I worked a retail job where we had a very liberal return policy, so this was an option. However we were HUGE on customer service and I would have let a family member assist another in a fitting room, though we were a store where we enforced one to a fitting room. Some of it was for theft reasons, but it was also because people would get freaky/intimate and I'd have to break up the party. I would have gotten in more trouble for not allowing a family member to help if there was a complaint (and subsequent bad press) than the chance of offending someone, or having a loss of a few hundred dollars. Employees stole more than customers anyway, but bad press is much harder to justify.
