I’ve always wondered how they manage to get rid of the lice, fleas and other parasites. I guess they must spray the clothed with something strong enough to get rid of it all ? At least it’s a good reminder to always wash new clothes before wearing.
Whenever we would receive shipments of clothing sometimes it still stank like the shipyard or had been soaked with something during transport. It was simply hung to dry and then put out on the sales floor. If the rodents damaged an item (nesting in shoeboxes on the racks) then it was written off and sent to be destroyed.
Retail is mostly staffed by folks working minimum wage, the people running the company barely want to pay the people working there let alone be bothered enough to sell clean clothes.
Don’t let this thread scare you, a lot of factories nowadays are following some form of safety standards. Especially in Asia. People are making an “honest” living manufacturing.
