    The bud-tender claim they were infused on the outside with diamonds so I got it and it turn to be a regular joint but prices were fine

    Prices were better before but now they try to sell you the $60+ carts. at this point I rather make the drive to the city and take in the views and munchies

    They don't do returns or exchanges & that sucks if the w*ed you buy isn't good, you just have to deal with it

    Let me start off by saying your Woodland crew, all of them are exceptional and outstanding, there…read moreare no improvements needed. There are no "stupid questions" and they make you feel like they are your best friend and your part of the crew, from an enthusiastic greeting as you walk in the door, to another as you enter the show room. I cannot say enough. AYour selection is impeccable and vast as well. Now for ownership, that is another thing. The biggest beef and I am not the only one as I have heard from other customers as well. What is with the $5.00 atm fee? This is an absolute slap in the face to your customers, and I can only equate it to corporate greed. Your employees work so hard to make each shop into a "local neighborhood shop" and in seconds you kinda put a damper on that. Maybe I am missing something, and I do know there are fees at the bank involved. But let's do the math. First off, you do have expenses as all business does but the profity margin at dispensaries is already high. The price point you set is to remain profitable. The beef, is at 5$ per swipe, at a modest 100 transactions per day is approx 15 k pure profit. So that encourages cash only as your bank machine has fees as well. Let us talk about encouraging cash............hmmmmmm. I love getting "cash" as well. I get that. But your adding 5$ per trans is really soaking your clients. With almost everything being cashless or cashless encouraged it almost feels like a trap. You have gone so far even as to switch out to a new debit system and "forgot" to put the 5$ per transaction fee notice back on the customer terminal so if the employee forgets to mention it you don't even know about it. Now I have heard other businesses charging this heavy fee but instead of being greedy they put it into their employees. Retirement funds, medical and health coverage or yearly bonuses etc. I know you have reward programs etc. and are a great business. I def may have it all wrong, but I have heard people really complain and with so many other dispensaries around, a switch is easy. I love your shop but this just leaves a bad taste. Like I said I am mostly uninformed and maybe totally wrong but with everything being so expensive do we really need such a high fee. The 1% give to the community is a start too. I would like to thank you in advance for your time and do hope you take this question and suggestions as intended and not a attack on you or your staff. Please pass along the love to your staff. Best Regards and the best day, Terry

This time, I was made to wait in line to check in. Then after the long wait to check in, I was asked to move over to the pick up window and she'll be right over to get my order. But the girl just started helping the next person in line. WTF! She was not finished helping me! I will never shop at Embarc locations again. I ended up driving miles away to Bloomerang in SF.

I've purchased hundreds, and I mean hundreds of HH carts and never have had a problem Sadly I doubt I'll be back again. 4 times in the last month they've completely ignored me in the queue. First time, no big deal. It happens, they're busy and I've been coming here for years. Second time: super slow and no reason to have been passed over. Annoyed and didn't speak up. Third time: was the only one waiting inside the gated area ready to order. Waited 3-5 minutes, only me. Someone walks in, checks in, immediately gets helped. I kindly mention that i was there first. I was told they had already started to help the new guest so I should wait. I was very unhappy. I went to bloom room the next time I needed anything. Today, 4th time in one month; it happens again. This time I tell the guest who purposefully cut me that I was there first. The staff didn't give any direction. They apologized after and just said we have a lot of new staff. I said, "I don't mean to be rude or be that guy, but this is the 4th time this has happened. I love it here. People are so friendly here. But as a dedicated customer I've actually become very turned off about the situation. " In the end it's not a big deal, I'll buy my weekly load of carts from bloom room. Saying "oh well, we'll eventually dial it in" doesn't really sit great with me. Have fun learning how to train a staff to run a queue, I for one won't be around to watch it happen. And again, so sad, as old staff was so nice and so good at their job. Very attentive

To any bud tenders reading this and you feel like it is targeted to you, 1. it is and 2, maybe take a T break to get those brain juices pumping again. 3/5 if you are unfortunate enough to call Daly City home, this is probably your most convenient spot. You have very little competition in the area I would be trying to take advantage of that. Not a bad store at all, but definitely not the best ,
