The answer to this can be found in Act V Scene 1. Basically what Romeo does is he tells the apothecary "you are so poor, you really need to sell this stuff to me so you will not starve."
That is why Romeo picks this particular apothecary to buy the poison from. He looks around to find an apothecary who looks like he is really poor and does not have much luck selling stuff to people.
He tells the apothecary that he can see that the guy is terribly poor and hungry. That's why the man is willing to sell.
