Bud Hut - Maple Valley
6/26/2017
I was thrilled to see MV get a bud shop and looked forward to supporting it. Admittedly, I was kind of taken aback at the flea market feel of the shop. It feels like each counter is a different seller and not collectively a store. There is always a large selection and plenty of employees. However, out of the several local shops, Budhut is the only one who does not stand behind the products it sells. Not only that, but the employees don't tell you there is a no exchange policy for bum products and there is nothing on either their bags or their receipts that say anything either. And it sound like your answer lies in the luck of the draw... who is the manager on duty. Hopefully, others at least have a manager that will come out and speak with you instead of just telling the employee to tell the customer, "no." I will definitely be showing up at local city meetings to get them to approve another shop and hopefully this one will care about their customers and not treat them as though they are disposable. Again, I was so excited to support a local shop, but will still be driving to Covington, Auburn, and Renton rather than dealing with a shop who is done as soon as they take your cash.
