Making You Sweat Over A Sweatshirt

Employees, Gym, Lazy/Unhelpful, Pennsylvania, USA | Working | June 5, 2020


I leave a brand-new sweatshirt at the gym on a Tuesday. I ask about it each time I go in for the next two days. Both times — without anyone checking — I’m told nothing was turned in this week.

This conversation happens on Saturday.

Me: “Did anyone turn in a gray sweatshirt?”

Attendant: *Barely looking up* “Nope. Nothing turned in this week.”

Me: “Can you check? I think I see the sleeve of a gray shirt in the box back there.”

Attendant: “Nope. Nothing this week.”

Me: “Please check. I think that’s my sweatshirt.”

The attendant sighs audibly, looks, and hands me my sweatshirt.

Attendant: “It’s been in there a while. I’d wash it before wearing it.”
