Store Employees Turn Away Free Money

As you may have heard by now, on Saturday Fusion on South Street got the best delivery ever: A five gallon drum of marjiuana — California marijuana at that! Not some cheap shwag. (I just had to look up “shwag” to see if it had a ‘c’ in it. It does not.)

6 ABC got a big ol’ exclusive report on Saturday about the marijuana delivery. You think this would get the people who work at Fusion in trouble for doing this, but — get this! — they called the police. It would be like if a free $90,000 showed up at your house and you decided to turn it into the police. And then — and then! — another giant barrel of MJ showed up at the place, from a different delivery company, and they called the cops again.

So, basically, that’s $180 grand down the drain, almost enough to buy a pair of jeans at Fusion. And all because… they wanted to get on TV? They think marijuana, a drug less dangerous than aspirin, is evil? They wanted to do their civic duty? To be honest, I have no idea. But I can think of several actions that would result in a net profit of thousands of dollars after getting randomly, anonymously shipped a bucket full o’ marijuana.

Then again, maybe there were three buckets of marijuana. Oh, that would be a devious plan indeed.

Buckets of Pot Mailed to Upscale Store [6 ABC]

    Seriously, would you actually try to unload that stuff on the street or, more likely, in bulk to mid-level distributors? You wouldn’t think somebody would come around looking for their shit, and for you?

    OK, even though i know many people including myself who smoke mj, if something like that arrived at my doorstep i would def call the police. What if it was a set up? What if the intended reciever of the package tracked me down and wanted to kill me for stealin their stuff and money. When dealing with this kind of stuff in Philly, u need to be careful. So i don’t blame them

    I also though it was “swag” not “shwag.” Huh.

    Oh, of course, you guys are right. You’d sort of have to call the cops (unless, I guess, you know it was coming). Then again, why would someone be setting you up? Nothing against the people who work at Fusion, but I don’t think they’re high on the list of “random people we’re trying to get for drug possession” the government has, if it even has such a list.

    Anyway, what I’m trying to say is: An article saying “Boy, they should have called the police, good call” is much less fun than one saying “Ha ha, you idiots lost out on $90 grand,” even though the second one isn’t serious.

    Dear D-Mac, you’re a real piece of work. To assume just because of the nature of clothing that we sell that we are all drug dealing no brain potheads is not only defamatory to our companies reputation, but makes you sound like you have some sort of personal vengeance toward the logical decision that we did make. Perhaps there is something you would like to tell us?
    We are a company dedicated to bringing designer fashion to the Philadelphia community, not a company dedicated to ticking off idiots like you, although we did get a good kick out of your 3rd grade writing competency.
    Just for the record, D-Mac, our jeans don’t cost $180,000; perhaps if you got off your fat ass and came into the store to meet the lovely people I am privileged to work with, you would see things a bit different. Our jeans (ranging from $99-$350) are expensive because they have a great fit, unlike the tiny insignificant excuse for a brain that flops around in your big head.

    Ok People,
    you must be crazy….
    If we did keep it the chances of somebody coming and asking for it would be very high.
    And I am sure this person would not look like tooth ferry!
    Besides what would we do with this much grass?
    We are in the business to sell jeans not drugs.
    Well could of split it, but came on how much can you smoke :) Just kidding :)
