What would you do if you found a designer bag worth thousands of dollars at a thrift store? A 19-year-old thrift store employee found herself in this exact situation and couldn’t believe her luck. Despite the store’s policy that employees cannot purchase items labeled with the current week’s color, the employee decided to wait until the bag was no longer restricted and bought it for herself.
