Whenever I go to JoAnns I literally have to hold my breath to walk in the doors due to the extreme scent of some items that they have in their entrance. This time of year it is the cinnamon scented pinecones. On Monday I was there with my Mother and we both ended up with a severe headache due to the overwhelming scent of the pinecones. They were located in an entrance that has outer doors and a set of inner doors. Every time the inner doors opened the smell came inside the store. As soon as I got into the store, my sinuses were plugged or running and my eyes were watering. A few minutes later the headache started.

I guess that I'm ranting now, but could someone explain to me how the over powering scent of perfumes and such are so much different from the smell of smoke to people with allergies??? Personnaly I am allergic to perfumes, dyes and such so I avoid anything like that but then am subjected to it when I enter JoAnns!!! Then the fabrics that they carry smell like it too!!!

Getting down off the "soap box" now... :oops: Thank you for letting me rant/vent about this. :oops: Was just wondering if anyone else has this problem.
