There's this young chick who's a semi-regular in my bar. Comes in every weekend and normally lasts the whole night. She's in her early twenties, about an OOT 7, and a generally all round nice young woman. Apart from the tiny little problem regarding her body odour.

The fact is that she smells bad. How bad? Well from behind the bar it's like getting hit with a baseball bat across the nasal zone. If she's sitting at the bar and I'm working, I need to stay out of a five foot zone around her person.

Nobody says anything to her because, well this is the problem. How do you say something? I want her to fix her personal hygine more for herself than for me. I feel bad for her. I feel bad for me too having to work with her there, but I feel more bad for her. I think...

So how do I tell her without completely alienating her from my bar? I live in a small mountain valley. It's important to keep the regulars happy. Even if they do smell to high heaven.
