Hahahaha, that's happened to me so many times and all I do is laugh and tell him or her to prove it. They always smile back and it just ends with that.
A dude in Home Depot showed me where I could find some good Grow Lights too, and I didn't even ask. He told me off the rip that he was a cultivator just because he seen what I was buying I was buying the best of the best shit of course. ~.^

Rehearsing for Home Depot. employees? Not me. I have never been "called out" at a home improvement store, and if I ever was, I would tell them to mind their own fucking business. I always pay for all my grow supplies in cash, if they are going to hassle me i'll take my dollars elsewhere.
Not to mention just about every person I have seen working in the garden center at the stores here is just about brain dead, and the last thing they are worried about is me growing.
Just my 2 cents.

what a coincidence, just got back from the hydroshop literally 20 minutes ago. same deal. i said to the cashier, i need the red and the blue envirolites.
let me paint a picture for you. the guy at the register is the pinnacle of all that is hippy.
greatful dead t shirt, those rope "jesus" sandals, long hair, unkempt beard.
he knew. ohh he knew.
on my way out he said,"with those lights, you'll have the worlds most potent tomatoes without killing your power bill"
SSOOOOO this leads me to believe that "tomato" is code for pot in every growing language. roflmao.

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

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.
