Do they really need to use market research for this question???

I'm an Air Canada air miles junkie. I'll do almost anything to earn aeroplan miles. When Air Canada gave me the option of doing a few online surveys to earn miles, I jumped at the chance. I fly a couple of times a year and every little bit helps. I get an email survey from their marketing firm periodically. The last one I did was ridiculous. It was regarding a department store return policy. I agreed with most of their questions. However, I think there was one that really DID NOT need to be "researched" The question was along the lines of:

"Do you think having a policy of NOT accepting used undergarments for returns/exchanges is acceptable?"

I AGREE!
I AGREE!
I AGREE!

OF COURSE I THINK IT IS AN ACCEPTABLE POLICY!!!

Why the heck would any store accept used undergarments? If I was a store clerk and someone was trying to pass me their skank-o-holic speedo I'd have to be in a full HAZMAT suit before I took it back. Which begs the next question:

What if other surveyors disagree and want to return their tainted panties/boxers/jock straps? If so, would this department store (*cough* rhymes with beers *cough*) re-sell said used panties/speedos?

Today I am afraid of the power of the internet.
