A comic book store in Iowa is having issues with smelly customers and they’re doing something about it.
There is a stereotype about comic book fans, perpetrated by the media, by movies, by TV shows that they’re socially awkward, not the best at social cues, and sometimes quite smelly.It is true enough, at least, that one comic book store has had to institute a “smell policy” to try to improve the atmospheric conditions inside its space.
“Please wash your bodies with proper soap and shampoo, in addition to wearing clean clothes in the store,” the policy reads. “As much as we may like you, we cannot have your smell interrupt our business. If we receive a complaint or smell you ourselves we reserve the right to ask you to leave and refuse business.”I worked for several years in a comic book store in New Jersey way back when. To my relief, I must admit, we generally did not have a major issue with smelly customers.
Based on what I can see on their website and social media, Mayhem Comics looks like a great store. If you live in Ames , you should definitely check them out. Just make sure you put on some deodorant first.
