You're throwing all nuance out the window. The premise is allowed to have any rule they want.

The difference is OP sounds like they did not have their phone out. If they don't see there is a phone, how do they know you have a phone on your person's vs in your car? At that point it's plausible deniability.

However OP had airpod in their ear hanging out for all to see. It becomes a fact that you can't deny.

Now I disagree with this being a HIPAA violation with the small piece of HIPAA I have to comply with from an IT side of things. But that doesn't mean the dispensary can't have a policy that says no listening devices as a way to cover their asses.

You are absolutely right they can make what ever crazy rules they want. It's the reason they gave that's absolutely BS. If the guy at the door was just like "no airpods, store rule" then yeah its just a silly rule and that's the end of it. It's when people start over thinking it and trying to guess crazy reasons for the rule that it gets ridiculous.

I would also argue that most people don't leave their phones in the car and bring them with them when walking into a dispensery. Only because why would you leave your phone in the car, that's odd.
