The Goodwill Outlet (better known as “the bins”) is like the
regular Goodwill except that all the clothes are just dumped into
gigantic wheeled carts and sold by the pound and sometimes there’s,
like, a tampon in there. But do not be deterred! You dig, you are
diligent, and then you find it! An oversize sweatshirt with an
airbrushed portrait of Aaliyah and “JAZMINE” in bubbly letters on the
back! Or the best jeans you will ever own! Or a tampon! (Just ignore
it.) Afterward, head to Saigon Deli in the ID for a crunchy, tangy,
cheap-ass Vietnamese sandwich. Wash your hands first. (Goodwill
Outlet, 1400 S Lane St, 860-5711, 9 am–9 pm. Saigon Deli, 1237 S
Jackson St, 322-3700, 7 am–7 pm.)

Somehow “crunchy, tangy” takes on a very nasty meaning after two tampon mentions.
AND the tofu salad rolls are pimp.
Are the tampons used or unused?
That makes a HUGE difference, especially when finding unexpectedly.
who wants to dress like an out-of-touch-businessman?
