Today At Work – Excuse Me M’am

Today at work I had a customer who had her child along with her. As I was ringing through her purchases, two very particular smells wafted towards me from her son. One was of peanut butter, and the other was of shit. And this boy was no baby. He was at least 11.

Is there any polite, non-intrusive way for you to say “Excuse me M’am, but your son smells like shit” ?. I couldn’t think of any and so I kept my mouth shut.

I can only hope one of them figures it out for themselves before to long.

    This is not the first time you have had a person in the store with their child who smelt like that….

    I think I remember another post along those lines.
