So here's the deal....would you return used underwear? Right. Eeeeeew. Now... Imagine the skanks who would. Now imagine you're paid minimum wage to deal with them. Really want to start something? Are you going to buy the used undies? So it's not skin off your nose if the manager tells you to retag them.

caveat emptor

I can see this happening at the single brand stores, but how do Bloomies or Macy's have all the various manufacturer tags available? They would only have their own price tags I would think.

Still, washing new shit is a no-brainer.

Even in the 80s when i worked in clothing stores, manufacturers sent spare tags. Tags genuinely get lost all the time.

I do it even if it comes packaged in plastic, because I hate that chemical "new clothes" smell.

...no I never retagged used lingerie -in fact that was in the UK pre customer-is-always-right days. We didn't accept returns at all unless accompanied by the corpse of your first born

I only buy undies in original, sealed packaging ... there aren't a lot of stores that sells panties by the each in my size. When I do find them, they get checked before buying and washed before wearing. I get my bras from QVC these days ... once you find a brand and style you like, you stick with it.

When I worked for a "low price" optical, years ago, We recieved a frame, in original packaging, with a prescription lens in it.

Every time I hear something about bras, I thank God that we men don't have to wear something similar for our boys. Like a nut-sling. Or a huevo-hammock.
