Oregon Cannabis Co Recreational - Albany, Oregon

Me P. A. M.

NOT welcoming at all- NOT the place for great service nor great products but they do have some cute merch.

I think that greeting your customers when they walk in the door has got to be one of the most simple and basic steps of running a store. It’s not hard. Greeting your customers as they walk in the door does not mean dropping what you’re doing and it does not mean anything other than acknowledging that you have customers that have walked into the store.

We were in the area yesterday and we stopped by Oregon Cannabis Co. It does have great visibility from the street and it’s a beautiful building but I wish we’d gone elsewhere.
Upon arriving at the building yesterday afternoon, close to 2pm, my friend and I were excited to see what the store had to offer.
There was a young woman up at the front desk, and she was talking to a man. My friend and I walked in we were smiling (we are both friendly people). The young, pretty employee and a male customer that she was talking to (who had already completed his purchase but was standing there talking to her) both looked at us.
Immediately, after looking at us, without even smiling back or anything, the two people look back at each other, and the guy says to the employee, “Anyway, how’s your sister?” The girl entertains this new conversation and starts talking about her sister with him while we just stood there. It was a blatant “what are you even doing here” kind of vibe. He was the only customer in the store besides us.

Then, a few minutes later, once they were finished talking about her sister and he left, then we were finally acknowledged as next in line, still the only customers there.

At this point I decided I was only going to buy one simple thing and nothing else because the vibe was SO OFF.

I bought one eight dollar pre-roll and it was trash.

Will I recommend this dispensary to anyone No.
Do I think that Management has failed by not giving employees sufficient training to be effective, well mannered salespersons, Yes.

If making sales is not the purpose of being at work, I really don’t know what the purpose is. If employees want to discuss their family members and how their sisters doing with inquiring men…. They could just give their customers their private phone number.
Anyway, I was not impressed with anything about the shop except that they had some really cute merchandise; and the building itself is beautiful.

It’s a shame not to be able to give a good review to a business that has so clearly poured lots of time and effort into its image. It’s a shame that after all of that work, it’s being poorly managed.

What could have been an $80 or $180 sale with the right salesperson, turned into a measly $8 sale. My pre-roll burnt, and it was actually just a complete waste of money.

This dispensary is not a good representation of the many, many wonderful Oregon dispensaries that usually have a fantastic bud tenders who are welcoming and friendly and knowledgeable about great products available in the PNW.

It will do in a bind but I would take my money elsewhere.

Date of visit: 2/29/24
Note: 11/22/24 Given the amount of activity 👀 on this review, I’m guessing things might still be the same over there, that’s unfortunate.

This is kind of weird. The owner DOES READ the reviews but has not acknowledged the elephant in the room and has obviously not taken any measures to correct it. This is definitely not the kind of business where I want to be spending my money.

Racist behavior is not being tolerated anymore. No more money for business owner to allow this kind of behavior and then expect us to just handover a cash. There are lots of other options.

I get treated better than my husband and I know why. But when certain employees are there and I go with my husband I also see the micro regressions. It’s shameful.
Do better!!!! It’s 2025

I usually don't write reviews, but wanted to share what a great experience it has been shopping at Oregon Cannabis. FYI - my wife is black and I am white, and we have NEVER been treated indifferent. Quite the opposite. Thank you. Keep it up!

As a long time customer, I love this albany dispensary! They are my go to for drops! I've been asking them about a new variety of drops i found at a competitor and they tell me that they are not going to bring it to their store. Which is a total bummer because the mango flavor and the effects are super helpful for me and sadly I have to go to salem for that instead of staying local. Please bring it to Oregon Cannabis 🙏

Bad customer service and they charge more than any other shop in town for the same product.

Dabs that are $10 or $15 down the street? cost $20 here. Same brand same strain.
The employees are off putting at best.
Stopping by reminded me of why I hadn’t been there in years.
