This article doesn’t pass the sniff test....
Ok, bad attempt at humor, but I agree with you. I understand what it’s like to have instant allergic reactions to fragrances. But c’mon. When it became a problem at work, I had my cubicle moved. When shopping, I avoid stores that smell of scented products. At Christmas, the woman at the top of the escalator with an atomizer of perfume scares me silly. But it’s my issue to deal with - and I do. Do I have a disability? No. This new law is stupid.

LOL
In Texas, the women are pretty and smell good. And they’re nice.
In Detroit, the first two aren’t an option, and the third is an impossibility.
Somehow that just proves something is right in the world...
One person complaining can change an entire city???
Like hating Christmas?
BTW I was there when the woman who hated Christmas in my town was screaming about it ......
However, I do reserve my right of free speech to tell you that you smell like a cheap whore, & your odor makes my eyes water. If that doesn't work, perhaps I'll get some eau-de-turd & wear it until everyone’s nose bleeds.
Part of the reason these laws take hold is that people have so little respect for others.
Years ago, while attending a seminar in NY, some attendees & I went out for dinner. The restaurant seemed nice, & it had a dance floor & DJ in another part of the building. Midway thru dinner the DJ got started & the place filled with punk rockers who absolutely stunk. I asked the waitress what the foul odor was, & she said the punks like to wear deer urine as cologne. She also warned us not to dance, as the punks will throw the urine on us, too.
Just the other day, I pigged out at Wendys, & my wallet still smells like Lady Gaga from the change I received back on my twenty.
Part of personal responsibility is not being offensive to others. Unfortunately, personal responsibility is sorely lacking in our society. If someone’s appearance or odor is disruptive in the workplace, I say the boss is free to tell the offender to remedy the situation, or find another job. If the boss wants to make some rules regarding this, I have no problem with it.
OTOH, if an employee constantly whines about work conditions that offend no one else, then that employee needs to find another job.
But we don't need any more stinking laws!

Well it’s a product for people of limited income. You get it for a buck.
I read of a study years ago which determined that the human brain only recognizes a scent for 20 seconds and then ignores it. I have found it to be true. However, if you leave the scented area and then return you will have to endure it another 20 seconds.
Anyone working around an employee for an extended period would not be bothered by the odor continuously.
No, I commuted to a job in Philadelphia awhile back.
