i don't see what the problem is with the cashier knowing. sucks that she sounded rude about it though.

Yeah, that was my point, maybe they know, so what? I pay cash , load up the station wagon and drive away. They don't know where I live after all.

Last time i went out i guess i asked for to many things [real exotic stuff like perlite LOL]
Older hippy chick called me out good, i just laughed it off really. She called me a "fussy little tomatoe grower" And then she said " I bet you pay cash don't ya son", "Yes maam yes i do ,Thank you for your help and have a good day, I replied.

I mean, we're some mid 20-something guys. Clean cut give or take. And we hadn't even smoked pre-store run so the lingering smell is out of the question.

So I speak up saying, "What does that even mean? There are 300 people over there buying gardening materials from your garden center." and "I'm completely insulted".

I have this very very strong anger towards this girl at this point. I thought about asking for a manager and explaining the harassment that this girl just spat out of her mouth but I didn't want to make a scene because let's face it - she was right.

But it's like going to the grocery store, buying peanut butter and jelly and going to pay for it "SERIOUSLY GUYS. Peanut butter, jelly and bread? I know what you're up to. I'm on to you.".

haahaaaa...thats great.....i was in wal mart buying 20 gallons of distilled water(was on rollback

) and some little fans...the girl checking me out with the rasta colored earings looked at me and smiled and said mmmm hmmm...but i paid cash(like you should always do but especcially if you are making outlandish purchases)and went along my way...also...maybe next time leave the other 2 guys in the car and do your shopping alone...3 20 something kids buying pots and soil.....but no seeds kind of raises suspicions......as far as the girl....just smile give her the cash and tell her to have a blessed day.....being a smart ass to another smart ass only causes more smart asses running around

My buddy walked into home depot and purchased fluorescent tubes, chains, pots, and soil. Self checkout of course. No questions asked.

Not to be racist, but it helps a ton if you look a little Hispanic/Mexican. My mother was Spanish, so when I slick my hair back and grow out the sides of my mustache a bit, I can pull it off. You can buy whatever gardening stuff you want, whenever, and no one questions you. They think you run a landscaping/yard work business like so many other immigrants. I did it once just for fun, but found shopping for stuff a way different experience, so I do it whenever I want to buy something that a civil looking white guy would look sketchy buying.

i was looking behind the counter at a convenient store when all of a sudden the older lady that worked there says "We dont sell zig zags." I walked out...

she knew what i was looking for, my eyes were most likely red, but i did sorta feel offended.

WTF? She was COMPLETELY out of line making any comment about your purchase whatsoever! I absolutely would have demanded to speak to a manager..... that bitch needs to be put in her place and told by her BOSS to collect the money and keep her fucking trap shut!
