Dressing room ettique...for ladies!

quichebradford

If you try on an item in the dressing room, and you mess it up, what do you do? For instance, you try on a dress (or shirt) and in the process of pulling it over your head, you get makeup all over it. The item doesn't fit right so you don't want to buy it...and now it has makeup all over it. What would you do?

My wife would hand it to me to put back on the rack.

Put it back. Makeup can be washed off. Stores don't even give discounts for stuff like that lol

I've done this before. If I am the one that messed it up, I would buy it just because it was my fault.

If I got makeup on a shirt, a button fell off, or a zipper broke, I would tell the fitting room attendant when I hand her back the items. I may not necessarily say *I* messed it up, but I would bring it to her attention.

I'm a guy that doesn't wear make-up. It really depends on the damage done to a garment. If a button came off, for instance, I would give it to an attendant to sew. If it required more than a simple hem, then I would probably feel obligated to buy it...

...but...

...stores build a "damaged upon delivery" cost into their budgets. Most stores are allotted a certain amount of product that they are allowed to return. So at the end of the day, I wouldn't feel particularly guilty if I caused some sort of imperfection in the material.

I'd put it back. You wash your clothes anyway before wearing them, makeup washes off.

If it's make-up, I'd just give it back to the fitting room attendant. I'm sure that happens a lot at women's clothing stores.

If I did something that made the item unsellable, it depends on how it happened. If it was completely my fault, I'd offer to pay. I'm not a liar. But if it was the result of poor craftmanship and not me abusing the clothes, I'd tell them what happened, but I would not pay for it.

I see clothes on the rack with make up on it all the time. It happens.

Put it back on the hanger and rack.

Discount stores don't usually have dressing room attendants. :laugh:

I would tell them, but I wouldn't pay for it. Now, if my child peed on it or something, then I would. As someone else said, stores have that waste accounted for in their budgets - it's also why there are stores like TJ Max and Nordstrom Rack - they send those items there.

Not quite the same because of the cost differences but my son spilled a container of blueberries in the grocery store once- the manager told me to go get a new container and that the store had a "slush fund" for things like that.
