Was a budtender here for less than 2 weeks (after all the other budtenders RIGHTFULLY walked out before 420). I was fired for saying I couldn’t work this Sunday (Mothers Day). I was texting my manager saying I wouldn’t be in town and so I couldn’t work, she threatened my job, I tried to stand my ground, no response for 2 hours and then I get a text saying they’re looping in HR and an email saying I’m FIRED. LMAO. I’ve never missed a shift. Went above and beyond to try and get the store back in order since the other employees were fired/quit.
Bakery shut down because everyone quit/was fired up in Kalispell. Production was fired and/or quit over the weekend. Absolutely no new product. It might look like all smiles from the new budtenders but the state is in there every other week. There are countless violations to Montana state cannabis laws and regulations. Employees don’t wear or have badges. Witnessed the state come in on Monday and the manager was freaking out trying to get an employee to leave because they didn’t have their badge (this employee was a manager too) and the state was checking everyone’s badges. Not to mention the countless amounts of product that’s moved out of the store with incorrect metric tags or NO TAGS AT ALL??? One of my first shifts, another employee told me with the last inspection, the state found over 100 violations. Senior employees were telling me to sell mislabeled/unlabled product if I could “find one the same price or the correct name”. For example, entire bags of eighths (100+) were labeled as single prerolls of a completely different strain.
I could go on forever but fuck this store. No wonder everyone quit. My first day gave me bad vibes. The management lies to its employees and there’s absolutely no structure. Watched peoples tills be short hundreds, watched cannabis laws violated, was TOLD to do things which would violate cannabis laws. Bro it’s fucked. Run. God bless the old employees. They made the right choice. I hope they are all happy and finding peace with the situation. 2 weeks did my head in, I couldn’t imagine how they’re feeling with the whiplash that is Flower Dispensary.
PSA: Great Falls store is owned and managed by the SAME PEOPLE. Don’t support this company. They’re all for profit and pay their employees dogshit hourly. Every single product in that store (other than the suckers) costs more than we are paid hourly. Think about that. The store moves thousands in product a day.
Anyways, I hope you all have a wonderful, stupendous day unless your name is Bobby or Raven😚 Yikes. I would be embarrassed lmao
