Was there in summer with a friend for a quick buy and fly, since I've never been to a Damkring and wanted to check them out.
The vibe was horrible, the waitress unfriendly, an agressive Security guy shouting at people for no reason at all, two lazy budtenders in their mid-20's not doing anything and letting us wait for several minutes.
When one of them in his gratefulness finally decided to serve us little human beings, he didn't speak a single word during the whole transaction. When a strain wasn't in stock, he would simply slam the empty box on the counter. No "Hi", no "Sorry, we ran out." No "Anything else I can offer?",...
Just an arrogant asshole.

Finally bought a half gram of Sour D, since I was a bit in a hurry to catch my flight. Should have gone to Picasso. Even overpriced Barney's would have been better instead.
The weed was quite strong, cutting through the great high from Voyager's Chocolope. Was a very nervous, speedy and edgy high that lastet all the way from Damkring, running after my train in panic at Central, to finally boarding my plane. While I normally love strong Sativas, this one wasn't pleasant at all.

All in all, not going back again since there are dozens of friendly shops around town. Fuck them!

Couldn't agree more. Visited this place a while ago and I can safely say I'll never go there again.

I probably encountered the same lazy budtenders. There were 2 guys in front of me being helped by one of the budtenders, those 2 customers were together, eventually making a single purchase. Sadly the second budtender was more interested in watching them then helping me. Even after those 2 guys made their purchase, they left me waiting for at least another minute before helping me.

Something else happened during that last minute of waiting that completely pissed me off. I usually don't complain about house rules. If they want you to take your cap off, for whatever reason, then you take it off. Simple. But while I was waiting a guy wearing a cap came in, instantly went to the counter and said; "I know the house rules, but I have had an operation and part of my head is bandaged, if I take off my hat my bandages might fall off because they are already pretty loose. So can you please let me keep on this hat for 2 minutes so I can make my purchase and leave. If it's about security, I'll look straight into any camera so it can see my face clearly." The guy then tilted and lifted his cap slightly and you could clearly see the bandages and that part of his head was shaven. To my amazement the budtenders actually told the guy to take his cap off or simply get lost. Luckily the guy took it with a smile and left without saying another word.

That was when one of the budtenders finally asked me what I wanted. I was so perplexed about what just happened I just asked for a gram of Trainwreck and a gram of Killa Kush without thinking even tho I had completely different plans before walking in there. I can't even remember how the service was, if the guy was polite or not. I was just too stunned to even notice. I do remember them cracking up about 'how ugly' the guy's head was because of the irregular way it was shaven under his cap. And that honestly took every single little bit of self control I had to not walk back in there and just attack them in a blind fury.

I had never seen such disrespectful and arrogant people. This is a completely different world from Dampkring 1(Handboogstraat), not that I'm all that happy with the service in there either, but it's definitely nothing like here. I will never set foot in here again even if it's the last shop on earth.

Honest question....should someone who just suffered a head injury be smoking weed while the bandages are still fresh?

Btw...fuck that dealer too for the handling of that situation....but in fairness, his boss probably said zero tolerance...but yeah, fuck em.

Rifman sunset €8 1g: A good value hash that you can not fault, clean and pure, what I have come to expect from the Rifman hashs. this was the stickiest I have found this variety suggesting to me that it was nice and fresh. A smooth smoke with that classic Moroccan flavour, a relaxing day time stone

It's a shame to hear people having bad experiences with the service. For what it's worth I've yet to have a bad experience and the long haired BT especially is a really nice and informative guy. I accidentally left around 25E worth of hash there, went back the next day, and he had found it and kept hold of it in case I returned.

The background noise that sounds like a digital tele-type or morse code like sound in the background is from keeping a cell phone near the camera.
There must have been a door there in the wall when I came in.
