I work at a high dollar fine dining resturaunt. There is another young lady there who had horrible breath. This is such a problem that her guests have even complained to members of management. What do we do? I don’t want to hurt her feelings?

lol just tell her – buy the girl some mouthwash. If anything, she should be glad people told her so she doesn’t make any more of a fool out of herself!

Offer her mint gum. I did that once. She didn’t even notice. I just pulled the gum out and shoved one in my mouth. Then it’s always polite to offer someone the gum after you get one. I don’t think she’ll/he’ll notice!

You must talk to her and tell her, it is worse to do nothing. She absolutely cannot have dragon breath in public and offend diners that is disgusting. She needs to keep strong mints in her pocket at all times and brush her teeth and sue mouthwash, preferably Listerine.

Management should actually take care of that if the young lady in question is a worker at the restaurant. It is up to them to deal with these issues.

if you are a concerned citizen, you need to have the courage to tell that person honestly. i know that truth will always hurt in so many cases. you need to think about this, people with bad breath do not usually notice that they have foul mouth right under their nose. they also need to rely on others honesty, concern, kindness and help.
you can have a private conversation with that person and tell her in a nice way about your concerns. and this will save her from future embarrassment. you can also suggest that he should get to the dentist.
recommend proper oral hygiene or you can offer her nicely a bottle of good all natural care product that can help fight the cause of bad breath.
