I still don't know the size without a tag

[georgiab]

I have posted a thread here before about this topic and foolishly thought that it may get better...I HAS NOT! I work at the Salvation army for those who do not know so to refresh everyone's memory i had stated that I am asked quite a bit what size something is that doesn't have a tag in them...Now I don't understand how anyone can figure I would know this if they themselves do not know. But today IT HAPPENED again only this time the loser and his girl got attitude about it. I was at the counter and the two "lovely" youngsters were browsing through the bras when he looks up and hold up a bra and saids "This doesn't have any tags on it, What size is it'?...To which I respond I do not know!! Now he smarts off and basically acts like I am lazy for not having the ability to know this...Now his "woman" is the one who wants it Why would I somehow have more knowledge about this than she...she is the one buying it for HERSELF!!!! I mean I don't know people I am sorry but How would I????? I don't know what size every article of clothing in the damn store is...Why is this so F@#king common : :deadhorse

The way women's clothing sizes are these days, you could just say any number that popped into your head, and they'd have no way to prove you were making it up. :P

(Well, maybe not for bra sizes, but for everything else.)

Sadly, she's right.

If you know you are a large and the shirt looks like a small...then you can't wear it...I am not a babysitter okay i do not know what will and will not fit you okay so if I say it's a large when in fact it's not then that proves I do not know what size it is....People are adults it's a rthrift store not a department store..Stop asking me only you can decide not me I am not employed as a semtress I am only a meager sales clerk

I don't know but the fitting room is right over there if you'd like to TRY IT ON!!!

Skid Marks On My Heart...

The Salvation Army sells underwear?
Please tell me that they're seconds or close-outs.
Please tell me that Salvation Army doesn't sell used underwear.

I guess the thought of a store selling used underwear is only slightly less gross than people actually buying it.

[georgiab]

Sorry but the Salvation army does sell used undergarments...LOL...along with other well known thrift stores also. I will be honest sometimes we sell more than we can keep stocked.

[Demonoid Phenomenon]

Underwear? Under there!

Yow.
That boggles the mind.

I've bought many a stitch of used clothing in my day when money was tight, but underwear is just something that needs to be bought 'fresh'.

I guess TECHNICALLY a used shirt and used set of underpants are the same.
TECHNICALLY.

Okay, NO! Thought about it. Sorry. Eww.

I suppose a used bra isn't as bad as a used pair of undies . . . but still . . . nothing personal, but I agree, I believe undergarments should be bought new. Although, undies and bras can get pretty spendy.

[georgiab]

Yeah bras i let go because well they aren't worn in that personal of an area...I have seen new barely worn victoria secret bras go out the door for .50.....One that my fiance at the time bought me that cost 50.00 came in and obviously hadn't been worn but maybe a few times went for the price of .50 so that I can let go but the undies well that's another story....

Georgia, here's what you do. Someone comes up to you and asks about the size (this only works for women's clothing, mind you. Men don't tolerate the BS we women do, and have things like collar measurements and inseams), you eyeball it. Does it look like a small-ish thing? Then it's about a size 4. Is it a medium? Okay, call that an 8 or a 10. Call a large a 16, XL 20 and so on. Give your numbers with confedance, but do so after closely studying the clothing, as if you know what you're doing.

Soon, you will be looked upon with awe, like you're a mythic being, mystically interconnected with the clothing, possessed of knowledge that meer mortals cannot understand. People will ask you how you know this, and you'll just smile crypticaly and say "When you've worked here as long as I have, you start to get a feel for these things." Also, once you answer the SCs inane questions, they will go away. (Maybe.)

SC's never go away. They'll just come up with even more stupid questions than the ones they're asking now.

[Getoutofmylobby]

Think of all the wedgies you've had. Now imagine selling your underpants afterwards.



I hope i never have to buy used underpants...

[georgiab]

EL barto you are correct they never stop...I will not amuse myself by pretending too care.....I help those who need it not those who are lazy...figure it out yourself..I will not be wearing it YOU will!

[SCSlave]

You could make up a size...but I promise you...they will invariably come back with...


"How do you know??? There's no tag."
