what are some of these clubs I should start vending in LA i used to in sf and oakland but theystarted low ballin 2800 would be great..
I was offered my asking of 3500 for the last bow I brought in, as they didnt haggle I probably could have gotten a little bit more.
All was well till they told me I'd get paid next week, I was pretty stoked, told them Id be back... with the smoke. That didnt go over well. I arrived at the set time, set date with the set weight. The "Donation manager" (I shit you not) was off that day and no envelope for me.
Went to a normal cash, on the spot and VERY happy to see me spot. 15 minutes later I was in Costco buying steaks.
I got kicked out of a club once. He demanded consignment, I explained I dont front, he goes off that this is how business is done etc... I walked. On the way out of his office, patients were looking like they heard it all so I handed out nugs and told them what club they could find more. Not a happy owner.
Thought I would share something that happened last week at a collective/co-op(Van nuys/North Hills area) I went to, and at one time did some growing for until the management changed...
I was waiting in the Lounge area, and heard two guys who's voices started slowly getting louder. One was a grower who was asking for his money/donation. Said "he had only gotten $1000.00 of the 1800.00 he was owed. It had been 7 weeks and they kept giving him the runaround." He asked "to speak to the manager/owner by name(the guy that use to run the place)", and was told(by a voice with a heavy accent that was not understandable at some times) "he wasn't there, but would be back the next day or perhaps in 2 days." Which the Grower replied, "You've been saying that for 6 weeks".."I just want my 800, and I wont bother or deal with you again"..."I will even take 500. If you just give it to me today. So I wont have to "F" with you guys again"...To which the co-op guy replied "We dont owe you anything. Your stuff is gone. Get the "f" out"..The grower paused for a few seconds, and walked out of the back room into the lounge. At which point I got to leave as well..When I got outside I turned to him and said "Wow, the really Fing sucked. Sorry they are treating you that way"...He then said " yea but what can I do? If they wont pay my for the product that I gave them, and they already sold it..thats it, Im screwed"..
Of course I am paraphrasing most of this, but you get the point..Just another fun aspect of being a grower...
Perhaps we need a thread that reports all the co-ops/collectives, and dispensaries that are less then reputable. If they rip off growers then we need to do what we can to help that place fail. If they cant get product they cant stay open. If the places around them have better products at better prices they will slowly hemorrhage money, and go out of business.
Something like this...
Gspot(Van Nuys/North Hills)..Ripped of Grower for product($800.00as in above post)...November/2012
CMAC(Van Nuys)..Ripped of Grower(s) for product($6800.00*)....Dec.2012-January2013
Blue Banana(Reseda)...Changed out product for lesser quality, and then rejected it, refused responsibility..June 2010
...* This one is mine. Just a few weeks after posting about it happening to another grower(and being disgusted by it), it happened to me. I have a written contract, and text message contract with them, and they still did it. Talking to a lawyer(Contract Litigation) on Monday. Heard they did this to 3 other growers. The amount is just mine..
lol.. I think this is one way Unions start
I agree a thread like that is a great idea...thats a great idea.
