correction to my review, as I see I actually left it for Green Solution instead of Altitude: Haven't been to GS at this location yet, but would consider it.
I've been here perhaps three times before last night's visit, and service has always been decent, but last night (Sep. 15) I was helped by a budtender who made the visit so much better with her friendliness and courtesy. I wish I had gotten her name. Friendly budtenders are of equal importance to me as good prices and quality weed. One reason I won't go back to Affinity, located closer to my home, is that I've been treated like a Walmart customer there by a budtender who seemed to resent her job, never looked me in the eye or thanked me for my purchase. I'll happily go to Starbuds again. And again.
I am a huge fan of Diego, and travel an hour each way to shop there. Their product is always on point, never been let down. Good deals, price-wise and value-wise. I usually get the feeling of being rushed instead of feeling free to roam and check out the whole store. The employees are always very polite, but you get the feeling they're trying to get you out of the store in less than five minutes, no matter how much you spend or tip. And not necessarily during high-volume times of day, when they've got people waiting behind the velvet rope. Despite this, it is one of my fave dispensaries and I go out of my way to shop there because the product has never disappointed.
piss-poor quality weed, masters of the bait & switch. lure you in with promises of good deals ($38/ quarter) then don't have the strain of the day, but dusty, wet-smelling weed. was told over the phone that it's not really the strain of the day, but the strain of the hour. sorry, but even at that price, wet-smelling dust isn't worth it to me. will never shop here again, and hope they go out of business soon. like dealing with a crooked dealer.
