As a medical patient, I expect my process of buying my medicine to be stress-free. Today at Mayflower Allston was not that. Just renewed and called to ask what the qualifications were for using their new/renewing patient punch card (4x $50 off $100). The man on the phone told me I could use it with their $100 ounce deal, and even said “that would probably be the best time to use it”. So today, I planned to do just that, put the preorder in, and drove out of my way to Allston after work. I get there and the budtender tells me I can’t use it on the ounce and that the man on the phone gave me the wrong info. The manager came out and repeated the same thing. Absolutely no effort to correct the mistake, just that I was SOL. Unacceptable for someone buying medicine, but its still a business and I still need flower, so I stepped outside to try and figure out what to buy instead and came back in after about 5 minutes. When I went back in, the bud tender immediately started being combative towards me. I asked a question about where a certain preroll was from and he shrugged his shoulders and then repeated the brand name. When paying and using my debit card, their virtual pin pad had numbers all out of order. I asked why, while laughing, trying to ease the tension that for some reason had been there, and he responded with “damn, you have a question for everything”… nope, just about the product I’m about to buy to help with my medical condition. As someone who is using marijuana to treat anxiety, this was about the worst experience I could have had. When I stepped outside, I actually went to my car to do some breathing exercises before going back in, because I could feel my anxiety level rising. To go back in and be met with that type of attitude has me all out of sorts and I don’t know whether to cry or scream.
