WWYD Smelly shop assistant

[Flatbox]

I was served by a really friendly assistant in a large store and at the end I was handed a feedback form on the service. She was lovely except for her awful BO that made me want to flee the store asap, it was extremely bad. Would you have mentioned it on the feedback form? It went into an anonymous box.

Anonymous - yes I would. Otherwise no as I'm a coward!

I had a poo breath colleague too. She had toothbrushes but they were all pristine and unused.

Worth part was I was always kind of waiting for a gust of it.

What is the cause of poo breath? Do we know?

You can taste him

Pax, that is the exact phrase a customer once said about my poor colleague! So tough - the guy in question was nearing retirement and had recently lost his wife. I often wondered whether it was his uniform, rather than him, that was unwashed as he frequently mentioned singing in the shower.

Agree with PPs who suggested you comment but also praise her work.

Eating poo?!!!!

I would, she sounds rank

It was TKMax, nice and airy, I don't think it would be fair to pin it on the building. I can let a bit of fresh BO pass, waiters and the like, I know they're rushed off their feet and working in steamy conditions but this must have been weeks worth. I don think working on a cash desk can be that physical but then some people sweat when they're nervous.

I don't think she ate poo. She owned quite a few recipe books.

Her kitchen was a bit How Clean Is Your House though so maybe she ate some poo spores. Who knows?

The woman I knew who had poo breath met a lovely man and got married. I was intrigued.

Maybe she married a man with no sense of smell tiej?

How adorable!

He may have liked it. I've heard that scat fetish is more common than we'd like to think.

Perhaps I shouldn't have named shop feel bad about that how do I ask MN to remove it, anyone know?

king How would one get rid of poo spores? What do they look like? Will Zoflora work?

I sort of like TheNazes posts. Incredibly blunt, yet to the point.

I don't think the heat of the shop etc has much to do with it - where I work it extremely hot and we are running around constantly in high heat (fast food) and none of us smell. Its in our contract to maintain hygiene and cleanliness - this includes clean uniform as well as maintaining body odor. My colleges despite running around in the heat never smell, we use deodorant on our break if we have to so its not that issue I don't think.

People who smell so bad in this way are usually neglecting to wash both themselves and their clothes (possibly home environment too) and this build up causes this particular smell - its different than just being sweaty from work. Like the smell of greasy hair etc - its just unique.

Gall stones can cause smelling breath as can constipation

Yes, drink some Zoflora.

Mix with lemonade and add an umbrella. Lovely.

I would really cringe if I had to say anything, poor girl - but I would fill in the form, its possible no one has ever told her. There is no form at our local, excellent chinese takeaway for the delivery man who smells so bad that i now drive to collect it rather than have it delivered

I have a 'strong brew' from my lady garden which I notice after 13 hours of work. Chubby Cupid thighs probably don't help.

If I wore those trousers again the next day I fairly certain I'd have an 'aroma'.

And, yes. I take wipes and talc to work just in case.

I am wondering if some people are less affected by the smell than others. Always have been intrigued as to how people with bad BO can manage to find a partner.
Also - not sure if true - but I was always told that you can't always notice your own smell even when others can.

Joanna Lumley's into it, apparently.

I feel a bit sorry for bad breath people, it's not always easily sorted, and you can't tell if you're one. If I lick my wrist and sniff, it sometimes smells of roses but not always.

JOANNA LUMLEY? NNNNNOOOOOOOO.

I think not flossing causes poo breath. I remember once I hadn't flossed for a while and when I did my back teeth the flosser smelled of poo! I was mortified!

When I was about six I went to a Teddy Bear's Picnic at a National Trust site and Joanna was there in a lovely floral dress and hat.

This thread has me chortling out loud.

I find it incredibly weird when someone is otherwise a normal person having normal standards of hygiene, but they have poo breath.
