Owner was awful. Will never go back or will support this business again after 5 years. - Edit
I brought my elderly father to try kava for the first time and to show him a kava bar that is close to his house so he could get some kratom drinks to help with his back pain.
Read moreAs we were getting our drinks and I saw a promotional banner text being used by the bar that should not be used to promote kratom. It was a small blurb talking about how red vein kratom helps with pain management. Which under FDA regulation, you are not allowed to do as a kratom provider/ vendor/ bartender as you are making medical claims of a product not endorsed or regulated by the FDA. This issue could have been resolved by just removing the two lines or texts or even just ignoring my words and going about her day like we never spoke. But..... No that was not the case.
When the owner came to talk to me. First thing she said was "who am I to be questioning her marketing". (I have 15 years in the kratom industry.) And that is ok for her to make these claims as she is not providing medical advice and she is just a users. Also, that it is appropriate because Mac Haddow (current spokes person of the American Kratom Association) (the guy my best friend /business partner voted in to be the spokes person of the organization) says it is ok to do.
I said "well you may remember who I am as the former owner gave me kratom trees (that he reached out to me to donate)." She then remembered me and called me by my name. Retorting that I basically stole the trees because they were given without her permission. And that I owed her free cuttings.
Realizing that nothing positive was going to come out of continuing the conversation. I took my $30 in purchased goods and my fathers $20 in purchased goods and left the bar. While being shouted at as we left.
This isn't the fist time I have had a negative experience with this person as she has been rude every single time I have been in her business. My brother (who has also visited the place without me) has said similar things about her. I have never liked her but always wanted to be nice as I didn't take it too personally and could just be a miss understanding. After 5 years of visiting this place, never expecting anything for free, paying for my way, and looking to actively support the bar by bringing new patrons. I will never go back to that place and they are black listed in my book.
On further note, the bar tender was really nice and helpful and even t
