It's always good to have diversity in the goods that you're peddling. Why sell just pot when you could sell pot AND batteries? And maybe a random left shoe with a hole in it? Perhaps expand and start providing a stack of McDonald's napkins for a dollar? He's trying to grow his business, Grey, and I - for one - applaud his entrepreneurial spirit!
Who knows? Maybe some day he'll open a line of Pot'n'Batteries shops that will sweep across the nation! That's how dreams are realized!
Next thing you know the public is gonna spin the legalization of pot into a "it hurts the little guys" controversy.
It will happen.

Markup on batteries is about 25-40% on average. The guy picked a good product to peddle if he got it at cost.
Wait, what are you doing in downtown Vancouver?? Have you been living here all this time? That comment just caught me off-guard almost as much as (years ago) finding out that LRR folks were based out of Victoria. Well, I suppose it's just neat.
OT: I've only had weed and "stories" (usually about some sort of deity or other) peddled to me in Vancouver. If I'm very lucky, I'll have some charitable organization spokesperson stop me on the street, be "nice" to me and then immediately try to guilt trip me into supporting them by giving them large sums of money each month.

What if there's a sudden shift in the market and suddenly batteries are the new weed? You gotta be ready.
The weed was likely balls in
The AAA shit were likely garbage
But what do I know, you are at the other end of the country. I'm in the maritimes...
And, admittedly, I don't smoke anything.
Just drink...
Pirate Rum...
But definitely not on Oak Island.
...
where it's still too cold for a proper buzz or high, and I know at least half of that, because I'm a rummy pirate wannabe who has no gold "doubloons" and hates snow.
In rural Nova Scotia.

Batteries are a pretty common stolen item. Small, relatively expensive, easy to nick off the rack and rarely well guarded.
Judging by how crestfallen he looks when Erin waves him off, I'd say those are video games and he's trying to find someone to play them with.Darth_Payn said:
Re: what weed guy was selling in the previous trip - those were tour brochures. He was literally selling 'adventures'.
Re: real-life Vancouver AAA-battery-and-pot package deal - perhaps those were for portable vaporizers?
