P........K

I placed an order on Dutchie, but the store was out of the indica strain I'd requested. I promptly received a friendly call from Green Oasis, and a female budtender kindly recommended a replacement indica, the Angelica strain. When I picked it up, however, it turned out to be the Zamaldelica strain, a heady sativa new to me. I did not realize this inadvertent swap until I got home. I'll certainly give the Zamaldelica a try, but it was not the sort of strain I sought. More concerning to me, however, is that one of the budtenders in the store was not wearing a mask (this is the SE Tacoma location). I highly doubt he had a medical condition justifying this as he was initially out on a (tobacco) vaping break. In contrast, all customers while I was there did wear masks. The employee also did not observe social distance (for me to enter, he had to check my ID, which I extended as far as my arm could reach, but then he would not clear a path/space for me to enter the store without coming into his direct proximity). For me, given the option of other dispensaries where mask wearing is not only the law but also enforced, I'll take my business elsewhere at least until the current health crisis is resolved. I have had nothing but positive experiences at Green Oasis prior to this, so I will return but, again, not until I feel confident that all employees, service employees effectively on the front lines of this health crisis, wear masks. And yes, I could and probably should have simply left upon seeing the employee without the mask, but I did not act fast enough, a deer in the headlights.
