Should I check it out or no?

So the other night I was driving home after work on my usual route. I pass this small gardening place and I see on the sign it says:
"We cut keys! 20% off all Herbs"
I shit you not those were the words on the sign. Now, here's my question: Do I check it out or stay away?
Part of me wants to go inside to inquire about said herbs. But the other parts is screamin PIGS ARE IN THERE!!
What do you guys think?

they probably deal with bulk herbs, like the effin sign says. You know, like lavender, calendula, mints, yada yada......
Maybe some hippie in there has a joint?

I just recently read of a garden center getting busted with a grow op. You never know. The part about cutting keys just doesn't make sense, as that's usually associated with powdered drugs like coke, but who knows. Stop in and at least see what's up in there, there's nothing illegal about walking into the store.

K thats fine I knew theres shitloads of herbs but Im pretty sure nothing related to plants that you CUT is called a KEY. Also, working in retail i can tell you that no business cuts prices on an entire classification of shit. it would never say 20% off Herbs. itd say something like 20% off all Burpee seeds, or Crapola Plants. not "herbs".
EDIT: damn i type slow. yeah SuperD thats what had me doin the double-take. i was like, "What? They cut keys? Wtf?"
Ima head in there today and ask which herbs are marked down. Who knows

if you dealt with bulk herbs cutting keys would make sense. Most whole sale herb farms sell only in bulk. This sign says that they will break down keys so that a person can by a pound or some ounces.
Selling food and herbs is just like dealing drugs, minus the heat.

I thought it to meant that they'll make copies of car keys or house keys or whatnot... but that's just me, I could be completely wrong

This is a SMALL gardening place like I mentioned earlier. VERY SMALL. It has a "perking lot" (dirt) that can fit 4-5 cars. Its on a lot that looks like its for a small house..... Dont know if that changes anything but i doubt theyre dealing with kilos of legit herbs.
edit: spelling pArking
EDIT 2: And even if they did have an actual key-cutting machine in back, would the price of the cut be worth advertising on theyre tiny ass sign? I dont think it would boost sales enough for them to put it on theyre sign. But like its been said: Its not illegal to check it out, so if i happen to get an extra special suprise when i go later today ill let ya know

why would a TINY gardening shop make keys? It makes no sense and on top of that it makes no money. This shop probably gets so little business to begin with buying a key cutting machine would be a bitch and a half.

lol That's why you walk in, acting like you didn't read the sign 
Look around, if it doesn't interest you Walk out...
If their is weed or something of that sort
Just walk away buddy
