Yes, of course we sell date rape drugs.
Background: I work in an adult entertainment store (sex toy shop)
So I'm working on Saturday night, it's ten minutes before closing and this man in his late twenties comes rushing in. I'm closest to the door, straightening up cards and he asks me for "poppers". Now, I had no idea what poppers were, so I figured I had misheard him as he had a strong accent. He asks again for poppers and becomes more and more agitated. I STILL have no clue what he wants so I bring him over to the register where my manager is doing some pre-closing stuff. I have the man repeat what he wants to her.
Me: your friendly vibrator and lubricant expert!
J: my fabulous manager
CG: creepy guy
Me: Okay, please repeat what you want.
CG: Poppers!
J: What?
CG: Poppers!
J: Sir, I don't know what that is. You'll have to be more specific. What is it for?
CG: *makes a gesture of waving something under his nose* You bring them to club to get girls.
J: Isn't that ILLEGAL?
CG: *laughs* Yeah.
J: Then no, we don't sell it.
CG: They sell it at the Stag Shop.
J: I doubt that.
He looks at the counter for a few seconds as if we're just testing him (Okay, you pass the test. Date rape drugs are aisle 3, next to the snuff films) then takes off.
I still have no idea what "poppers" are and so I ask my manager. She's clearly upset and tells me that it's a form of drug that some people use at clubs to knock people out and then rape them.
Why on earth would we sell that?
Edited: I have since been informed that poppers don't necessarily refer to date rape drugs, they can also be a recreational drug used for a momentary high. Thus, I've changed the SC's name to Creepy Guy instead of Rape Dude, since it's possible that he wasn't buying them for that purpose. However, everyone has said that using this product for recreational uses is illegal. Some places can get around this by marketing them under a different name. So, no, we don't sell illegal stuff and this guy is still an SC.
