Bringing your own sticks to a B&M

[Cool Breeze]

Point being, I always buy something when I go.

What do you bums think? Do I have a legitimate gripe, or am I the one at fault?

Talk to them.
That policy is obviously aimed at people who just use the lounge as a nice place to smoke one. I certainly don't blame them for that.

But I think if you talk to them about paying for a couple of drinks or the fact that you're a regular who does in fact patronize the business regularly they would likely cut you some slack. I imagine you're not the kind of customer they're worried about.

I patronize my local B&M a couple of times a week and there are times I walk in with a stick or a pipe already lit. Even though I'm a regular, I never do that without making at least a small purchase. I'll at least pick up a $5 stick to take back home with me. They haven't said anything about it, I just think that's the right thing to do.

This is a day-to-day policy, so if you buy a box there you can't even bring those back the next day.

I think this part is going a bit overboard and I'd let them know that as well. If you're paying $150-$200 a box you certainly shouldn't be charged for bringing one back the next day. I'd call B.S. on that one.
