Paranoid Newbie

So I have a small grow. Today I purchased some growing and storage supplies, under six items, from our local big box retail store. The items could be considered suspicious when purchased together. What's the odds of the female white middle aged manager reporting me to the authorities?

You paid in cash? Then absolutely none.

What if it was on a CC? What could they do?

Honestly you are worrying WAY too much. If you were really that paranoid I assumed you wouldn't put it on a CC and just tried to comfort you with that reply. That lady who checked you out forgot about you and what you bought before you go out of the store. She see hundreds of your purchases each week. Relax and smoke a bowl, you will forget all about it!

BleedsGreen, I agree, I'm being very paranoid. The store was really busy today and I could sense her anxiety. I think that's what made me paranoid. She probably did think that my purchase was a little weird. Which gets me thinking about what she could potential do. Are purchases considered private? Would she be breaking a law for reporting my purchases and giving my name? I know most retail companies don't like their employees accusing customers of anything. That's a huge liability. Accuse the wrong person and that's a lot of money wrapped up in legal fees and PR damage control. Do retail companies train their employees to report suspicious purchases? Personally I doubt it. Do 99% of employee's care what someone else that they don't know is potentially doing? No.

What about Brick and Mortar grow stores? Do they report people? What percent of customers are growing Cannabis vs. other crops? I know this isn't a new topic but I've haven't read any unearthing opinions about the subject.

The authorities are WAY too busy with all the other shit going on in this world to take the word of a Home Depot cashier...that YOU bought a bunch of stuff that could be percieved as supplies to grow marajuana. You're not that important...and I dont mean that in a mean way...but you aren't...neither am I or 99 percent of people on this site. Unless your growing 25 plants out of your apartment and selling out your door by the pound...relax. They dont have the finances or the manpower to worry about you and me...they just dont. Their are much bigger fish to fry =)...keep it simple and keep it to yourself...and you will never need to worry...good luck...

Mate we are their bread and butter, if they report their customer they'll be out of business in no time!!! I'd say that 99% of peoples that go there grow weed, your normal gardener go to the gardening centre not hydro/grow shop....do you know a lot of guys willing to invest £650 to £1000 to grow 10 plants of tomatoes or basil?? stop being to paranoid and enjoy growing mate

I ordered 15 boxes of 20 nitrous oxide cylinders and 2 metal things that break them open - I don't think they care you bought a timer at the same time you bought dirt.

NONE if you were that large or a concern you would not be purchasing lights at HD

I already have your IP address narrowed down. Would you like me to tell you where you're at?

Consider everything suspicious.

Just chill out the fuck out dude. I went in to ace hardware the other day and just told the lady "Look I'm growing pot, do you have any sticks to prop them up?". She just smiled, took me to the aisle, and asked if I could bring back a sample.

We all try to cover our tracks as best as possible but luck also plays part of not getting caught. Every situation can't be controlled and we all will slip-up eventually.

Do most of you purchase online or local?

For the people that purchase online; Aren't you worried about CC records and IP tracking?

What the hell is the matter with you? Are you on those bath salts or something? Or is the town you're from so small that buying stuff counts in the crime report?
