A TikToker who goes by the name @octagonGlasses has a warning for shoppers.
“I don’t know if this is common practice but just wanted to share. I worked at a clothing store and the manager wanted the workers to wear the store’s clothes. Most of us didn't have any of their clothes nor could we afford them, even with the employee discount. What ended up happening most of the time is that we would just go into the store, pick something out that wasn’t sold yet, take off the tag, put it on and work our shift. We would work all day. We were sweating. And at the end of our shift, we would take off the clothes, put the tags back on, and then put them back into the store.
Studies have shown that new clothes sometimes carry norovirus, bacteria including strep and staph and even fecal germs!
Do you wash your new clothes before wearing them?
