So Jessie finally gets out of the house and cooks in the desert. He makes the blue meth and then offers it to a random girl for some gas. And a camera is right above the girl staring at his face. I mean, Jessie is a dumb guy, but this is just impossible. He is not that dumb. Why wouldn't he just call someone and exchange some of the product for some gas if he needs it. Am I missing something? Why would he do this? Who offers meth to random cashiers right after spending god know how much time in the desert making it?

Edit after reading the comments:
He gives his junkie pals the meth in the next episode and makes arrangements for them to start dealing again. So he can count on them for his business but not to bring him some gas money. Instead I am going to offer meth to this cashier. While the camera above her head is pointed directly in my face.

So smart enough to cook meth and arrange a network for dealing. But not smart enough not to offer meth to a kid in front of a camera, while having the whole product load in the RV outside. He is bad guy now.

Guys I get that he is supposed to be dumb and reckless and bad guy, but this is like he doesn't have anyone in the world to call. Like he doesn't have any other possible ideas of getting gas somehow. Its much tougher to form an idea to give meth to a kid in front of a camera than to ask someone for a call and give your friend the address for the gas station.

I thought I was literally missing something, and u guys are gonna tell me something I overlooked.

I like the show, I get the point of character transformation through absorption of trauma. These things just take me out. But the point is still there and the show is still doing a good job of getting the point across.
