Penneys worker shares secret trick to getting your size if it’s missing in stores

There is nothing worse than finding an outfit you love before realising your size is nowhere to be found.

However, we may have found the perfect solution to the problem.

Former Primark employee and TikToker Caitlin Sinnet has opened up about the secret she discovered whilst working in the store in her viral video, which garnered 149.5k views.

She explained that your size would not appear on the sales floor due to the limited stock in each store.

Caitlin said: “We probably won’t have your size in stock or the item in stock because we hold little to no stock in the shop.

A customer carries branded shopping bags at a Primark store, operated by Associated British Foods Plc, in Berlin, Germany, on Friday, Sept. 28, 2012. Founded in Dublin as Penneys in 1969, Primark generates more than 3 billion pounds in annual sales from 238 stores, employing about 40,000 people in seven countries. (gettyimages.ie)

“We only order the stock that we need. We don’t hold stock to sit in the back. Literally, if the rail is empty, that item will be ordered in, nothing more, nothing less, only what we need.

“Unless, of course, if it’s new style or new items, but all of those will probably be put straight back out, and nothing will go in the stock room.”

She shared in a previous video that Primark can actually order clothes in, saying: “We can order things in, but we probably won’t tell you that because we literally can’t be arsed to do so.

“Same goes for calling other shops for stocks on sizes. We can do it, but we probably won’t offer it.”

You may have heard the rumour that if you find a damaged item that you want to buy in Penneys, you can get a discount .

According to Caitlin, that is actually true, she explained: “If you want to buy an item and it’s damaged, you can take it to the till and say to the person that’s serving you, and they will get their supervisor or manager over who will take money off it so you will get it at a discounted price.

“The same goes if you buy something and go home and realise that it’s damaged. If you do want to keep it, you can take it back and get your money back from Primark and buy it back at a reduced price from them.

“Say it was a button missing from them, but you could sow it back on, then you can kind of sell it back to them and buy it back off them, and you will get it at a cheaper price.”
