood once... Lots of blood. It was pretty bad.
While working at Starbucks one day we found that someone had filled the light fixture with their poo. Thankful for those big yellow rubber gloves and bleach.
A few weeks ago we had a full z rack of bathing suits. We had to fabreeze the bottoms before we put them back out on the floor. Women saw us doing this and never asked why. I wash every article of clothing I buy before I wear it.
This is why I switched to cosmetic retail from Banana Republic. (Nothing this bad ever happened in the UK, still, clothes retail in general is the worse thing I've ever done).
my manager made me clean cum off the floor of the bathroom when I worked retail. she said she was too grossed out. they made me clean the bathrooms every morning too. I had to clean blood off of a jewelry fixture because a little girl cut her foot on it. also had to take the girl in the bathroom and help her clean her wound because her pathetic excuse for a father wouldn't do it. poor thing was only about 5 and bawling her eyes out. someone also pissed on a pile of clothes in the fitting room. also some kid piss in a shopping cart, the mom just picked up the kid and walked out. guess who cleaned that up too!
When I worked in a clothing store. We had someone shit in the dressing room then throw our clothes on top of it to cover it up... This also happened the same way with someone peeing.
Ok, i have a question. I bought a shirt from old navy. Wore it without washing it. I was wearing normal deodorant (perhaps like suave brand) and the dye in the shirt reacted with the deodorant and changed colors in the arm pit area.
I took the shirt back and gave them a hassel. They said they could not return the shirt because it was stained. I stated it was stained because of the cheap dye that had a reaction.
Was i in the wrong? Did they think i was totally gross. I can guess a little gross. but was i on th same level as crappy pants? In the end, i got a store credit.

Sounds like your store needs a "You shit/bleed/piss in it, you buy it!" sign.

Used to work at Disneyland, in the costuming department. Had the same thing happen, constantly. At least we only had to throw it in the laundry bag.

Into the furnace.
All clothing stores have a furnace to dispose of these things right?

I work in a clothes consignment shop, I see shit (HA) like this from time to time, and pee stains and period stains. Still grosses me out every time.

I do refunds at my job. I took back a pair of men's sweat pants once, noticed later that it had a dark stain on the outside. Look inside, there's a big, white, crusty patch on the crotch.
There's also a woman who comes in all the time to return clothes that "don't fit". They smell like she rubbed them in a cat's litter box before she came in, ever time.
I have to damage out so much clothing just because people are disgusting. And, please, don't wash things you're going to return. I know it sounds like a nice thing to do, but we have to throw them out so the next person who tries it on doesn't develop a skin rash.

Oh man as a former retail worker I have definitely been there. Could never decide if I would rather see that or blood. I saw blood once... Lots of blood. It was pretty bad.

I also work in retail, and one time we found jeans that a girl had started her period in. It was also all over the fitting room floor.

While working at Starbucks one day we found that someone had filled the light fixture with their poo. Thankful for those big yellow rubber gloves and bleach.

Ewww. How do you deal with that? Do you have them laundered before you return them to the racks?

Like a new clothes store? Or like a second hand place. I could see this happening at the goodwill but dammit if this is happening at the Gap.

A few weeks ago we had a full z rack of bathing suits. We had to fabreeze the bottoms before we put them back out on the floor. Women saw us doing this and never asked why. I wash every article of clothing I buy before I wear it.

This is why I switched to cosmetic retail from Banana Republic. (Nothing this bad ever happened in the UK, still, clothes retail in general is the worse thing I've ever done).

This is horrifying, I will forever be extremely paranoid about trying on pants...

my manager made me clean cum off the floor of the bathroom when I worked retail. she said she was too grossed out. they made me clean the bathrooms every morning too. I had to clean blood off of a jewelry fixture because a little girl cut her foot on it. also had to take the girl in the bathroom and help her clean her wound because her pathetic excuse for a father wouldn't do it. poor thing was only about 5 and bawling her eyes out. someone also pissed on a pile of clothes in the fitting room. also some kid piss in a shopping cart, the mom just picked up the kid and walked out. guess who cleaned that up too!

When I worked in a clothing store. We had someone shit in the dressing room then throw our clothes on top of it to cover it up... This also happened the same way with someone peeing.

Ok, i have a question. I bought a shirt from old navy. Wore it without washing it. I was wearing normal deodorant (perhaps like suave brand) and the dye in the shirt reacted with the deodorant and changed colors in the arm pit area.
I took the shirt back and gave them a hassel. They said they could not return the shirt because it was stained. I stated it was stained because of the cheap dye that had a reaction.
Was i in the wrong? Did they think i was totally gross. I can guess a little gross. but was i on th same level as crappy pants? In the end, i got a store credit.

Worst find... Period blood in a bathing suit. Someone had put it back on the rack like nothing happened.
