A surprising discovery of art at Goodwill

[deleted]

What the FUCK!

I worked In Asda for far too long, one day someone finger painted in shit, rolling hills and a sun with rays all in shit in a cubicle. People always find a way to suprise you.

By mom you mean 20% of all Redditors? Because that video has been making the rounds for years.

Maybe they’re saying they showed the video to their mom?

Looks fresh. Like someone did it walking by while they were hanging there🤮

If I ever had a shituation at goodwill where I had to emergency wipe, I’d at least have the decency to buy the fucking clothes I turned into a poo rag

Or throw it in the trash maybe????

You prefer they put it back on the rack if they don’t pay? In case another customer wants shit stained jammies?! Not paying is literally shitty and I also understand not wanting to lug shit smelling pajamas to the front of the store and sheepishly pay. I’ve seen Savers/Vlaue Village with self checkout, never seen it at a Goodwill. You go pay and explain to the worker why you’re buying clothes covered in shit. They don’t get paid enough to handle bio waste.

Wow no. As someone who has worked in retail, I do not get paid even close to the amount I’d need to deal with the shit covered clothes. Throw them out somewhere, don’t make an employee touch it, handle it, or get near it. Obviously at a thrift store you don’t want to just throw merchandise out, but if it’s covered in shit anyway, do NOT make it an employees problem wtf?

I think we are on the same page. Person I was talking to was mad this person would throw out the garment without paying as that’s basically theft. I told them the alternative, without self checkout, is that you bring it to an emoyee who has to ring it up. That’s an asshole move, precisely for the reasons you state. Ya’ll don’t get pain enough to deal with that. In fact, I’m pretty sure from an insurance liability standpoint, if you see shit, you’re not supposed to handle it without PPE. In my experience, many frontline managers and managers in general would write ya up for the audacity of slowing down checkout to not touch shit, however none of ya’ll should have to. However we are on the same page. Don’t make any emoyee touch your shit or interact with it unless you are there for a stool sample or having a medical emergency.

Yes. They’re covered in shit. Don’t make an employee or anyone else deal with it

Why would you conclude that paying for it wouldn’t also involve throwing it in the bin first preferably outside, and washing your hands? I deleted my previous comments because it’s clear that the respondents, like you, don’t understand false dichotomies.

If you are actively experiencing any sort of diarrhea like this just get the fuck out of the store and take your shit with you. Call the store later if you want to explain and pay over the phone. We’re talking about donated used pajama pants with feces on them here, not walking out with a diamond ring or some one-off haute couture dress

Jesus, I tried to be nicer. You’re just a complete lackwit aren’t you. That’s called a strawman argument. No one said anything about whether one should hang around a thrift store with diarrhoea, and I certainly suggested no such thing. The very specific hypothetical was what would one do if one had soiled a piece of clothing on a rack. If you honestly think I was in any way suggesting people _should_ wipe their arses on random pieces of clothing for sale, I recommend you take remedial classes in English. You then concede that you **should in fact pay for it** (which was all I was ever asking you to clarify in my original comment), but your phrasing is an indignant contradiction, like you should throw it in the bin **and never rectify the loss**. It’s been mind-numbing, thanks.

Go ahead and hand the shit stained pajamas to the clerk for them to bag it and check you out then lmao

Is this whole thread filled with idiots? Why on Earth would you think you have to physically hand someone shit-smeared pants to make reparations? Did you miss the part where I literally wrote not to do that? Did you even google what “false dichotomy” means before spouting that drivel?

Hey hey hey. I’m not gonna buy clothes that have shit on them.

… Then conveniently took a picture of it…

Why would you do such a thing? 😑

Sar it was me I have redeemed the poo upon the pants!

This whole Goodwill’s hygiene practices are called into question. They’re supposed to wash the clothes before putting them out on the shelf. If they allow an obvious shit stain, I’d be worried about things like bugs living in their unwashed clothes.

It’s not out of the question that someone put the shit on them while trying them on, after they were washed and put out for display

im a noob, do goodwills have dressing rooms?

Not all op shops will, but in those cases people will sometimes strip down and try stuff on in the middle of the store

Evil the friendly helpful bright hobbies small gather friends quiet helpful fresh.

I’ve been to one with dressing rooms.

Ditto, but they were curtained off ones in the middle of the store, not a proper built area you would get in a real clothes store.
