The Flower Shop - Ahwatukee (Med/Rec)
2/4/2018
Been shopping here for about a year. I want to start by saying they have some of the best flower I've seen around and aren't jerks enough to charge 20 bucks a gram for it although 17 is still too much. Now the concentrates are quality (sky concentrates specifically) as in THC content quality. They are often mislabeled and they seem to have an inability to make shatter. They label sugar wax as shatter, batter as crumble, failed wax and shatter as "sap". or derp sauce. Its lazy for them to not learn how to properly finish the product and just roll the dice and call it what they think it looks like which is usually wrong lol. I know its not the employees because its marked wrong on the originally packaging as well. Beyond the mislabel, the supply and strains are always bad. Strains are usually hybrid on top of hybrid, on top of hybrid, no joke. The supply issue is they don't have half grams most the time only 1 grams and nothing else. The price is bad as well, they have the 2 tier thing going which is usually a terrible idea, and the prices are high. We should be around 30 a gram instead they are sporting about 50 a gram, which is overpriced especially since its house made. Now service has tanked terribly since they switched from Sunflower to Sky and replaced all but 1 staff member. The kids in there are nice, but just not too good at their jobs. I've been overcharged twice now (reason for finally reviewing) and undercharged significantly once (all in the last 2 months). Now don't want to look gift horse in the mouth but its not that difficult to ring people up accurately with discounts for full grams!..... or even have some product knowledge. The product knowledge is not there, they can BS the new elderly customers but to us that are on their 3 rd+ renewal its sad. Wait time is usually short but can be so random at times due to employee negligence and chatty customers. I've waited 10 minutes for 3 people in front of me and I've also waited 35 minutes with 2 people ahead of me. I believe this is due to lack of staff mostly. Just remember, I would buy stuff from a guy in a beard who's 50 if the price is right, he's nice and has knowledge, but the 20 something kids, and "cute" girls are just random business missteps that make it more difficult to shop. I'm considering not coming back and just biting the bullet and driving a little further to save stress and money.
