I learned a lot about people while working at a major department store during college. A lot:1. A grown woman will urinate in a changing room if she "can't find a bathroom."
2. If a man wants to try on panties in the ladies lingerie department, you have to let him.
AND
3. People will hide clothes in dark, GROSS places when they try to steal.
A shoplifter was nabbed by a store manager on my second day at work. The man had stolen a number of Tommy Hilfiger shirts, concealing several in his pants. After sending the thief to the pokey, my manager brought the shirts back to me and instructed me to hang them back up. That's right, I had to hang butt-flavored shirts back up on a Tommy Hilfiger rack like nothing ever happened. (And people wonder why I am a germaphobe now.)
Anyway. Good Morning America recently tested 14 clothing samples from low- and high-end stores. Their results were nasty, to say the least. They found feces, vaginal secretions and germs that cause diarrhea on the samples.
So please, take it from me and Good Morning America: Wash your new clothes before you wear them! (And wash your hands after trying them on.)
