C........3

I’ve been coming here almost 3 years. (Medical) The staff is usually very friendly and helpful. Today was the first time I had come into the store since recreational has become available as my husband normally picks up what I need, but as I was having a “good day,” I went in myself. Oh boy- what changes have been made! It was nice to see everyone wearing their masks correctly, and most People were practicing social distancing. They are also keeping my go-to’s in stock for the most part. Lots of new staff to keep up with the recreational side of the business, as well as staff allowing me to skip the line as I was the only medical customer present at the time. Those are the good points. Now for the not so good. That parking lot...oh my! I didn’t think it could possibly get any worse, but I was wrong! But even that is not anything that would stop me from shopping at Maribis. It’s the noise. Or should I say music. It hits you as soon as you enter the waiting room. And it is loud. I must say it was good music, but very loud. And once you enter the store itself, it just continues. It used to be that if you asked/explained that you have a neurological disease, they would apologize and turn it down/off. Not today. I explained that I was a medical patient and the loudness was starting to bring on a flare. I was told that I was the only one who has ever complained about the music, and then she just shrugged her shoulders. Really? I’m the only one? I could see that if I was the only medical patient frequenting this dispensary, but surely that is not the case? I love music. But I can no longer listen to loud music. And this was apparently loud enough to set my head and involuntary movements off for the rest of the day. I don’t want to be “that person,” but if you’re going to sell to medical patients, maybe you ought to be a little more understanding of their needs. Or at least try to fake concern a little better. I am now going to have to try the other dispensary in the hopes that it is more considerate of medical patients needs. Which is unfortunate as the staff here has normally been very understanding.
