She started out polite

[Food Lady]

and devolved to sucky attitude in 5 seconds. She had 20 clothing items and said, "I'd like to keep the hangers if I could, thank you." See? She even gave me the option to say no, which I did. When she saw she wasn't getting her desired hangers, her response was "you're kidding." I explained that our corp has to buy them because manufacturers don't provide them, and if they did, the clothes would be heavier to ship and more expensive. (I thought better of mentioning where the whole cheap-goods-from-China issue, but how ignorant are people? They're buying a shirt for $5.) Cue major catbutt-face. At least she didn't really argue.

Geez, she could buy them 10 at a time in a dollar store. Cheapass.

I never want the hangers. I actually take them out myself and hand them over at the register.

I do the same

[Android Kaeli]

I can get a big pack of hangers at Wally World for about $5, they're cheap to buy.

That reminds me . . . I need to go through my closet and get rid of all the extra hangers I've accumulated from the dry cleaners and the store.

I don't care if I get them or not. It's just not a huge deal.

Same here. As others have said, multipacks of hangers are pretty cheap at a lot of stores. Plus, frankly, I really don't want some hanger that's been handled by a number of people with questionable handwashing skills, the wire hook straightened and bent back, the clips broken, the plastic body cracked, or any number of things that happen to store hangers Better the store gets it back to reuse or recycle.

10 pack of those big, thick plastic hangers, $1.25 at Walmart.

I actually prefer the wire hangers. My grandmother taught me to decorate and pad them with essentially crocheting 2 different colors of yarn over the wire. I fancy the ends of the yarn up with beads and danglies, makes a cute housewarming present - package of a dozen or so rainbow colored hangars with danglies =)

The dry cleaners around here pay a 1.00 for every hundred turned back in.

I always felt bad for the college students moving into the dorms. WM throws the extra hangers away, so at the end of shift we'd have tons of extra hangers. Yet we were careful to "recycle" (translation: throw away out of sight) when college students were moving in, so they'd be forced to purchase hangers instead of enjoy freebies.

My grandmother and I did the same thing, covering wire hangers with yarn. I still have one of them. It must be about 55 years old.

i hand the hangers back at the checkout

the ones i already have have been a bit "fruity" in my wardrobe already and multiplied themselves so now instead of 20 or 30 there are about 900 or so

[EricKei]

Pfft. There's a much easier way to get hangers...throw half a dozen into an empty closet, close the door and come back in two days...You should then have at least a hundred brand new hangers, all tangled up together in one huge ball...

The damn things BREED, I swear...>_>

[Becks]

Something's wrong with my hangers. They don't breed.
