Bloom City Club - Recreational
7/9/2024
Bloom City told me long ago that as a medical patient I would "never" be charged the 10% recreational (rec) excise tax on any purchase. NOT TRUE! On 8 July 2024 I purchased product priced at $60 per unit (with a sign!). This is the amount anyone walking in the door would pay. I WAS charged the 10% recreational excise tax. I have the receipt. The explanation given was that their system is unable to "stack" discounts and since the $60 advertised price (with signage) was actually mysteriously discounted from some other unknown amount they therefore could not give me both "discounts" because the listed price was already discounted although none of this is explained until purchase time. NEWS FLASH: My medical card provides an "EXEMPTION" to paying the recreational tax. THIS IS NOT A "DISCOUNT". I will be taking my business elsewhere and I suggest other medical patients do the same to avoid Bloom City’s duplicitous “bait and switch” tactics.
