    1. Yep. I think he got fucked up by suddenly being around all that gateway drug.
      That said, I knew some friends back in high school who broke into a pharmacy
      broke out some potent codine cough syrup base, chugged a bit and decided to chllax in the store for a minute or two. When the cops responded to the alarm, they were mush. We never let them live it down lol.

  1. They could put bulletproof Lexan across the whole counter area and just have a sliding opening, but that would cost money and clerks are expendable. No store owners ever do anything that costs anything to preserve the lives of clerks, because they just don’t care, it’s all money money, money, me, me, me.

    1. Obviously all he cares about is money & not the welcoming atmosphere of his business 🤷‍♂️

  2. I always feel like these stores should have a trap door on the floor so the floor can swallow them during an attempted robbery.

    1. … wut? That’s possibly the worst idea I’ve ever heard, wow that’s just…so you’re allowed to breed and vote?

    2. Lol have you seen those stores where an employee can activate measures that lock the guy IN the store.

  3. Honestly there is no reason to frost the windows anyways the weed is in bags that are frosted themselves lol. All you can see inside the store with your eyes are the pipes, bongs, rolling papers. the rest is behind the counter in sealed bags that you can’t see into anyways. This is no different that a smoke shop. If they do have displays with a nugget in it like the Government stores the maybe a top down view with no frontal glass.

  4. We all know that weed is not harmful or addictive and doesn’t lead to crime- just ask any of the thousands of homeless crapping on your sidewalk.

  5. “Dude like it was sooo crazy. That girl like ran in the back and like I wasn’t fast enough my dude. She had like Barry Allen speed dude. I couldn’t even like open the register n stuff.” – Robber to his buddies later.
