Thrift shops are in general a great place for people to get slightly used clothing. Overall, it seems to be a great system because those that give would have just thrown away the clothes anyway, and those that receive can really use the discount. Have you ever considered, however, the potential for a thrift store to lead to a vulnerability in your company?
People of all types and sizes can donate to thrift stores. This includes Cisco and Comcast employees and others that are traditionally very trusted companies that might be looking at computers or access points. Picking up an official shirt can be one of the ways social engineers use to plant malware or gain access to your sensitive information.
This is a great reason to make sure anyone who may let the real or fake worker into your home of office is trained to call the company that the person is coming from before allowing them into sensitive areas or disclosing any information. Any of these service companie should be able to tell you if they had and who they had sent over to resolve any issues.
