Idk where yall live, but literally noone would question me for buying these things. I've bought bulk amounts of caustic soda (~3kg) and the cashier didn't even ask me why I needed so much.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

You are definitely on a list somewhere.

[–] Sparky@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 hours ago

Ye om on a watch list, so I'll go and collect my watch tomorrow :)

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 7 points 21 hours ago

No ones ever questioned me about it.

[–] Trilobite@lemm.ee 3 points 19 hours ago

You have to get a few bags of lime with the order

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wrong. You can also do that before a snow storm.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

It's kind of a honorary cold hurricane.

At Harbor Freight, “Want some zip ties with that?”

[–] teamevil@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

Yeah but every time you get the feet zip tied the wrist one breaks like it's a vaudeville act. Harbor Freight is for amateurs, or folks smart with their money.

This is why you pay with cash at multiple different hardware stores, or - and this is the most effective - simply make sure you're prepared from the start, acquiring each of these as you need them normally and regularly restocking the consumables, meaning you're always ready to hide a body.

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 18 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Two rules:

1: two is one, one is none.

B- always have a spare.

Anything you consider absolutely essential for something, you should have 3 on hand.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 1 day ago

I like to mix and match my lists as well.

Like chikdren and spouses!

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 21 hours ago

Chikdren? Sounds delicious.

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I feel like paying with cash is getting suspicious these days. I have gone to several cities in the past few years where they have said cash is no longer accepted. I hated it, but sadly, I think that's going to be everywhere eventually.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Stealing from unlocked sheds it is, then

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago

You can walk onto any large construction site with the right clothes and just pick up anything left unattended.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Garage sales and estate sales. With proper planning the estate sales will be self sustaining.

[–] The_v@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I carry all of them in my truck at all times.

Then there is my machete and a bunch of knives.

Aka work tools.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

When I worked at Lowe’s, I can say it definitely wasn’t suspicious at all when dudes bought chest freezers with crisp $100 bills.

[–] bi_tux@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I get it, but what is the rope for?

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

Plan B if the storm destroys your home.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

Entertainment

You'll find out.

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Thanks to self-checkout, no one ever questions anything. Thank God.

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

My home depot now has self checkout in an open area with a few “cashiers” standing by to “assist”.

It’s like you’re checking out on a game show.

[–] Frog@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Walter White says to buy things at different places. Seems less suspicious.

[–] paysrenttobirds@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I feel like with so many cameras they will still find you and it will be more suspicious, but I guess it depends if they can tie you to the victim in some other way.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Shop at local mom & pop stores that have no security cameras. No cameras and you're supporting the local economy instead of big corpo interests.

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago

The small stores I go to have more cameras, no blindspots.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Or just plan ahead a little and get the shovel and tarp from garage sales. Whoe doesn't have some duct tape and rope lying around?

Bunch of amateurs.

[–] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That is why you travel by foot/public transit from a good distance away, covered up, and without a cell. Arrive at the back of the lot where the day workers congregate and make the offer for more cash than what the purchase costs to an individual to go inside and purchase some items. Ideally, you'll want to spread these purchases across multiple jurisdictions, days (or more), wearing different coverings, and mixing in nondescript items with the purchases. If the first individual refuses, leave and make an attempt elsewhere, don't make this memorable.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 1 day ago

You know, this seems like a lot of work, I think I'll just confess

[–] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's revealing that I immediately assumed this was a suicide joke instead of a murder joke

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (3 children)

It would take quite a complex plan to roll up in the tarp, then tape that and bury yourself.

[–] Repelle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Yes, but that’s the cost of being considerate

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 1 day ago

The Russians can probably manage it they're an ingenious people apparently

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

It all starts with spinning yourself up to about 2500 rpm

Yeah, but, fuck Florida.
