I know I just posted something and I'm not going to be a posting whore, but I just had by far the worst smelling family of people in my store.

I was in the office doing inventory and my employee; we will call him "Sally" to hide his true identity, came into the office and asked if he was allowed to ask a customer to leave. I asked why and he said because they smelled like shit and all the other customers were leaving. Now I'm thinking someone just farted and it’s lingering around the cash register so I head out to the sales floor.

When I walked out, I had not gone more than 5 feet when I was struck by the worst stench I had ever smelled through my nostrils, breathing through my mouth didn't even work. I could taste it, and I feel smelling it is easier than tasting it. I look at the people and they were all pretty normal looking but when they came up to the sales counter with some games it actually burned my eyes. Picture placing rotten eggs fart spray and rotten dead animal in a blender and you pretty much got what they were giving off.

Now they spent over $200 on a Nintendo and a bunch of games, and of course I don't mind the money, but not only had they made all the other customers leave, but they guaranteed me they would be back every week for more games...Should I try to tell them they stink or pretend that it doesn’t bother me...I've already gone through a can of French Vanilla Air Freshener, and I swear I saw the French Vanilla particles throwing up and going back in the can...HOW CAN YOU NOT SMELL YOURSELF WHEN YOU SMELL THAT BAD. Someone please advise!

There is this more to everyone's liking...it all reads the same unless your Japanese then you'd probably be really confused reading it up and down from right to left.

As per the stinking people, you really don't need that kind of business. You should probably ask your boss about that, get his go ahead, and kindly inform them that they smell terrible. Only legal or job related repercussions should prevent the offending of offensive people.

I'd ask my boss but I also don't enjoy asking myself questions...people tend to think those kinds of people are crazy. So i'm guessing your saying I should kick them out next time huh? If there is no customers In the store I might just let them go.

This don't really help, but Bruce McCulloch talks about smelly customers in this sketch:

True it didn't really help but it was funny none the less. I can't really say who would fuck him/her because obviously when the family was all together I knew the answer to that question. And as far as thinking I'm king shit, that is quite the opposite. I love my job and it's something I created so I treat it like my baby, Hell Syd names a site after himself and doesn't catch shit It's not like the store is called Douche McCallister's Gaming Emporium. IM JUST SAYING!

Invest in a can of air freshener. You can't insult custom, no matter how much you want. What you can do though, is use air freshener liberally, before, during and after their patronage. This has three effects: 1. Obviously it fights the smell, if only vaguely. 2. It says to your other customers "Yeah I know, I smell it too" and should make them feel less inclined to leave. 3. There's always a chance they'll get the fucking hint. If they can call you on it, you can feign ignorance and say you think the drainage system must have broken. They'll know the truth deep down though, the truth deep down.

LMAO Yea if only I could have been there during the whole thing, shit might have gone down differently. I'm not known for my quite reserved nature there anyways so they probbably won't even notice...unfortunately...unless they happen to be members of this site. If that is the case...Thank You Come Again!
