The Green Solution - Wewatta St. @ Union Station

1/24/2014
As a Northglenn resident, I was exited to learn that the Northglenn TGS location had recently opened for recreational sales and decided to stop by. Their business hours are listed as 9:00am. - 7:00pm. I arrived at 6:20pm and waited outside in 10 degree weather for about 10 minutes in a line of other customers. The front door was locked, however, all the lights were on and there were two women at the receptionist counter laughing and conversing. After those 10 minutes, one of the women finally opened the front door and informed everyone that they were closed! I understand that dispensaries are a bit overwhelmed with high demand and large numbers of customers. However, in my opinion, if they are unable to serve customers during posted business hours perhaps they should adjust them (If customers need to be in the door waiting in line at 6:00 if they hope to be served by closing time, change your posed hours to reflect this.) Also, put a closed sign on your door and don't sit around chit chatting with your co-workers while you watch potential customers line up in the freezing cold. I found that to be VERY rude. If this were the only issue, I would probably wait until the market calms down and give them another try, but it's not. My girlfriend was able to visit that same TGS location earlier in the day and told me that they not only require your full name (this is apparently entered into their system and prints on the labels for their containers) but also require a digital signature (same as most retailers require for a debit or CC transaction) basically saying that, under penalty of perjury, you promise not to break the law with the pot you buy. So, essentially, by purchasing retail from this or any of their other locations, you full name (taken from your driver's license) as well as your signature are being stored in their database. If the whole truce between the department of justice and Colorado's implementation of amendment 64 falls apart, they will have information to implicate ALL OF THEIR RETAIL CUSTOMERS in committing a FEDERAL CRIME (Red card holders are already in that situation, but that's why I didn't get one in the first place.) I've visited about 5 retail locations since the first, and this is the only business I've encountered that wants to collect your personal information. The law does not require me to give my name to buy recreational marijuana, and shame on these guys for trying to collect it, placing customers at unnecessary risk in the process.
