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.

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?

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.

I totally agree!

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
