That's revolting...although when I worked at Vickies though we did have to take back underwear that we knew was probably worn. I always wash new underwear for that reason specifically!

I work at a sister store of Victoria's Secret and we sell underwear. If we find underwear on the floor or if it's been returned we damage it out. It does not cost that company anything to loose underwear, that cost a total of $.50 to make that we sell for $8. That is just gross. I wash my underwear too, but only once. After reading this I think I may need to do it more than that. Or go to Wally World and get the ugly granny panties that come in a bag.

LMAO LMAO LMAO

Before I worked for Vickie's Catalog in 99, I used to get my panties at Wally World, Value City and other places where panties were by the pack.

I've never returned pannies because I didn't know that you could. I thought that all sales were final on pannies (AND swimsuits) everywhere. I only recently started washing new underwear. That is SOOOOOOOOOOOO gross. I will never look at underwear in the store the same again.

That's why people should buy the cotton panties that are sold in a bag by the sixes . . . 6 pair = $5.99 . . . since they are sealed, one can tell if they are used.

at the used panties! EEEW!

I work for another sister store of VS, who doesn't sell underwear, but if we have clothing returned that has ANYTHING on it, or even smells at all, it gets damaged out, no matter whether it's a necklace or a $70 sweater.

Oh EWWWWWWW. Glad my rear end is too big for those designer panties, and even when I buy the six pack of panties from Wal-Mart, I ALWAYS wash them before I wear them!!

I co-sign on that.

That is just NASTY. And you would think with those types of those being so "high end", they would know better.

When I worked retail clothing if I ever had panties, bathing suits, or those naughty nighties returned, and we could tell they were worn, right into the salvage they go. Some nasty AZZ people would try on panties and lingerie and we'd find them in the fitting rooms. I sent those away too. Sometimes management would try and sell it, but then I'd accidentally leave a pen on it, or it would get caught and ripped, OOOPS.

Oh and don't even trust the plastic bag panties. We had some and the manufacturers send us new bags for when people rip them open. Wash them. Also wash all towels you buy, it takes off the lint and any cooties.

While working at Bloomingdale's, I worked in men's undergarments for about a week (that's all I could stomach). Anytime someone would bring back underwear that was obviously used, we damaged it out and put it into the stock room so that it could be sent back to the merchandiser. And people would return some NASTY stuff. I think I told the story before but I had a guy try returning soiled underwear. I told him that they were a biological hazard and that he needed to take them out of the store. Do people have any shame?!

All my underwear gets immediately washed after purchasing. Even if they weren't a return, someone could have tried them on. Ewwww...

Guilty verdict in restaurant assault case
Manager hit with car over no mayonnaise
By ANDREW TILGHMAN
Copyright 2003 Houston Chronicle

A McDonald's customer who flew into a violent rage when she was denied mayonnaise on her cheeseburger was convicted Wednesday of felony assault for running over the restaurant's manager.

Waynetta Nolan, 37, faces up to 20 years in prison for hitting Sherry Allen Jenkins with her car, dragging the employee across the parking lot and breaking her pelvis.

In the middle of the lunchtime rush, the longtime McDonald's employee had briefly stepped into the drive-through lane to take down the disruptive customer's license plate number when Nolan's sedan lunged forward, witnesses said.

Witnesses said 43-year-old Jenkins screamed, "Stop! Please stop!" as she was thrown from the car hood, caught between the wheels and scraped along the pavement.

Nolan, who has previous convictions for assault and prostitution, said she was oblivious to the entire April 23 episode at the McDonald's near Bissonnet and Beltway 8 in southwest Houston.

Nolan said she had inched her car forward to put ketchup on her burger when she heard a car horn. Realizing she was blocking drive-through traffic, she said, she gunned her car forward.

Nolan testified Wednesday that she thought she had rolled over "a bump" when she ran over Jenkins.

Jurors took less than an hour to convict Nolan of aggravated assault. They will return to state District Judge Brock Thomas' courtroom today to decide Nolan's punishment, which could range from two to 20 years in prison.

The incident began when an 18-year-old employee working at the drive-through window told Nolan mayonnaise was not an option on McDonald's cheeseburgers. When Nolan became angry, she was encouraged to pull her car around to the window counter and speak to the manager.

Witnesses said Nolan cursed and threw a cheeseburger back though the drive-through window.

When Jenkins offered a special-order cheeseburger with mayonnaise, witnesses said, Nolan complained her french fries had grown cold. After receiving new fries, she then demanded a new drink.

Unable to pacify the belligerent customer, Jenkins finally called police, who asked her to get the customer's license plate number.

After running over Jenkins, witnesses said, Nolan sped from the parking lot and drove into oncoming traffic on a one-way feeder road. She was arrested at her home after a man who saw the assault followed her and reported her plate to police.

Jurors had the option of convicting Nolan of a lesser crime, such as misdemeanor reckless driving, but prosecutors said it was her spectacular departure that likely led to her felony assault conviction.

"Did she stop?" asked Assistant District Attorney John Jordan. "Did she say, `Oh my Lord, what have I done?' "

Nolan's attorney, Troy Wilson, said his client simply panicked.

"I think more than anything, it was the panic afterward that hurt her with the jury."
