I've not visited Bloom before. Its always empty when I drive by it. I did see a post in one of the MO MJ subreddits the other day saying that the day Rec went live, Bloom decided to stop offering reward points for purchases, including going so far as to lock and not honor the active reward balances on customer's wallets that had been building points via previous purchases. I'm not certain if that is 'true' or not (the person posting was livid), but if so, I don't want to support a business that would act in that manner.

I think I have seen that service offered from Route 66 before, but I do not know if they still offer it now since Rec has gone live. I remember considering doing it in the past but talked myself out of it when I realized the cost. Think Grubhub/Doordash price markups, on your already highly taxed purchase. I didn't think it was worth the cost at the time. Perhaps I should reconsider it, now?

Let's be real for a second.

  1. Businesses are a cash grab. Thays all they are. That is WHY they exist. That isn't to say there aren't benevolent owners with good intentions in the world; but the PURPOSE of a business, any business, is to maximize profit.

  2. The med card thing is joke. I thought I got scammed. It was a single zoom call, I paid with a card by phone and then they connected me. LITERALLY from the time we I teoduced ourselves to the time the phone call was over, 58 seconds. Not an exaggeration.

He asked what ailments I had, I had a paper I had typed out for reference, I said I get headaches, he cut me off "medicinal marijuana has been shown to treat headaches, I think we can sign off on this"

Of the 12 people I know with med cards, probably 2...MAYBE 3.... use it for legitimate reasons; everyone else viewed it as a weed tax.

I haven't seen it in person, because I haven't been since it went rec, but I've heard they sell med at bit of discount than rec...same product, different pricing.

If thats true, from a business perspective, doesn't make sense to give up extra revenue while also potentially alienating (what is expected to be) the bulk of your customer base.
