I don't remember ever seeing a diaper in the fitting rooms. But people used
furniture to change them on and would leave them right there. We also sold
file cabinets and metal storage closets. They often put those and used
menstrual pads in there. I don't think anyone ever saw anyone put them in
there but we would sure find them in there. Got to be where if someone
wanted to buy a display, we would take it aside and check it first. Was
almost always something nasty in there.
