I can think of worse things.
If I were to play devil's advocate for a moment- aren't the clothese worn under your clothes potentially the cleanest thing you're putting in the laundry? At least underwear usually isn't subjected to anything other than our skin. I'm not naive enough to dismiss the issue of stains. I just think it would be a completely different situation if they were using, lets say, old aprons. Having worked in bar that had a kitchen, I can tell you that plenty of things left on the aprons before laundering were just as nasty as anything that could be left on underwear. Little knicks that drew blood are clotted on the apron, wiping your nose or sneezing are some examples I can think of off hand. Hell, the napkins on the table are laundered the same way and plenty of us customers blow our nose, or wipe god knows what on them. I can't imagine anyone would bat an eye if they used old napkins instead of underwear.
I'm not saying it's the same thing. I just think they're both pretty gross- but we only care about underwear because, well, it's underwear.
