      Im not arguing about whether it is or isn’t. Im saying no sensible person thinks this is actually a solution and this is 100% a narcissism play.

          Ill tell you what it isn’t: This.

          Rude and demeaning text aimed at your customers absolutely does not help the problem.

          They could try a probably still bad approach of saying the rooms are warm and so people might want to pay more attention to this.

          They could have people just approach those who smell and point it out to them politely

          They could have better air exchange to mitigate the problem when not caught.

          There are so many options which arent this, because this simply does not work.

            The only way someone would be offended by this, is if they don’t wear deodorant and are aware of their own BO, but decided it’s actually a good thing that everyone can smell it.

            Wanting everyone to have a good time and not have to smell something horrible isn’t in any way narcissistic.

            Thinking it’s okay to make everyone else smell your own BO, absolutely is narcissistic.

              Not at all.

              If you are a regular person, it tells you that you are associated with this now.

              It means you don’t want to go to a place that is associated with this.

              Wanting everyone to have a good time and not have to smell something horrible isn’t in any way narcissistic.

              You pretending you don’t understand my point doesnt make your argument sound.

                As a regular person, if I saw this I would be glad they were saying something. I wouldn’t associate myself with it because I know that I bathe regularly and don’t smell like rancid asshole. I spent a lot of time the game store in my town when I was a kid and mfers that couldn’t wash properly were absolutely a problem.

                  You wouldn’t think that people seeing this sign, and then seeing you, would just assume you were one of the people affected by this sign? Or that the person who put the sign up was hostile towards their customers?

                  What of the myriad of other, actually effective methods to combat the problem, over this, a completely ineffective way?

                    If I was inside the store I would assume that people seeing me would know that I have passed the smell test and am therefore not part of the problem. The person that put up the sign is hostile towards stinky people and assholes, they’ve shown no ill-intent towards anyone else by posting this.

                    What of them? This is just doing the first step automatically. It’s the same concept as a no trespassing sign. By having it there they have already been given notice of the rules, and if they ignore it have no recourse when you escalate to kicking them out.

            How is it so rude and demeaning? It literally is just a warning sign that if someone doesn’t have a hygenic lifestyle they will be asked to leave.
