I got no problem to be told too look at a menu out the way no problem at all but for it to be picked up off the counter and shoved in my chest is another thing. So I went back to the counter and when rudely asked 'what you want' from the obnoxious prick I told him Some Costumer service would be fucking wonderful and promptly walked out. I will never enter that place again. Full stop. Shame as I quite like the decor.

Nearly same happened to me in Aug. with my flat cap on. Hat off seems to be a general rule for CS, some are strict, some less. Most that I know they don't bother. Perhabs they had problems with too many youngsters crowding the shops with their "Rapper" base caps on...? But despite for CS it's also a general attitude of respect that if you want to make business w/ someone and/or enter somebody elses terrain to take off your hat. But that's no reason for the BT being so rude and offensive. And I also felt pushed to stop looking at the menue, asking one/two things bout their stuff...
Due to that also left TK w/ very uncomfortable feeling and will not return!

I always take my beanie off as of manners and being brought up so. I can totally understand if he had a bad day, hour etc. But theres a way to talk to someone regardless of if there a tourist, local, black, white, yellow etc. The tender was a obnoxious miserble bastard. It didn't just take me by surprise the shop went deadly quite for a couple of seconds. Anyhow next time ( if there's a next time ) il make sure I take my beanie off 10 yrds from the shop just in case he may be looking through the tiny window n looking for a reason to exploit his fustration of the day upon me. Lol

I think I know who you mean. I always associate this place with that bald guy('original dutch', in his late fourties/early fiftees)who is friendly and that other one('not original dutch' ,dark hair , in his fourties). Latter one is called 'Roy' I guess and is manager of that place. I personally had positive as negative experiencies with him. What means he can be quite funny as well as dickish.

The behaviour Cornish Pixie described is unacceptable. Since working at the service sector respectively working with customers/people in general is quite underrated(rather exhausting, been there done that) I could go on and argue and psychologize for that guy and his behaviour though. Change of perspective and all that.

However, to cut a long story short I'd advise not to avoid those places with quality gear but not so quality staff(if they lack quality as well then this decision would be different of course ). In my experience there are too many people working in coffeeshops with the social skills of a Tyrannosaurus rex. Most probably one of the reasons beside dealing with all type of customers is the fact that they know about their oligopoly on this (semi-legal)market.
So I enter those establishments and go for what I came for, grass and hash. Trying not to take everything there too personally, sad but true. Politeness would be a bonus but if not so be it. I can smoke elsewhere. If the situation is untolerable I open my mouth though!

Just my two cents.

tweede kamer is exactly the same as it has been every time I've ever been in there. tiny and brilliant. it's been that way for years. strong coffee too.

Sorry about your experience .My self my favourite bud tender works there the fact they have high standards on costomer attitudes is way I love the place .PS best hash in the city.

The lady was very rude when we walked in so we turned around and left

Enjoying the Neville's Haze from here at the moment - cured to perfection and a very nice clear high.

got some nice Rifman Sherazade Sunrise Hash (8€/g) from here this weekend. It´s
a blonde oily hash smelled good even without heating by flame... like in the past
it´s great hash for the price

Rifman hashish rules !! Tried a bunch all was good... Have to say the lady working is rude like animal said !!

How is the effect on the Sunrise? ..is it a good daytime smoke, or will it make you too sleepy?

See, i'm looking for a nice daytime maroccan that wont make you too tired. Which ones of the Rifman hashes are good daytime/morning Maroccans?

for me it is a nice daytime smoke... but still powerfull I would say it´s
the best option for some daytime hash at Tweede. But check out the other
Rifman Hashes and ask the dealer he will give you a nice advice usually

Tried their Pineapple Haze 12€/g... one of the better weed batches I got on my last trip. Nice smelling
and good grown (especially nice dried^^) Sativa nice smoke
The Pioneer Bloc hash (8,50€/g) was pretty nice, too. Compared to the Sunrise it´s more darker and oily...
great quality for the price like the Sunrise maybe a little bit better.

Last week:
Tbisla yasemine(14€)was shown among others and I found it to be a flowerish tasty moroccan with good effects. Shop was calm and I pretty much enjoyed my stay and the music playing .

I was there last weekend. I had some unpressed Ice hash with me... I had put
it into a little plastic container like they had for concentrates at Betty Boop...
so I wanted to make a big bowl (in a bong) of that ice stuff... when I just
started the woman who work their come to me and said what is in that container?
I showed her the container and said some unpressed ice hash... then she said
ok I just wanted to check that...
Maybe she thought that I had some wax or BHO with me... what´s banned from the
most shops now? I don´t know but in a way it was funny
