So it is okay to call people rude, say they do not care, and they have no manners, but it is not okay to comment on a fragrance?

 

     Outloud? No,it really is not ok. Why hurt someone's feelings? It's not like they were handcuffed to the lady or in a car on a long ride. It was rude,and showed no class. A store employee should know better.  I don't know why people now days feel they should say whatever they think. I probably would have said something to the store manager.

I have asthma, so these strong scents, or the massive over-application of same, people wear a lot these days really takes me down.

 

That said, however, I have never said anything.  While offensive for sure, I don't think offense is meant by people wearing these strong scents.  But it is offensive to make snide remarks.   It's not always easy, but geez - they could have taken the high road, or whispered among themselves!

 

 


@chickenbuttLike you, I have allergies.  I just move.  It's not a bother.

Talk about them behind their back, so that way we have good manners?

Re: Rudeness In Stores Not Caring About Customers!

There is a woman I always run into at the grocery store and over sprays herself constantly with her deceased mother's perfume and really awful to be around.  But, I never said anything until one day she had just the right amount on and I loved it.  On that day I told her that her perfume smelled fabulous and that it was exactly the right amount. I also mentioned that I always spray and walk into my perfume.  She smiled and thanked me.

I would never go up to an elderly woman in a grocery store and tell her her perfume stinks. That's the height of rudeness. I can't believe some here are saying they would do that instead of talking behind her back.

  • This seems a case of two rudes don't make a right. Both the perfume wearer, whose only thought was to please her grandaughter and zero regard for offending the noses of others, and those who commented on her offence. None of the three were considerate, all lacked mannrs.

I'm 68 and at this time of my life I would have said to the checker "You are being very rude and unkind, do you know that?" or something similar. But that's just me. I don't normally do that UNLESS I see someone being verbally abused or treated badly.

Very rude. Terrible manners. A person can think what they like.....but to say something like that to hurt someone in listening distance is just wrong. Shame on those two.

I would have said I hope nobody talks like that about your grandmothers
