GROSS! - tanTALK

I just had a customer get sick right outside of her room. Talk about priorities...She said she had a stomache virus and thought tanning would make her feel better. Even worse? Yes, it does. She apologized and left....her mess for me to clean up. This is the highlight of my week, I promise!

Doesn't the virus stay airborne? I hope I do not get sick or any clients.

Neon Beach · 01-05-2005, 07:36 PM

Probably not too much air involved with that one.

LOL!! Ewwww....I guess you are right. Well, it might not have been from the virus, but I thought I was going to get sick while cleaning it. And some of my customers were like..."Yuck, what's that smell??" Right after she had gotten sick. Luckily Mr. Clean Antibacterial was close by. When they heard her say she had a stomache virus they stayed after she left to gripe about how horrible they thought it was that she had come to tan and expose everyone. It's funny because about 3 of them had tanned with the flu a little over a month ago, and it had really knocked them on their booties. I guess people pick and choose what they want people to be exposed to or what they themselves want to be exposed to. Heehee. People crack me up.

Thats gross..I would have thrown up trying to clean it up...she should have stayed and picked it up. I could never just leave without offering to clean it up myself...pig!

I agree. I would have been so embarrassed, I couldn't have let someone else clean up what just came out of my body. I wouldn't be able to show my face again! It is nasty, and this morning (now that I am not so tired) it kinda ticks me off. But oh well...New day.

What a way to start the morning.

LOL! Ramcat that is too funny!

There is no way I would have let her out the door...I would have said "hold on just a sec & let me get the cleaning stuff for you."
UGH! I don't care how bad she felt she would be cleaning it up....that membership fee is not worth cleaning up someone else's puke! What an idiot to go out & tan when she's that sick.
