Depending on the area, there are plenty of homeless and criminals roaming the aisles of Walmart. Druggies don't particularly stand out.

Well, for those of you who don't want to sell syringes, this article will teach you how to get rid of those pesky customers. Just follow the counseling instructions and ask each and every purchaser "1) Will you talk me through how you inject? 2) What barriers prevent you from using safer injection procedures? 3) What strategies would you be willing to use? 4) What do you want/plan to do in case X occurs? 5) Can you identify the consequences that may occur if safe injection practices are not used? "......once the syringe purchaser realizes that you aren't going to sell syringes without getting detailed answers to these questions, the syringe purchaser will leave and never return (at least not when you are on duty!)

I only sell if they have an active rx for an injection.
