Okay, that's just nasty!...Part Deux
My years spent working at Dillards brought me such a treasure trove of memories, most of them involving bodily excretions and tales of robberies gone wrong.
Within the same year, three really disgusting things happened to me in a Dillards fitting room.
It was my first assistant manager position and one of my duties was to periodically check the fitting rooms, to ensure all clothing had been removed and fitting rooms cleaned for the next customer. On this occasion, as I was removing clothes left in a pile on the floor, I noticed two little perfectly round plastic bags, filled with a liquid. My friend Brenda happened to walk by as I was doing so and saw me with the two little bags in my hands. I told her I thought it was the weirdest shaped bottle of apple juice I had ever seen, when she informed me the bags were actually bags full of urine, discarded by a customer with a catheter. Fortunately, I wasn't thirsty.
A few months later, I got called to the junior department by an associate, completely freaked out. When I got there, she was babbling incoherently about "someone pooping in the fitting room". I thought this time I would get some back-up. I called my fellow manager Jim and together we entered the scene of the crime. What we found was disturbing: a single, long, black turd was sitting dead in the center of the fitting room floor. I screamed in disgust, while my friend Jim got some tissue paper to pick it up. He gathered it in the tissue and suddenly, without warning, was bringing it to his nose to smell it! I thought I was going to vomit, until we both realized it actually wasn't poop, but a chocolate/chocolate chip cookie someone had cleverly shaped into a turd.
A smell actually led me to my third case. I was walking by the mens denim area, when the most horrible scent assaulted my senses. It was pure, unadulterated s***. My associates noticed me sniffing and a couple of them joined me on the hunt.
What we found was inexplicable. A customer, who obviously could not hold it in, had thrown some clothes on the floor of the fitting room, taken an indescribable huge crap on them, then covered it up with more clothing. Needless to say, Dillards booked a huge loss that day, as about $800 of brand new clothing was mercifully thrown directly into the trash compactor.
