      I used to work in the car business and one Sunday morning a guy came in super early and traded in a really new SUV. His car was really new and nice and he took a bath on the trade so everyone was confused why he did it until the detail guys took the car upstairs to get it ready for resale and found the porn DVD stuck in the car's DVD player!

    I worked in retail at a higher end women's clothing store. Around the holidays people would buy a dress, wear it to an event, and then return it. I once had a customer who brought a dress back that just reeked of sweat and smoke. I was always amazed at the audacity of some people.

      I'm glad he made it right but I cannot remotely imagine having that instinct if it really was about choosing to ruin her bag over his own precious upholstery. A lot of people carry their whole lives in their bags, what else of hers got puke all over it?? And she was the one who had to clean it?? Even if vomit in a car WEREN'T a common problem with many solutions, it's much easier to escape the smell of your car than the smell of all your important portable possessions at once. Damned if that isn't some emblematically Straight Dude behavior.

    The grossest story I ever had was at Geek Squad when we had a customer bring a bed bug/cockroach infested computer in for repairs. He opened this bag and bugs started to just crawl out... that was the grossest thing I’ve ever seen.

I get goosebumps thinking of bugs crawling out of stuff like a computer, OMG ew.

    Here’s a gross retail story:
    I worked at a boutique which sold all types of brands from Ed hardy, Obey, True Religion just to name a few. During that time Ed Hardy tunic t-shirt dresses were in style. This late 40’s-50’s Asian woman wanted to try on the tunic t-shirt dresses. Mind you, they’re not considered dresses however if you’re petite enough you can. I’m 5’8” and cannot wear it as a dress. Anyway, she tries on the dress and comes out to look at herself in the full body mirrors and this man in his 40’s-50’s who is trying on stuff as well so happens to come out when she’s out. Home girl is my size and wearing it as a dress. This man is now checking her out and he’s like damn that looks good. I’m just standing there in shock because it’s so short 😳 because of his compliment she BENT OVER and she’s wearing a thong.
    You would think that’s all but NOOOO. She’s wearing a giant period pad 🤦🏻‍♀️ this period bad was so long/big it was almost at the top of the thong (does that make sense?!). I was so freaked out I didn’t know what to do. But I got myself together and told her please do not bend over. THE MAN WAS STILL INTO IT. JZS I will never forget this.

Told him this is clearly used and we cannot take this back. He kept saying they're brand new and unworn, he bought them like that. Well, as a force of habit, i checked the pockets, and found a tied up used condom. Told his ass to take his crap and get out the store. He dipped real quick, seeing how petrified and embarrassed he was, not just fr the used condom, but adamantly saying it's unworn and made it seem like it was the store's fault for selling him a dirty garment.

    As for gross experiences... I used to work as a cashier. Once a client approached me asking if we could exchange his banknotes for "fresh" ones, since his were apparently, as he said, "partly destroyed". In my country there's a policy of exchanging damaged notes, of course depending on their state. Sometimes they are exchanged at once, harder cases go to the central bank for further examination. In order to assess the notes' condition, I asked the client to show them. To my surprise, he took out a plastic food container, saying that the money's "got a bit wet". Then he proceeded to describe how he dropped the money in front of his house and found it a couple of days later in the grass (wet, since it's been raining for days). The story seemed strange, but I thought what the hell, and opened the container. In short, it was a mistake. Each note was like 50% your regular note, but the other half... well, it was bad. The "halves" were crumpled together in a wet, sticky pulp, and when I tried to pull them apart, it turned out there were literal white, moving worms inside them. I almost vomited, and I'm not faint-hearted. I shoved the box aside and told the client to take it away and no, we won't change the notes, and he replied "but they are half fine" and demanded compensation and talking to the senior specialist. Luckily our head cashier was very assertive and refused again, so he took the box and left.

    (Not a disgusting story... just my repair story) I brought my '83 Keepall 45 back to LV to repair. The zipper pull had somehow busted and came off making it impossible to close the bag (like the entire pull not just the tab). So I brought it in to get the zipper replaced and they were SO nice and polite to me, one French SA there couldnt stop looking at it and telling me how beautiful it was (haha they REALLY love their products there!). They told me that they COULDNT repair it IF even ONE of the stitch holes was ripped and she told me that they would send it back if they couldnt resew on a new zipper. So it turned out all the holes were still in excellent condition (even after 35 years!) and they replaced the zipper (looks great BTW). My dog has chewed up the corner of my LV card wallet and the seam had come loose, the lady told me right there just to buy another one because they couldnt repair it. Moral of these stories? They are fairy particularly as to what repairs they will take on and what they wont. If they cannot get it looking perfect they wont take it on.

    Hey Cindy, I have a quick question. If I purchase a pre loved LV bag and it has the stamp mark showing that it was an employee purchase, e.g. the round circle or the V with a circle, will they be hesitant or refuse to perform repairs on it in the event I ever want to replace the leather or have anything repaired? Also, if it is defective, will they not allow for a store credit?

It was caked around the rim of the bottle with matted strands of hair and makeup. The bottle looked like it had been rolling around in an ashtray. 🤢 It was common when doing a return for us to check foundation to see if it was empty. When i went to check the bottle I grabbed a tissue and opened the lid and out plopped makeup coated hair! Yeah the manager approved it and tagged the girls account for all her future purchases to be final sales.

    So this may sound totally made up because it’s soo disgusting and unbelievable. About 5 years ago I used to work in a Pharmacy. One day this man and woman with two kids(about 4-6 years old) were waiting for their commuter bus, and they decided to just sit in the chairs in the back by the pharmacy. The techs started smelling something bad and noticed a couple piles of poop on the floor!!! Everyone was confused and thought a dog came in the store.We later found out there was poop on the floor in the bathroom as well!! We put two and two together and realized it was the two kids. And it made sense why the parents actually left quickly to go outside. I should mention a majority of the commuters who rode the bus were very uncivilized, low class people. Including these parents! That same night another woman that also took the commuter bus came in with her son and went straight to the bathroom. A few minutes later she came up asking for paper towels and said her son was sick and had diarrhea in his pants. I had to go back and give her paper towels and cleaners. It smelt sooo bad!! His shoes were in the sink covered in diarrhea and it was on the floor. She at least tried to clean it up. I felt bad he was about two years old and seemed to have a stomach bug. It’s insane it happened all in the same day! We called a cleaning company to clean the bathroom. My manager was so angry!

A customer points out a pair of underwear on one of the display tables in the front of the store with skid marks on them.

    You would be SHOCKED at the number of ppl that will drop their pants in the middle of a store and just go right there. 2 💩 right where anyone could see. One of them I particularly enjoyed because my lazy manager was in the next aisle when it happened and had to clean it up as I was taking the daily deposit to the bank. Apparently he caught the guy at the end and was so shocked the guy had time to pull up his pants and walk out the door..... leaving little poo piles every other step. Dude had been literally 10 ft from the bathroom and next aisle over from a key holding manager, but nope. Had to go right in the middle of the baby aisle.
