For some reason, drugs and Tide theft/scams go hand in hand in a lot of areas. Like, straight-up trading stolen Tide for drugs sometimes. Though if your dealer is a whiny baby who insists on bring paid in cash, you can attempt to return the Tide, but that's risky since they might have you on camera stealing it in the first place, so you got to do the ol' Tide switcheroo.

Buy Tide and the cheapest, most generic detergent there is, like Xtra or Purex. Dump the Tide into an empty container, dump the Purex into the Tide container, then return the "Tide" for profit. Only like $8 or $10 profit, but do it a few times at a few different stores and even after subtracting gas money or bus fair you can make enough for a few days worth of your drug of choice easily.

The store across from my apartment has the name brand detergent and shampoo in locked cases to prevent this. You have to find an employee to come unlock it for you.


edit: This reminds me of the water bottle scam. In the summer, people will dig empty water bottles out of the trash can and fill them up in a public place. They put them in a rolling cooler with ice and sell them in tourist areas. Always check the seal on a bottle of water before drinking it.
