Uncle Ike's - Central District

The store looks great, in fact it it real easy to look around and get a sense of what is available to purchase besides flowers and edibles. I have been to several dispensaries and the quality has never been bad at any of them, so I am glad that Ikes gives me the same experience. My problem is the service. The line is long almost all the time. A few days I was able to go during the morning hours, but even by 11:30 - 12:15 the line is long enough for you to feel rushed by the time you get to the counter. The bud-tenders do not alleviate you of that feeling either. I have been at a few places where I have felt comfortable asking a few questions about the products that I am purchasing even it there are a lot of customers on the floor. Almost every time I ask a question at Ikes I get the feeling they are telling me what I want to hear to buy what I came in for. I had one employee in particular straight lie to me about a particular method of extraction for extracts. I can understand how they feel having to look at the really long lines all day, but I feel like as someone who has worked retail, that it is okay to say you don't know something. It really helps people figure out what they want. The prices are okay, but they typically run out of many strains quickly, and I constantly find myself spending more than I budgeted because I am "there" and don't want to wait to go to another store. I suppose if they get a more stable selection, and the bud-tenders get a little more experience or the lines get shorter I might go back. But for now there are a lot more locations that provide a much better service for less near where I work...
