You Don't Carry What? For Why? Really? REALLY?

Hypothesis: LEO's have relationships with Wal-Mart, Home Depot, etc.
wherein suspicious purchases get reported. The perps thought a beauty
supply shop would be under the radar and unlikely to report the purchase.
(But they were wrong in this instance.)

From what I've seen of the checkers at Walmart, they aren't "aware"
enough to notice *any* strange purchase. Granted, maybe the computers
do, but I've already paid VIA cash and am 5 blocks away before the FBI
gets there.

Smart criminals would buy 3-4 bottles at a time from different stores.
It's minor inconvenience in the grand scheme of things :-)

Apparently a local decision by the store or chain management. I regularly
use ammonia for cleaning tasks so made a point after reading this to look
when I went shopping today. Here (St. Louis suburb), you can get all the
ammonia you want; readily available in three varieties (clear, sudsy and
lemony fresh) in gallon containers on a bottom shelf in the laundry aisle.

No, I don't, but it is my vague impression that peroxide used for
hair bleach is much stronger than the grocery/pharmacy version.

I checked after I posted. Hair peroxide is 3-8%. My bottle is 6%,
bought at a grocery store with a drug section.

My grandpa's recipe for Kielbasa called for one teaspoon of salt peter
for 25 pounds of meat. I used to have a jar of it years ago but not
anymore. I tried to get some years ago through the local druggist, but
he never got it, always had some kind of excuse... I just throw a bit of
extra salt in now but it's not the same. My feeling has always been, if
he used it in conjunction with the salt already in the recipe, there
must be a reason...

Maybe more than one lifetime. That's a huge amount for seasonal
preserving. I take it you put one of those little packets of silica gel
in the jar when you resealed it. Otherwise next year it'll probably be
rock hard.
