    I worked with a guy back in the retail days that thought laundry and showering were optional. It was so bad we’d get customer complaints 5 check stands away from where he was working. I’m telling you, stings the nostrils, pungent odor. He’d try to cover it up with like febreze and Axe which only made it 10 x worse. I was a supervisor at the time, and being the big brained guy that I am would always send him to the Seafood department when they were short handed so that at least there’s an excuse for a bad odor and I’d get less complaints up front. I think he eventually transferred there full time after I left. I heard he won an award for Team member of the year for the store which I thought was hilarious because not only did he stink, he was rather terrible at his job too. I was told he one the award because he was so willing to cross train in other departments, but the reality was no one wanted him stinking up their department so they’d ship him to whoever was short. Hope he eventually sorted his life out and discovered the magic of soap and water since then.
