I was truthful and told him why I do this. The unit's detective even stopped by to chat with me and made it seem like he had been looking into me. He explained about all the bad things GCs can be used for and thats why excessive purchases raise red flags. He was fine with my explanation and assured me that since he has talked to me, I can continue without further harassment.

What a night....
That's crazy, sorry you had to go thru that!

Have you been back to that location yet?
