I would grab a piece of gum and offer him some, he wouldn't take it. It got to the point that nobody was willing to train him. Hopefully it was taken as a life lesson.

We had one of those also, and to make things worse, his last name was Colon...........

Ridding the shop of such vermin is de-stinktly welcome!

Sweat on clean skin doesn't stink. As others have mentioned, it's when someone doesn't bathe for an extended period of time that the bacteria gets a chance to multiply and you get the noxious odors happening.

I use mineral salts for the most part but rely on cleanliness to keep most of the smells away...

Not much worse in the world of smells than smelling someone's BO. Ugh...

I am vegetarian, retired, and clean so the mineral salts work well for me. Occasional zinc salts help if the chafing starts. I still have to be really careful about my teeth and breath to avoid offense. Lick the back of ones own hand and sniff to check for malodorous exhalations.
