Pick up order not as expected

I placed my order for pick up as I always do. This last time I was told I had to wait and complete the transaction on the curb and not at the window as every other time. Staff is always nice I personally don’t like paying and receiving my change in the curb. My change was dropped and I was also unable to speak with the staff to confirm what I ordered and ask for any additional recommendations. It was just overall not what I come to expect from a normally very pleasant dispensary to visit. I hope for a better experience next time around. (Service always great)

Disgusting attitude

Everytime i come here the girl who checked me out is always rude and unprofessional.

I NEVER FINISHED THIS ORDER

I Complained earlier about the shady practices of this company, and a few hours later they processed the order I complained about without my consent. I purchased nothing.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. In order to remove them from the queue, orders that are cancelled are often marked as "complete" on the back end of the system in order to remove them from the queue. This will send a message to the customer that your order has been processed. Apologies for any confusion. If you have any further questions or there is anything we can do to make your experience the best it can possibly be, please do not hesitate to reach out.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. At A Green Alternative, we strive to create a welcoming, respectful environment for all customers and hold our team to high standards of professionalism and service. In this particular situation, our staff was following store policy and state compliance guidelines, which prohibit the use of vape or cannabis products inside the dispensary. These rules are in place to ensure a safe and compliant space for both customers and employees. When policies are not followed, our team may need to refuse service or ask a guest to leave — this is never personal, but simply part of adhering to regulations and maintaining a comfortable environment for everyone. We take concerns about staff conduct seriously and can assure you that our budtenders are trained to treat all guests with respect and without bias. If you’d like to discuss this further, we welcome you to contact management directly so we can address any remaining concerns.

Good People

I began coming here as prices everywhere skyrocketed, illegal dispensaries began acting sketchy and then got shut down. I appreciate the og 20.7 price on carts and how you guy's keep purchasing economic concentrates. Thank you for your service to the community.

Top notch customer service!!!

I had purchased a Driven 1g cartridge and the following day I wanted to use it. It did not work with any of my batteries. Called them right away and they we’re happy to help. They directed me to take it back to the shop. While I was there I ended up making some extra purchases trying to knock two birds with one stone. I had called them in the morning and came in at noon. Everyone had known that I was going to go back in for a broken cartridge. The best experience, I am a regular customer and this is the first time this happens. So satisfied with the service I had to write something about it. I am glad to be a patient.
