World of Weed - Tacoma

I’ve been coming to WOW for a while now. The products are always decent as well as the deals. Today I had a really uncomfortable encounter. I went inside to go and purchase my weed, and first off, I hear 2 workers (a black girl with long hair and a flamboyant white guy with a facial piercing) just kind of saying inappropriate things about some “white b*tch” and the girl kept saying several times LOUDLY that she was ready to get the “f*ck out of there.” I don’t think any of this was aimed at me (I’m tribal) but that was really uncomfortable. I asked the guy about some oil you guys had by altered state and asked his opinion and the response I got was “I don’t smoke that cheap shit.” And that put a bad taste in my mouth. The quality of product is good, but the budtenders definitely don’t make it a friendly atmosphere.

I just visited for my first time today. Being a cancer survivor I have plenty of experience with marijuana. The staff that assisted me was nice but once I got home and opened my product I immediately noticed it was stale... After further investigation I noticed a harvest date on the package from October of 2016! I called and talked with the manager and was told that it was normal and I can't bring it back for exchange or get a refund.

World of Weed does have some of the best deals in Tacoma. I will drive out of my way from Seattle to stock up. The servers are usually friendly and informative but the past few times made me rethink where I spend my money from here on out. One server by the name of Mia(?) has some of the worst customer service. Last time I was barely greeted, and while I browsed the case I overheard this worker make racial remarks and laughing about a woman's appearance when she walked out of the building. DOES SHE THINK WE CAN NOT HEAR? She seemed more interested in blabbing with her co workers making fun of people. After I make a decision she scoffed at me for wanting to see some cheaper eighths and snatched my money. I felt disrespected and rushed out the door. I will spend the extra few bucks somewhere closer to home from now on if it means being treated better. Management should reconsider who they want representing their company. At least act like you enjoy your job.

I came in the other day and I hate saying this, but you guys have some of the RUDEST people working for you now. I come in and no one says hi, welcome, nothing. It felt like I was annoying them by walking into the shop. I get it. You’re bored. But sheesh! Sometimes the wall isn’t up to date and I asked the girl that and she responded “what you see is what we have” but some things that were in the case weren’t on the wall and vice versa? Asking which joints are flower or shake was a struggle enough, and getting a loud ass sign in response wasn’t the best. I asked for pesticide free joints, get to my car and at the bottom of the label for the Creekside joints there are pesticides labeled even though she said there were none. Your weed is good, but I HATE coming in when the morning crew is working. I feel so uncomfortable and would rather come in the evening (even though the location is awful! Crazy people hang out right outside the property line and there’s always issues going on across the street. I’ve mentioned it before and have been told every time a version of “oh well.”) Your employees need some training on how to treat people and not be jerks!

I was a regular customer for over a yr and I took the advice of the bud tender on a expensive pipe, followed instruct per bud tender and it didn't work at all! I was over charged on two different specials that the bud tender pushed me to buy by saying theses are on all special for this cost and charged me regular price! This has happened 2 times on past visits so I called about the pricing and I was told I couldn't open the packages I already did reason I bought them and I would have to return with unopened packages to get my money back that they stabbed me on! I go back in 2 days later to discuss this expensive pipe and the lady tells me well I can give you 10% off another one but that's all! I asked for the Owners info to discuss this further and was verbally given a email address that no one answers but once in a blue moon! I asked multiple times for info for manager or owner and got nothing! Since other managers have left recently I have seen a huge difference in the way this place is ran! It's all about the $$$$$$$ not about servicing customers building customer retention and being a strong upstanding business in our community! There is way too many shops to chose from to treat people like this! You got me for 150 bucks, it won't ever happen again! I had to leave at least 1 star I feel it should be 5 negative stars! Only good thing about this place is the hours it's open and security is always nice!

Mia is such a patient & excellent budtender! I love this place because of the staff & great quality!

Loved this shop! When I first walked in I felt like I was in a bakery, but the dessert here was...WEED! They had such great prices that fit any sort of budget. I had options when it came to cheap dabs ($10 gram), cartridges or a cheap eighth ($10 bucks!). I also didn't feel like I was being rushed when I was being helped. The budtender took her time with me and made sure I was happy with every decision I made. I would definitely come back here again. If you want to try a great grower, try Blue Roots! They have by far the tastiest and best weed I've ever had. I've found most of Blue Roots eighths at this shop, but I haven't had as much luck finding that much selection from that grower in many other locations. My new go to spot! Thank you for WOWing me!

I have been going to WOW for awhile now. I go in once or twice a week and always have a friendly bud tender. My favorite being Sam, always happy to see me and never rushing me out the door. Everyone there is really knowledgeable too.

As someone coming from out of state I was not sure what to expect but Mia was so helpful. She answered all of our elementary questions and got us exactly what we wanted! It was also nice to see black folks working at World of Weed since historically they have been overly put into prison for marijuana possession. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area!

This place always has the best deals and the most friendly service! Mia was super helpful :)

Kenny was awesome love the place

Love this place. Budtenders are knowledgeable and not pushy - they take the time to listen to your needs. I moved up here from an illegal state and didn’t know what kind of strain I wanted because that was never an option in my home state. I asked my Budtender to help me pick out some strains that help with anxiety and she pointed out 4 different strains and gave me some pointers from her own experience. This will always be my first stop for weed.

Friendly, helpful, not pushy.

Always have the best daily deal's.

One of my favorite shops! The rif-raf outside is the only downside.

I haven’t been in in a while but Mia is the WORST customer service rep I’ve ever met. I asked for a couple of choices since the first 1/8 she showed me looked shakey so I asked for a few more to look at and it felt like pulling teeth! I only got $2 back in change and was going to use it for a wrap and apologized and she scoffed at me saying in the nastiest voice ever “IT’S OKAY” and once I started leaving she stomped off the floor. Sorry sometimes people can’t tip but now I don’t even want to bother coming back!

First time in this establishment and it was a great experience. Kristi was very friendly, didn't rush me, took time to actually talk instead of just pushing a sale. Will definitely be back!

Robin always makes us feel like we are important and treats is great. She remembers our names and what we like. Greatly appreciated!

This was my first time in here today and I was very impressed. Great parking, helpful and knowledgeable staff and amazing prices and selection. Nikole was able to immediately direct me in the right direction for a refill cartridge fitting the battery for my vape pen. I've already recommended this place to my friends and I will definitely be back.

Charity is so helpful and knowledgeable!! I will definitely be back to visit!

Always the best service, Jacob!

Love this location! I always return for their amazing $15 eighths and $49 half ounces AND they are carrying EXOTIXZ FINALLY!!!!!!! Thanks Charity!

After hearing the grandiose claims about this place, I decided to give it a go. Since 3 stars would be the baseline for an average marijuana distribution planet, this place meets or exceeds expectations. To begin, the quality of the bud gave very good indication that it was in fact marijuana (weed, to the layman). The taxes added to the price was also indicative that what I was purchasing was marijuana. The reason it only got 4/5 stars is because the receipt printed was about 6 feet long for only a couple items and as much as I derive pleasure from the proper accounting of expenditures, I found it cumbersome to file multiple instances of the documents in my 2017 tax folder. Next up is service, which scores perfectly. This score was granted because upon multiple visits, I found that the budtenders were top notch both in giving recommendations and fulfilling orders. The weakest grading would be in the atmosphere because upon entry, consumers are forced to walk down a wheelchair ramp and face their own crippling handicap of addiction to good customer service, reasonably priced marijuana, and excessively long documentation of their purchase. Overall, World of Weed has taken the act of purchasing marijuana and created a store that captures the emotion of my money going up in smoke.

I have been to many stores around the Puget Sound, and this is hands-down the best one that I've seen both in terms of service, knowledgeable staff, and top shelf product! Best shop in western Washington!
