Greenside Recreational - Des Moines

7/5/2015
Ok! After reading ALL of the reviews about Greenside, I'll give a review that wasn't done by a "5* rated employee" or an overzealous customer expecting to have an experience equivalent to Disneyland. Now, let's start with the security. I honestly have no issue with it, I understand the world we all live in and I'd do the same, if not more, if I ran a store filled with nothing but weed. Every time I've been there, they've all been pretty cool with me. Some guys try to act tough, but it's kind of their job you know. The front end of the store looks like any typical smoke shop, glassware, accessories etc... The back end is the actual dispensary, about 4 display stalls/kiosks and an employee per blah blah blah...For the most part everyone is generally nice but, like any job there are workers that are very knowledgeable and some that aren't. I've never really encountered anyone being rude but I have felt rushed a couple times but never treated with any disrespect. In all honesty I'm not here for them, I'm here to buy something...And I'm an adult that knows how to shop on my own. As for prices, the first few months they had really great deals and lots of selection. But obviously, when businesses grow they run into that whole "supply and demand" dilemma. And learn lessons when they sell "fat" 2g for $15 and some customer(s) comes in and buy large quantities in one instant and nearly wipe out the stock lol. Recently I've seen the prices go up a little, but the product is still good. And look at it this way, you/we are paying for convenience. Instead of having to call and or wait on your "guy", there is a place that provides it nearly 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. And as with most new businesses they need time to grow, these new laws were just recently passed, this shop is still less than a year old, and they will make some mistakes along the way. I think with some time it can and will "grow" into something bigger and better. I still have a few #s in emergency situations, but I do like, and prefer to be able to shop at an actual store that I can see what I'm buying before I buy it.
