I understand that and appreciate the need for keeping buds whole when possible. Only on my experience it was when this was refused that the dealers attitude changed, which was the uncomfortable part. It hasn't put me off the shop though as i have many great experience in their and (more so) Hunters 2/The Coin.Hunter wrote:If I go to a coffeeshop to buy weed, my personal preference is to buy one piece rather than a set gram. If it comes in at 1.3, for example, that is fine by me if I like the look of it. Otherwise naturally I will ask for just the set gram. This is what I have been trying to instill in the dealers here. Rather than picking the buds to pieces, offer the option of buying the piece on the scale in its entirity. The idea isn't to be 'pushy' or to brow beat people into buying more than they asked for. Everybody has the choice to simply state that they just want the exact gram, thanks. No worries.
Yeah, I agree too. I remember once in Barneys they dealer didnt want to sell me a 1.4 gram bud, insisting he had to sell in whole grams, I just bought a gram instead.Valo wrote:I understand that and appreciate the need for keeping buds whole when possible.Hunter wrote:If I go to a coffeeshop to buy weed, my personal preference is to buy one piece rather than a set gram.

Sounds like my average experience in welsh pubsTrue Playa wrote:I also had a bit of a bad experience with the aggressive dutch guy with the bandana serving in Hunter's bar. The guy is a straight up arsehole and should not be in a role that obviously requires patience and people skills.
There was a queue when i got there, so i had a bit of time to observe this guy's behaviour. Very aggressive mannerisms, body language and just in general not inkeeping with the kinda vibe you want in a coffeeshop.
The guy infront of me fell victim to his upselling, ended up buying more than he had asked for in each bag of icolator...expensive up-sell.
Then it is my turn, i am only there to buy a gram to send back to a friend, i ask to look at the so gouda and he informs me that it isn't to his taste and that maybe i should look at the sour diesel.
Why would i care if it is not to HIS taste? I understand reccomending other strains but surely it's down to what I like?
I look at both strains and decide on the so gouda (was a bit disappointed with Hunter's sour diesel, not the raw stinkout i was looking for) the guy weighs it up and as with all customers he points to the screen and asks if 1.3g is ok. NO, i only have a 10e note i said waving it infront of him, to which he slams my deal down on the table, bags it up and grunts at me with a kind of 'i know you just busted me' nod.
Either way, i really like hunters bar/coffeeshop...but this dealer has put me off...i can't understand why you would employ such an aggressive, pushy guy to serve weed up to a load of placid stoners...
I do understand what hunters saying please and thank you gets you a long way!Hunter wrote:Name calling is not a good way to enter a debate, in my opinion.
The gentleman in question, with the bandana, is actually Spanish. A very fine, kind individual and a decent friend and colleague. He is enthusiastic, loves his job, loves to get you all high! He speaks 6 languages and is an intelligent individual. He can get too over enthusiastic. I accept that. But aggressive the man is not.
It would be very easy for me to sit here and say how some of the customer approaches are less than savoury, lack grace and manners. Because they do. And just perhaps, that is contributory to how the dealers day may be going, and his / her general attitude accordingly. I'm not making excuses, just hypothesising. Believe it or not, working the deal can actually be pretty taxing on the senses after many hours / days, just the same as many other jobs. But please, rest assured we really do try to do the best by our customers.
My primary purpose for posting here is half business / half enthusiast. Hunters is run by smokers, for smokers. It's kind of depressing when I find myself defending the shop half the time. But, I do so because I know all of these people that are written about personally, and I know that each and every one of them is Hunters through and through. They each contribute to the atmosphere we are trying to create 365 days a year. And you know, Jose the Spanish lad, has to get up at 5am every morning, come rain or snow, to open that deal for you guys at 7am. He is never late.
Groetjes van Amsterdam!
