It is really nice to see such an overwhelming response to this thread considering it is of major importance to a great number of bees. If the swarm were to put as much or if not more effort into security rather then profit, he/she can help to minimize the risk associated with pill acquisition, their hobby and theoretical livelihood.
Swis is against farming out pill acquisition to runners as well. He only knows what he will say if thrown in the interrogation box. He has multiple felony convictions and appreciates the fact that he can bring harm to no one but himself. Like phlegm said before; Can a bee even begin to imagine what would happen if a car full of tweekers/runners were to get jammed up with a trunk full of boxes? The pigs would have one of them call you up on the phone (like nothing ever happened) to have you pick them up and they would be eagerly awaiting your demise. Then of course, a secondary search would follow at an undisclosed location.
It is cheaper and he doesn't have to share proceeds with idiots who have a tendency to return with the wrong brand and type of pseudo. This can get costly and become more of a liability.
Runners are straight-up, "un-fucking-reliable"... You know who you are!
The one box rule he will have to disagree with. Gotta get em while you can because if you don't as we all know here at the hive, some one else will. There is no guarantee they will bee there when you return.
There are pros and cons to this. One con is that after awhile, regardless of how many different stores, chains, pharmacies are visited in order to get the job done, clerks will start to recognize your face. "Excuse me sir but weren't you just in here yesterday?"
Swim has tried to grab two boxes pay at one register, shove them down pants, grab two more and then pay at a different one. Doesn't work good at all. The idiot that spends his day behind the video monitor will radio up to the register, not much they can do except simply deny purchase. Beeware of state law as well! Buying 4 boxes in Swis' state during one store visit is a violation of store policy, not state law. The only response at that point is, "Can't blame a man for trying right."
When the 24 gs of theoretical pseudo is reached and one still has more shopping to do, it is best to drop these off somewhere before the journey is continued. We all know as US bees, we are not allowed to bee in possession of more then 24 gs of pseudo right? Store policy is one thing, federal law is another.
Wearing a Slayer shirt or motorcycle club shirt proclaiming affiliation or association is another NO GO.
Bringing 1 trustworthy friend is not out of line, hitting every store in a particular pharmacy chain in one day IS!
Hit the stores where one knows they will be available on the shelf. Hit 4 or 5 stores and then quit for the day. Do not steal and never give inspector gadget an opportunity to call ahead to the other stores to bee on the look out for yellow and black winged creatures. Borrow a (legal) car, park at a neighboring business. Pharmacy techs with pen and clip board do not like to leave their safety zone. The safety zone is the parking lot of their work place. Bee elusive/ Bee unpredictable/ Bee safe.
