I just had to come here and vent about what happened to me today
Not sure who the people that work at golden meds in Montbello think they are but the "service" or lack thereof, was it for me!
Every time I try to give this place a chance since they've expanded into their new space, my experiences have gotten worse and worse but occasionally the product is pretty good so begrudgingly I kept returning.
They all seem miserable af to work there, and cherry pick who they choose to provide halfway decent service to.
And then they treat you as though you're soooo beneath them because they work with weed and have some stupid badge!..............BIG WHOOP! ****NEWS FLASH***** The industry isn't what it's cracked up to be and there's certainly NO MONEY * NO PERKS * in it unless you're the owner (or in with the owner) so they all need to calm down and come down off their funky little high horses because I ain't just anybody, and I'm pretty sure that I live better than all of em while they tryin to minimize somebody!
Anyway, I asked if they had any of my preferred type, and the lackluster, "high" seeming budtender girl just pointed at jars at the bottom inside the case and expected me to choose from there without even checking it out.
So I asked her to bring them out so I could inspect them. Well, you've thought that I asked her to harvest it and trim it! She sighed all loud and brought out the jar and pretty much slammed it on the counter. Then she brought out another jar saying it was also my preferred type but I noticed on the jar that it wasn't. It was "hybrid" and she said it was the same as my type, but it wasn't, plus it was more expensive.
Again....I digress.............So I started to request the amount of the shake that I wanted, saying "I'd like a sample of........ before she rudely interrupted me, fussin & sayin; "oh we don't do samples!" "you gotta buy it!" I said, "I'm asking for what I'm choosing to spend, not a free sample!"
I asked for $25 of shake but she refused. Saying that "they don't do that!"
So, I asked "you all don't work with the customer at all?" And then the little skinny, sick lookin dude workin with her, he was either lead or the mgr. came and chimed in, backing her up and telling me "no!" that the system wouldn't let you break it down like that or some bs!
Instead of him correcting her, they together wouldn't accommodate me! Told me I had to buy $35 worth (their OTD price) or nothing!
And to boot, the shake was rag weed that looked like trash with tons of stems in it!
When I commented on that, the little (stank attitude) chick budtender told me "yeah, shake is gonna be stemmy". I guess I must look like Boo Boo the Fool to her
First of all, that's bs! I don't know who th she thought she was talking to! I'm a connoisseur from the 70's and been smokin everyday since then, probably older than her mama!
Second of all, I've dabbled in working in the industry and don't know who could've possibly told her such a ludicrous thing! And even more ridiculous that she'd repeat it to a customer thinking they wouldn't know any better!!
Third of all, I normally go to MAGIC CITY just up the street, about a mile south just past I-70 off Peoria, but thought, "hey, let me switch it up today and go to golden meds, I haven't gone there in a minute". TERRIBLE IDEA!!!!!!!
Money ain't a thang for me to cap out several dispensaries in a day, however, I choose to tread lightly, then dive in if it's fire! That's how I do, if you know what I mean. So, I said "thanks" and WALKED RIGHT TF OUT!
Well I've been going to GM long enough to know that they used to accommodate the customer with whatever they wanted to spend. When did things change to not giving the customer what they ask for?
But all of that to simply say........I'm never ever going back to those hood drug dealers style golden meds in Montbello because that's what they are. DEFINITELY NOT A DISPENSARY! Not spending my hard earned money to be treated mediocre when I can be treated with respect like I deserve!
I ended up going to MAGIC CITY (my preferred dispensary, the deals can't be beat) with my $25 and they were more than accommodating! They also know me because I spend big $$$ there at MAGIC CITY. But the great thing was, they had shake that was testing 35% vs. GM whose stemmy, rag, trash shake was only testing 23% at best so.......... THANKS GOLDEN MEDS FOR THE AWFUL EXPERIENCE BECAUSE MAGIC CITY WHERE I ALWAYS GO/AND SHOULDA GONE TO IN THE FIRST PLACE WAS GREAT! CUSTOMER SERVICE IS ALWAYS AWSOME @ MAGIC CITY AND THEY DON'T MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE CRAP IF YOU DON'T SPEND WHAT THEY TRY TO BULLY YOU INTO SPENDING LIKE golden meds DOES!
And, "no" I don't have any affiliations with MAGIC CITY, I'm just a happy customer there.
Golden Meds in Montbello sucks, avoid the hood dispensary in the hood! read more
