Ever called out when buying supplies?

Myself and 2 friends were at lowes yesterday buying 4 packs of soil and 30-40 pots. Mothers day gifts, right?

When we got to the counter the girl working was on the phone so we put everything down and waited. She started ringing it up still while on the phone and when she finally hangs up she announces, "Come on guys! It's really obvious what you are up to.".

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.".

dont sweat the small stuff...

I was in home depot buying supplies when these guys walked past and said she's gotta be growing.

and I don't really look like a stoner chick.

What you say to the cashier is " I see you took a day job, good for you. You can't gobble knob's all your life" then as you walk out turn around and say "you are good, I'll give you that".....or ask if the sores have cleared up yet ?

alright thats just funny
but fuck preparing answers and getting sketched man lowes cant do shit your just growing a garden

Yeah same thing happened to me at Lowes I was going thru self check out, which imo is a little easier, but an older lady looks at my items and was like "doing some gardening today, huh". Y yes I am, but she was'nt going there with it, just makin general coversation....But I totally get ya

haha that is funny shit. I've never been called on anything but I'm sure I've raised a few eyerows occassionally when buying bags of soil and pesticides with a foot of snow on the ground.

i got called out making a beer bong. i was buy the clear tubing, the flange, and the valve . i was like hell ya im make a beer bong...lol

Just tell her to "eat shit"

or you could say to her: "What are you, HIGH or something?"

tomatoes? give me a break. when someone says "i'm growing tomatoes" the FIRST thing i think of is pot. you'd be better off just admitting it. "fuck yeah i'm growing trees bitch. gonna own this place by christmas."

hahahahaha

I went to the local hydroponics store the other day for the first time. I asked the girl that was working there a bunch of questions about the waterfarm module. Eventually she asked what i was gonna be growing in it, and my response was "ummm, i don't know, anything.." after that she gave me a pretty weird look and then said "right.., i shouldn't have asked that question..." then there was like a 30 second awkward silence. i thought it was pretty funny. she called me out sooo bad, though.

The stoner doth protest too much, methinks. Getting anger and acting insulated only made you look guilty. Had you requested a manager, he/she would have thought the exact same thing.

You could have said: We volunteer at our church. We're going to be planting flowers with a group of kids for Mothers Day.

Nice burn.REP+.

Similar experience happened to me in B&Q (diy store in UK) me and my mate were buying bong making equipment, plastic tubing and containers that sorta stuff and the woman at the counter said "i know what your up to"!! with a knowing smile! we just giggled and slowly moved over to a nearby vending machine....

What a bitch... she has no right.

well as long as you paid in cash you're good to go... I've seen people buy truckloads of potting mix before no one said anything to them

its not a big deal when people ask you, just have a easy back up story so you dont look like an idiot. I always just tell people i am growing mint leaves, aloe veras ect for gifts for people. And if you ever get called out by someone dont smile, or smirk or anything to make it obvious, remember the first rule to growing is dont tell anyone. And it was good that you didnt call out a manager, keep a low profile.
