I used to work demo tables at a convention every year, as the company would pay for people’s convention costs in exchange for 14 hours of volunteer work over the course of 5 days.
I decided after the first year that I would be volunteering my time overnight, instead of during the day. They ran after-hours games until 2am, and I usually stayed until 4am to run some more. We usually had about 100-150 people at 10pm, dwindling to about 20 by 4am.
By the end of the night, the temperatures inside are around 60, and nobody is sweating. It’s fantastic.
I also decided to start getting dollar store deodorants, the little travel size ones, and leaving them out with some baby wipes with a sign that says something along the lines of “NO JUDGEMENT, EVERYONE FORGETS SOME TIMES, TAKE ONE” With a little picture of “wipe pits, apply deodorant” underneath.
Every year, about half the deodorants have been claimed.
Sure it’s like $20 extra if I get things on sale, but it’s a small price to pay for not having to smell Convention Stank.
And when my job is literally to walk around a big circle of 10-30 people, most of whom have been walking around since before noon in a hot dealer hall, walking through a wall of “Cool Breeze” is so much less unpleasant than BO.
How much do you wanna bet that the majority of the deodorant was taken by people already wearing deodorant or those who already have their hygiene handled?
