    I just wondered why you went from posting it might have been a mistake or deliberate and then posted to say you thought it was deliberate. smiley-confused013.gif

    The OP did not provide any additional information between your 2 posts.

    There's a massive difference between trying on and wearing for a day.

    How do you know it was worn for "a day" ? Are you psychic ?

    OP, would you have questioned whether it was new if the bandanna hadnt been in the pocket ? If not, just move on.

    Anyway, did the bandana have a little note attached telling the OP how long it had been worn? ;)

    It might of done :) but a short sweaty ride on a bike is probably worse than days wear.

    The more I thought about the more obvious it became. Retailers should check returns more thoroughly before they re sell goods

    Correct I am Zandoni.

    Many years ago I worked for Singer Sewing machines as a repair and delivery man. Once a year they used to give a free table with nearly every machine they sold. We always run out of tables and my dodgy manager made me deliver shop soiled ones in the hope that the customer wouldn't complain. To my surprise only about 10% of people would. One in particular had a massive dent in the corner, I was amazed when the customer said that's OK.

    Again it's amazing what people will accept, we all have different standards. It makes me itchy to think about wearing second hand clothes.

    I do hope you make all your own clothes from scratch then. Or at least don't buy from any company that sells online, has a returns policy or allows customers to try on clothes in store.

    Otherwise its inevitable that at some point, someone else has been wearing items you then went on to purchase and wear yourself.

    I must admit I'm very fussy when I pick something off a rail, there's often signs that it's been tried on by somebody else and I try to steer away from those items.

    Why would that make a manager dodgy?

    Do you consider it acceptable practice for a manager to ask their workers to deliver shop soiled items in the hope that the customer wouldn't notice?

    Well if you don't think it's dodgy to try and pass shop soiled and damaged goods as new, I don't know what to say.

    So once it's put in the shop its second hand then?
