Zep 0 #1 January 19, 2014 Yesterday I lost two customers and gained at least 15. The story, Yesterday lunch time I was overseeing the line in the kitchen when I happened to move near the door that leads to the dinning area and smelt Patchoul oil, (Patchoul oil being the second most disgusting smell in the universe, (the first being roadkill after three or four weeks.)) So in full whites I went out to the dinning area looking for a server wearing asaid mentioned disgusting oil, BUT NO it was a couple of old women sitting at a table polluting my restaurant. This is where Mr FAULTY would of been proud of me. I went straight to the cleaning cupboard and took out the bottle of smell neutralizing spray It's like the same product that automatically neutralizes a stinky crap in the toilet. So off I go making a bee line for table of these two old biddy throw backs from the hippy area and prance round their table, happily spraying the crap smell killing aerosol all around their table. They took offense, so I kicked them out, the wife went loopy (She's the boss of front of house) And a whole load customers thanked me. The moral of this true story is don't go to public places wearing that shit because it offends most people. Gone fishing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LuckyMcSwervy 0 #2 January 19, 2014 Thank God someone has the balls to take care of these matters without worrying about offending the offenders. If you were here in the USA they'd be suing you for hurting their feelings. Any chance you have a can of "don't take your babies to 5* restaurants" spray? If so, please send it over here. Bravo!! Always be kinder than you feel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TriGirl 343 #5 January 21, 2014 That stuff permeates everywhere! I used to wear it in college -- just a small bit mixed with another, less potent scent. It was still overpowering, though. I had no idea how potent it was, since I was around it all the time. I was at work one night (working in a blues bar), when one of my coworkers simply told me the scent was really strong. I apologized and immediately went to wash my wrists, and thanked them for pointing it out! Months later, when I hadn't worn it since, I noticed I could still smell it on the t-shirts I wore to work! (yes, even after multiple washings) Of course, that is about the level that is appropriate -- where it takes some one getting really close to you to notice any kind of fragrance. Too bad there isn't some socially acceptable way to tell perfect strangers that their chosen fragrance is too strong.

hcsvader 1 #7 January 21, 2014 oldwomanc6I applaud you! I can't stand perfumes. And any folks that go beyond the barest hint of it should be hosed off in public. I swear I'm allergic to perfume. Its not uncommon to see me in a bar having a sneeze seizure after someone has walked by wearing to much of the stuff.Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its not uncommon to see me in a bar having a sneeze seizure after someone has walked by wearing to much of the stuff. I use: - unscented laundry detergent. - unscented body wash. - unscented deodorant. One day the grocery was out of the unscented detergent, so I bought some of the stinky stuff, then went home and washed the sheets and pillow cases. About 11pm that night, unable to sleep because I couldn't stand to inhale, I yanked the pillowcases off the pillows, and threw them in the corner.

One of my friends at the dz always says he knew I was there when I wear Chanel Allure, but he loves Chanels, not a complaint. I swear my 3 sinus surgeries have affected my sense of smell. I'm sorry, people. Always be kinder than you feel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
