The one star is mainly for the customer service. I was really excited to hear of Imani Garden from my sister who saw a post on IG. we love supporting our black businesses as my sister and I drove from Carson to get a seeded watermelon just to patronize them specifically. I was bit underwhelmed with the offerings and the greetings were a bit lack-luster. Nico was one of the young men there and he was semi-pleasant enough but not overly. Note to owners, Nico may not be the best person to handle the front with customers. While checking out, my sister made a joke saying this is going to be a good one right? For $14, we hope it is because the ones in the store aren't good and he said "And?" Like what am I supposed to do about that? So I started cluing in that he wasn't being pleasant or wanted to engage us. He noticed me eyeing him trying to size him up so I tried to explain that all my sister was saying was that we don't mind spending the money if it's good but do mind if it is tasteless. Then he said I used to spend $100/week on watermelon and I was puzzled as to the relevance of that statement. Then he started in saying something to the effect that well we shouldn't have to pay for food and energy or any of God's creation but that's the way things are. I said ahh yeah but that's on a whole other level of what we're saying. It was starting to go further south. I was trying to get him to understand that we drove a distance to patronize your business and we didn't want it to taste like the melons out of the store down the street. We realize there was no guarantees but he almost killed the sale with his attitude and combative nonsense which we overlooked. I wanted to hear him stand behind his product as best as he could. I love my black people and want to patronize us and I'll continue to do so but I will go to another black business for better service and appreciation of business when met with that kind of vibe. Nico proceeded to state something to the effect that his melon was good and I told him he should have lead with that and not all that other combative rhetoric! The owners need to have someone else handling the front or train better in customer service if they want repeat business. Unfortunately we work hard to get our businesses going but totally forget not only basic customer service and courtesies but doing things to keep us coming back. Something as simple as a pleasant smile, or a "how are you doing today" goes a long way. I wish growth and success for this business but they have to come up on some things...Please do better! read more
