I came home the other day after a shift and kept smelling the syrup for hours, made me nauseous and not want to eat. It isn’t a regular occurrence for me so I don’t really have any suggestions :( just wanted you to know you’re not alone

I have this exact issue! I barely eat lunch and constantly drink water.

I’ve heard most people say they’ve gained weight since they started working but for me it’s actually been the opposite. I just feel gross all the time 😖

I’ve felt that too, being around all the smells of the foods and syrups/coffees is nauseating. Ruins my appetite.

i have this kind of problem on warming. whenever (usually my AM shifts) i get a lot of the breakfast sandwiches, especially the SE&C, the burnt-ish smell of the grease (gristle??) that comes off it sticks in my sinuses the WHOLE DAY. makes my stomach feel ick.

I get super nauseous on warming, especially making anything with eggs. The egg bites have made me gag a couple times

Since we are all still wearing masks, I suggest getting a thicker mask and spraying some mint in there or just chew gum. Its what i do and it helps.

bring some vaseline or essential oils to put on the top of your lip so that that’s what you smell, not the food around you

That might be anxiety? I get super low blood pressure on cash to the point where I feel faint. I assume it’s also anxiety….

YUP. The kale egg bites, sugar cookie syrup, and Irish cream syrup make me so incredibly nauseous. Sometimes even the smell of a fresh bag of espresso beans, esp decaf 🤢

A few of my coworkers have complained about the same thing but I haven't been affected by it much because I wear a new disposable n95 each day so I can't smell anything through it.
