Menu presentation

[Fat_old_dwarf]

Why are some coffeeshops so bad at this? Ideally, you'd have a display the way Eerste Hulp or Prix d'Ami have, so you can stand back and decide what you want without annoying other more decisive people. OK, not every shop is ideal for this, so they have printed menus. Why not have several, the way Katsu does?

It doesn't matter that much when the choice is relatively limited, but I don't like to take too much time in Tweede Kamer, say, when there's a queue behind me. Boerejongens – my new favourite shop in terms of product – is the worst in this respect. You have to ask for each menu to be shown on the display thingy separately – sativa, indica, hash, iso. Given that most people mix and match, how are they going to know what they want until they see what's available?

It's a bloody good question - and given that NL is a centre of excellence for design; it's something I've pondered myself many times.
Besides the badly thought out 'user experience' on offer at most shops in town - there are some very dodgy font choices too!

[Fat_old_dwarf]

That's a new category for rating shops. 'Top notch range of products, comfy chairs, but the serif font on the menu was such a buzzkill.

Boerejongens has obviously put a lot of thought into the way they show things, and it would be great if it were a touch screen that allowed you to switch between the different menus as the budtender is measuring out your first purchase, but alas it isn't.

Serifs I can handle - Comic Sans? oh no no no.
Agreed about Boere's menu - it's a clunky shopping experience to say the least.

The way cshops are working is staggering unproffesional. The menus are way off and they need some pictures of bud they sellin. I know its a bit more work but it would contribute to a better coffeeshop scene. I always ask to see 2 or 3 strains. I wont bother them to see more but sometimes 2 outta 3 are scraggy looking. So you only gotta smell 1 strain.Or 3 outta 3 shit looking and the budtender is kinda pushy because the line is upsetting him. Get outta there. Very bad costumer service. Most of these budtended have low iq and superlow eq. They show no empathy with some of the best costumers in the world.
Luckily there are some coffeeshops that are stable. You ll always find some cons but a human smile and good approach is the key. Grey area's beardtender is a cool dude. High ass fuck takin his time showin every bit of potent. Long hair guy at bluebird also a big smoker himself so advice spot. Og dampkring and voyagers have the best experience in my opinion.

cs with bad service :t' ballonnetje , bj, central , prix dami, ibiza, carmona.... I guess dutch budtenders are my least favourite. The older budtenders at b'tje are just creapy lookin. No social abbilities at all. Bj budtenders are justdressed up like doctors but never patience with the patients.

Hmm this is a good question.

Good service: 1e Hulp (if Larby's working; or if you're local and Jaap knows/likes you - if you're not local and Jaap/Bus are working then you're fucked cuz they really hate them some tourists). De Graal, always cute Spanish-speaking tendresses - always friendly enough. Katsu, - never had a problem here always been able to look at all the product be offered sound advice (the glass display case of all the prebags is a huge plus nodding to the OT/OP of this thread) - also the owner had a toke and chat with me at the verdamper and gave me a few drinks on the house - another huge plus ; The Stud. Paradox may actually win this category though as I went there once with no intention of buying cannabis. Had my own preferable blend of green tea bags, asked the lady bud tender can I have a "tea" but just pay for the hot water I have my own teabags I prefer. "No honey don't worry, you have your own tea, you don't pay for hot water" essentially obliging me to patronize her gezellig coffeeshop without paying for a thing (I opted for a cookie and a pre-roll after that just because I felt so bad)

Shitty service: Barney's; Greenhouse; Popeyes; Dampkring-II (I like their hash and weed enough but the staff are some right cunts)

[mokum]

I so forgot dampkring 2. This is by far the worst coffeeshop service you could imagine. The guys showing the buds are arrogant pieces of shit. And the security guy is just straight up barking to costumers. Take your money elsewhere please. This type of fuckry need to stop.

[Nuggz]

Balloon though, I've never had problems - but also some of the crowd I roll with are daily customers there, as well as one that's even now a budtender. So I always get treated right there, and really the old dude(s) has always been really cheery and accommodating to me (I do always make an effort to order in Dutch so that could also account for his more jovial demeanor with me).

Hmmmm where else though? Can't think of anywhere else super cunty at this exact moment in time, but yet again hold that thought...

[HisDudeness]

You can add Siberie to the shitty service list. One of the younger female BTs working there seems to have a real problem with showing the product before you buy it. Even came out with the ridiculous excuse that she couldn't show me a lot of tubs because 'opening them all the time reduces the quality'. What she doesn't realise is that not opening the tubs actually reduces the amount of customers the CS might have - I've not been back there since this happened.
