I as a customer an hour ago had a long conversation with a friend I made behind the counter. Some software engineers do partake of the weed. So yeah I’ve met them. Tattoos, piercings? They’re just people. Getting high isn’t a sign of larceny

I didn’t say it was. I just said employee theft is a bigger problem than robbery.

  > you can imagine who works at them You might want to be more careful then. This empty space is a well known rhetorical device used to allude that you're making a negative judgement about people.

    What it meant was, if you work at a place with all the cash controls of a casino, you have to be stoned to steal petty cash from them. You’re going to get caught, and you’re going to get a felony over a small amount of money. Nobody sober does that. It was not meant as “all stoners are thieves” but as “you’d have to be high to think that’s a good idea”. And since nearly everyone who works at a dispensary is high all day every day, it happens, a lot more than armed robbery which almost never does.

      This is like a tour of logical fallacies. How about some data?

        I don’t think there is much data to be had, at least public. But I can tell you in the 5 years my brother has been there, they have had zero armed robbery attempts, and several employee theft attempts. And a quick Google about whether dispensaries get robbed frequently will show you people from the industry saying the same thing. But no, no data, only anecdotes. Still, I feel like only somebody who has never been in a dispensary would think they are attractive robbery target. I’ve been in them and maybe 10 states, and they are all pretty tight Security, because they know they have a lot of cash and people would like to steal it.

      Don’t bully people for smoking a plant. Easy.

        Why? Society doesn’t owe you acceptance for your personal choices. For the vast majority of people, smoking marijuana is an anti-social choice that makes them a less productive member of society. Why should anyone have something other than a negative opinion of such a choice?

        Judging people is wrong. This isn't a controversial statement.

        "Wrong" is a judgment. Why are you judging people for judging people?
        kelseyfrog 2y ago
        If you're arguing that judging people is ok, I think you could do a better job than tu quoque.

        "You judged someone on a separate occasion, so you can't object to judging people now" would be tu quoque. What I actually did was point out the internal contradiction in your stated position.
