The Botanist - Akron

Great budtenders, prices could be lower, but their security guards are creeps. They are armed and are looking for an excuse to use their guns. Last I was in there, I watched a newer security guard watching the surveillance monitors with her hand on her pistol the whole time, then rushed after someone who was minding their own business. The worst one is a guy named Morgan. Morgan has harassed me numerous times. 1st time was when he saw my keychain sticking out of my pocket. When we got into the vestibule area he cornered me, put his hand on his gun and asked me what I had in my pocket. I showed him my keys and he eased up. The second time, I was talking to someone else about my being indigenous and he butted in and asked: "What are you an Indian?" 4th time he made mention of my nail polish (i'm a man) "What are you painting your fingernails now?" None of his business. 5th time I made my purchase and was waiting out front for a ride and he came out and hassled me and said I couldn't be out there, which is a lie, there are residents and employees who are in front and around the building a lot. That's 5 times this jerk has hassled me. I tried contacting the people who run the place but none of my calls nor emails were returned, so I guess I will leave my complaint here. I will never spend another single cent in this place, so long as they employ racist guards who are police rejects with itchy trigger fingers.
