3 Outrageous Things We Found in the Laundry!
We understand how easy it is to forget things in your pockets before sending them to the wash. However, there are some odd items that have left behind for us to find! What are you guilty of losing in the laundry?
- The Incomplete Business Transaction –We were driving back to the office after a typical pick-up, when we received an atypical phone call. A customer frantically called us about an envelope he had left in his uniform pocket. An envelope filled with $3,000! Our driver quickly pulled over, went through the customer’s dirty clothes and found the envelope filled with cash. The customer was ecstatic to have all the money returned, he called the local radio station and shared his story.
- The Missing Wedding Band – This has happened on more than one occasion – with the culprits both the husband and wife. Inside shirt pockets, work pants, overalls or aprons. Most people take their wedding band off to wash their hands, in hopes to not lose it down the drain or overflowing trash bin. Unfortunately, the busy day continues and they forget to put the ring back on. Don’t worry, we hold all rings until the rightful owner is identified.
- The Collector – It is easy to grab a handful of mints at a restaurant as you leave and stuff them in your pocket without much thought, but it is not so easy to fill your pockets with lighters. Between pants, a jacket, and a coat, a customer managed to have 27 lighters. This situation was comical for all involved, including the customer who seemed surprised himself!
Try to keep yourself out of these sticky situations and thoroughly check your pockets before sending your uniforms back to us.
