The Herb Room - Santa Cruz, CA | Dispensaire de cannabis

Incredible selection of natural supplements for health and well-being. Also, local art and various spiritual items. Friendly helpful staff.

This is regarding the Herb Room. I love this place, it's too bad that it doesn't love me. The owner has followed me around the store every time I come in by myself. My last experience there was quite traumatic. I walked in at the same time as some other customers; when I got through the door, the woman at the counter singled me out and asked me, "what are you doing here?" Or something along those lines. I was taken aback because she didn't ask that question to the other customers (who all had a certain skin tone different from mine), she just asked me that in an antagonistic manner. I embarrassingly answered, "I'm here to buy dental floss." then grabbed my dental floss and paid, despite wanting to look at other supplements. I was going to leave this alone, but it's stuck in my mind that such a wonderful store can have people working there with a huge prejudice against people who look like me. I honestly hope they can fix this. I am a paying customer who has never stolen anything from this establishment and I expect to be treated as such.
