This isn’t vandalism. This is terrorism.

As someone working security for a central wa PUD, good luck getting bean counters to give us money to be proactive. Nobody ever thinks it will happen here until it does.

You know who doesn’t get robbed? WSA State because they will come after the dispensary for the tax their owned. It’s like getting spit roasted but not in a good way.

Yep, we live in a society. They aren't showing they want to get along so I have no issues with a send them away for good.

Have you checked the tide tables to see if the smell correlates to low tide? In some places exposed tidelands have a definite bouquet at low tide.

Helpful hint: lose the "the" before road numbers. It sounds Californian. Say "101" or "U.S. 101."

Hope these domestic terrorists are arrested asap and jailed for life

The trees were coming right for him!

Oh cool another thing my boss lied to me about.

This is false. https://www.king5.com/amp/article/news/crime/cannabis-shops-private-security-robberies-washington/281-75cff82c-d0dc-420a-8138-e7cc8ea8cfab

Might just be low tide. Also you are close enough to Budd Bay, which is polluted and stinks to high hell at low tide.

You can actually use a variety of systems not tied to banks to pay with credit card, and I'm pretty sure people would be willing to pay an extra 50 cents to 1 dollar per transaction to cover it. There are a few markets in the area that use this with a tablet card reader and a wifi connection.

The online pay method most of them use likely has the option available, so it's not impossible just a bit more expensive. The federal change is needed for many reasons, but this one can be circumvented.

It’s actually 4 substations that have been terrorized.

Yet restaurant are going no cash.

This can be done in WA as well. The novel tree in Bellevue has card readers. Some workaround where the card reader processes like an ATM

Paid with a credit card in San Francisco earlier this year.

For lots of people it’s a deer in the road that doesn’t move and then your car ends up in the ditch or the trees. Or a moose if in Canada.

Do they give some amount of cash back?

If so it’s cause it’s an ATM transaction. It’s a nice loophole but not 100% a card transaction.

So if cannabis was regulated like tomatoes you think these scenarios would still exist?

There you go. I had a similar accident when I hadn’t been driving very long, definitely a learning experience. Good news is that you weren’t injured.

A lot of the dispensaries and the industry don’t know that there are some state chartered banks that will allow regular banking and treasury management services for the industry.

The banks need to get better at marketing these services and the industry needs to educate themselves more about using the services.

Um am I the only one who wonders if putin is sponsoring this crap in hopes of keeping the USA occupied

Well I've heard people say that everything always happens for a reason... I guess this event made me realize that I need to drive more carefully, especially at night. Car accidents can be deadly, so I will appreciate that I've smartened up now and potentially dodged a tragic future.
