They experienced me inspected each individual time.

This wasn’t the only thing this worker had to get treatment of outside the house of perform.

[OO새마을금고 차장 (녹취)]

When it comes to washing the towels, he said at initially: “We did it with each other.”

“Because it is really a towel applied by customers, you may possibly believe, ‘It can be washed,’ in a way.

As reporters saved inquiring issues, they inevitably admitted it.
