it sounds like you've never owned a retail store dependent upon customers and cashflow. Nor does it sound like you've done much in commerce. This is not a criticism, but simply a statement about your perceptions and knowledge level.
Employing capital entails risk. That risk is borne by those who seek uncertain returns on capital deployed.
Having some gerbil in front of you taking up space and arguing over a 1.5euro drink in your own establishment - is silly. Both for the shop's time, and the cheap twat taking up space.
I am sympathetic to the owner who spends time, capital, effort, and hard work to build a store and maintain it. Those who do it well get my return business. Those who don't, don't.
That is all the democracy the market needs to reward people who provide a for profit service that is good - versus the person who performs it poorly.
I'll echo Skinanother's words: this is not an attack, just an opinion. And thanks again for the report.
But. The shops are in business, not charity. Nor as lounges for people who should probably be looking for a park bench rather than engaging a commercial enterprise for goods and services. You might be doing it best if you stayed at home and smoke the 60g of dope bought for you by taxpayers.
Hey, I'm just saying....
Peace
Hardboiled,
...perhaps your brain is hard-boiled.
I have done business in retail shop, and I have more than 15 years in commerce as private business owner. When I was engaged in retail I considered it a basic tenet that exact change must be maintained as this is the business: exchange of retail goods for money with need to give change.
Cheap-twat? Charity? ...your brain is hard-boiled.
FYI - 60g per month is not paid for by tax-payers, it is provided by volunteer growers, like myself to the system. Go be cynical and nasty with others because your qualification that your post was "not an attack" is betrayed by remarks of "cheap-twat".
I do think you may be happier if you stayed at home and smoke the 60g of accurately labelled marijuana per month that's been grown and harvested for you by volunteers.
It'll save your hard earned money, and the Dutch assholes will learn their lesson.
One of the best posts i've read for awhile, thanks for posting! My friend you've got 2 steel wrecking balls that swing between your legs, respect
Glad you had a good trip, did you sample any of the RLD girls? I bet you were a 'hard' customer in there an all!
"hash cut with opium - it's a well-known phenomenon. You can search google for it. It's a way to get you more addicted to the hash to keep coming back. I am not saying the coffeeshops add the opium, but Hizbullah (Lebanese hash), and Taliban (Afghan hash) do this all the time"....Old jewish wive's tale.I thought i was tight, Jesus every pounds a prisoner thanks for posting.
thanks for taking the time to post,
im glad you told them what you think, honesty is the best policy, if your not happy with something we should complain & then maybe things will change, instead of just taking it on the chin, you wouldn't take being sold a underweighed bag @home so why should we in dam, to be honest though i bet they couldn't give a shit about people revealing their business practises online, coffeeshops in the nederlands are the only business where you dont have to worry about a rival setting up shop next door, its a monopoly, so even shit shops like grasshopper will always be full of clueless 1st timers.
Shalom
re.. coffeeshops selling weed under different names. Well when I used to grow I would buy a pack of seeds of a certain strain and grow them all out, then remove the males this would leave maybe 6 females I would label them and clone them noting the what came from what. When I had finished the "mothers" I would test them and note which were alround best grow/smoke, BUT heres my point....there would be a lots of differences between the mothers even though they were all out the same pack of seeds.
So I would end up with six different bags of weed that look/smell different to each other but they all would be calledthe same strain name.
Yeah Midzy the cheaper seeds like Nirvana are F2 hybrids which means you get a mix of phenotypes in the one packet of seeds---F1 hybrids are all true and will produce plants whose growth habits are the same----not that it ever bothered me--Nirvana seeds £10 a packet--grow--get stoned--job done---bugger the genetics

very true Bilbo and I likes yer thinking but I used to find that even the high end seeds would have differences between them.
So I think its unfair to accuse a cf of lying 'bout what they are selling, two growers could turn up at a cs both have the same stain to sell but they may smell/look different.
Interesting report and i can relate to some of what you say - underweight deals, attitude , no sunglasses !
Hope youve some good memories despite the hassles.
ps. had a look at your site - i didnt know weed was legal in Israel
That was a great report. I have NEVER been asked to leave a shop for not buying gear. I always walk in and order something to drink. Find a place to sit, Sometimes I smoke sometimes not. Sometimes I buy gear sometimes not. Seems like I have spent months in diff. shops and never had any of the problems I read about.
