Kinharia Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Hello Fuzz/scalebutts. I work in a small cafe cooking and serving food. Now that in of itself is not too bad and I enjoy it a lot! However I have found that there is one particular customer that is our regular and although quite elderly and lovely, the only way I can describe her is that she hasn't bathed since 1972. I will not lie as you can smell her coming from down the street and we've had to buy not one but TWO airfreshners for when she appears, she puts off customers who come in. Unfortunately due to the law we can not exclude from coming in. Does anyone else work in Catering/Retail where you have to deal with highly unhygienic customers? Literally this woman never bathes...

Signy Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Nope, but I have tons of disgusting, what-the-fuck-is-wrong-with-you-why-won't-you-shower stories about people in the Navy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayattar Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Well, I don't work in catering/retail, but after 2 or 3 days of concerts, during the festivals I'm working on, some people can be really disgusting. Luckily there are very few of them, also depending on the festival.Alternative, pop and electronic music festivals being the cleanest and rock festivals being plain tragedy.

Literally this woman never bathes...Her name is Simone, and she hasn't showered because she's still waiting for her man. No, I don't expect that to make sense to anyone.

Kinharia Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 The strangest thing about this woman is her Husband. He is always well groomed, presentable and showers practicaly every day. She is unhygienic as you can be and he is a hygiene freak. How did the two mix?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaedal Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 They do say opposites attract, but that's ridiculous. Call in law enforcement next time she drops by, and tell them that you suspect a chemical spill has occurred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KookyFox Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 When I worked as a guardian and later as a Clerk/Public "handler" at Avignon's festival we had a simple rule. If someone shows no respect for the others we asked them to leave, that includes hygiene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratmomma Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 My favorite are the customers have hand you money they pulled out of their sweaty boob (or fat) folds, the ones that seemingly never shower and you can smell them before you can see them, and the ones that smell like an outhouse that hasn't been cleaned in a year.

Clove Darkwave Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Oh boy my favorites, hard to decide you know. There's the customers that come in stinking like weed, the ones that think sweaty boob money isn't disgusting, and all of your other usual suspects.Special mentions goes to an old man who smells like beer and rotten onions that comes in.The reigning champion continues to be that customer who obviously never washes their piercings.

Skylar Husky Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I worked at university in undergraduate work studies when I was in the junior and senior years at college. We had a woman there from a country in Western Europe who was working on getting her Ph. D. did not believe in showering every single day. Granted, the country where she came from probably did not have many days which were over 100 Fahrenheit (38 C) and in most of Western Europe, many believe that people in the United States waste water bathing daily, but she needed a bath every day. She was here in 100 degree hot Texas summers where the inside of her car could be 130 or 140 degrees if parked outside in full sunlight and she sweated and stank. She could out-stink me after a 30 minute sweat-inducing cardio workout at the gym!I think the worst is when you are walking and someone has obviously had something to eat with a lot of garlic, cumin and a few other strong spices the day before. If they have began to sweat, the odor can wither flowers and water my eyes! You would swear they haven't bathed in many days. You would be wrong, many pungent and acrid spices have a way of traveling through the body and out of the sweat glands and do so in such a way it smells like the body odor which has been on the body for long enough to be moist, then it dries. (GAH! This is getting gross. LOL.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kellie Gator Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I'm unemployed but my siblings aren't exactly pros at hygiene.My sister stayed at my place for a whole week and didn't shower once. I say this a lot but, fuck, I'll never get over that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misomie Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 The customers I can't stand are the ones that smell like they went to a sauna but instead of steam, it was cigarette and cigar smoke. They smell so bad that the smell lingers and I get a tad nausiated. Bleh! Haven't had to deal with those that refuse to bathe yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
