Exchanging underwear?

is it comany's policy not to exchange underwear or is it against the law?

was in shopping last week and returning some items. i was standing behind a lady in the queue for customer services. she wanted a refund on a bra and knickers because she had bought the wrong size of knickers to match the bra and there were no other ones.

customer service girl explained that she could have a refund on the bra but not the knickers as it was against "company policy to refund/exchange underwear"

lady in front of me kicked up a stink and demanded to speak to a manager, who came out to the till and gave her a full refund :eek:

im pretty disgusted to be honest i always thought that you could never ever get a refund or exchange on underwear?? am i wrong??

    There is nothing unlawful about exchanging underwear. It is down to the discretion of the individual retailer.
    Gone ... or have I?

    ahh ok i was just wondering. feel sorry for the girl at the till though she was obviously told she couldnt do it then her manager comes behind her and made her look like a bit of a fool.

    All I can tell you is they don't look favourably on you if the underwear is soiled in any way.

    Believe me...

    If the item is not defective there is no compunction on the retailer to give a refund anyway.
    They can make their own policy. Many stores have notices to this effect.

    Which store ? Make sure I don't go there - Don't want somebody else's dirty underwear !

    As long as it still has the tags attached I don't see what the problem is.

    We could put them on EBay. No one would complain at that!
