Good Hygiene Means Staying Employed

The cardinal rule for being a good doorman is being friendly, cheerful, perhaps a good conversationalist. Yet, this guy took the wrong approach when preparing for work.

Good morning. What? Why are you running away? I'm just trying to talk to you. Why do you keep flinching? Hello!?!?

As if the warnings of your parents and the dentists weren't enough, always brush your teeth in the morning. The doorman was sent home for having bad breath. He did decide to stop eating garlic (How much of it was he eating before?!?) and use mouthwash and take breath mints. Maybe he was taking garlic breath mints. Or maybe someone switched out his mints for those Harry Potter jelly beans , and he was eating an odd assortment of disgusting taste sensations. Now, seriously though, I'm curious. How bad was his breath? I mean, doesn't the doorman sit behind a desk or at least not within close proximity to you when you come and go from a building? Was it so powerful that people could smell it from across the lobby? I'm imagining someone with breath hitting from afar. You'd think people would be able to see a visible trace of something that bad. Where will he end up next? Perhaps radio DJ, where he can be in a booth without company? Working from home? Could it really be that bad? Poor guy. So many questions....so few answers...
