uuggghhhh
So we went on our weekly shopping trip to Albertson's tonight, usually I don't really mind but last week they had cinnamon pinecones under their heating vents, and sure enough they were still there today. Now this isn't a problem for most people but you see when cinnamon is strong in the air my lungs and throat tend to become very, very tight resulting in wheezing and coughing and usually itchy skin!! I don't think I'm really a minority of people that can't handle strong smells in the air so why don't companies and people get this!?!?!?! Its not uncommon for me to have to leave rooms at church or other places because of smells... come on people be respectful of those around you. I understand they are trying to advertise that they have these but is it necessary to place them under a heating vent... right where everyone has to walk to get into your store!! GGRRR.... lucky we had the guys with us or they could have seen a not so nice side of Emily!

While I don't have the same problem with cinnamon, I totally agree with the strong fragrances. My personal least-favorite is opening a magazine and they've put a perfume sample in there and suddenly I'm coughing and throwing the magazine across the room. In choir we used to be lectured on no perfumes, lotions, scented hair sprays, or even strong deodorants. You should let Albertson's know that you have allergies and to put out products like that aggravates the situation. It might help.
I really like the smell of those pine cones but I completely understand how it would bother you. My dad has the same problem with strong smells. He is so allergic that his nose gets all itchy and his eyes water so it can definately be annoying when they put it right under the vent.
