Ive read through all of the reviews on yelp in regards to Docs and Im not seeing what they are seeing.
To the nurse who wrote about her "2 quarters for $100 and that was including tax. It was probably half stems and I found seeds in it too. The flower is poor quality and very pricey. The employees are not very inviting" and a separate review about how she doesn't like when Sam's Club employees tell her to stop dragging her child by the ear inside the store. I had to include the second part because it helps put her Doc's review into context. There some big questions left unanswered in her review.
First and foremost, what strain did she purchase? Was it the discount flower? I ask these questions because, for example, I went in the other day and got two 8ths(they are priced as 8ths not as a total quarter) of premium flower(Red Headed Stranger and Moonshine Haze) and some hash(Green Crack x Pineapple Lebanese) which added up to(with my industry discount) $96 or so. Do you see where im going with this yet?
If nurse lady in fact purchased 2 quarters for $100 then(even in 2017) she would have had to have purchased discounted flower and or(the most likely scenario) shake. Its like she walked into a High End boutique and bought the cheapest thing they sold(maybe a set of black bobby pins or something) and complained when it wasn't the rose gold ones she had always dreamed of purchasing.
My second review of a Doc's review will be on the kid sitting on parents front porch. His review was "Most unhelpful staff I've ever encountered. Horrible service. I became a member and realized they offered absolute crap deals so I tried to cancel my membership. This is worst part, it took over 2 days of calling and jumping through hoops to make them take me off because they want my plant count. Absolutely horrible. Will never shop here again." Pretty angry child right? So lets break this one down shall we!
So he became a member and signed over his plants to Doc's. No big deal right? Wrong. The kid isn't just giving his friend some baseball cards...he is signing over a highly regulated, red tape laden group of plants. So when he had to wait 2 whole days to get his plants back...was it even a mystery to him why it took 2 days? Impatience is the bane of our young generation. Of course, knowing that giving back plants isn't like returning your subway sandwich, you can see how him saying the staff is unhelpful and the service is horrible doesn't really hold up when you review his review!
My final review of a review is a typical, the world stops and starts at my feet, type of person. Lets call her, Ms.Universe! Her is her shorten review. "'ive been going there for a few months and have had no real complaints until they're was a duplicate charge on my account for a purchase I made last month.~~~~When I told him I would have to dispute the charges he said..."I'm fine with that." I asked for the owner's name which he would not give me.~~~~~I live in Brighton and it take 20 minutes one way for me to drive to Doc's Apothecary. That's 40 minutes round trip. If this is the kind of customer service I can expect, I doubt I'll be making that trip again."
Fun lady right! So lets break this down. You can read her full review and her one other review on her yelp page. So her experience starts off great! She makes her epic journey from Brighton all the way to Northglen! Incredible. The burden of time is strong with this one. All of a sudden...ONE DAY, she pulls her card out to early and the card machine charges her twice, as it should. The directions are simple on the card machine. Ill leave it at that. Obviously Doc's, like most if not all dispensaries, cant just call up the bank and ask for the money back. This is another case of, Not Realizing How Complicated the Cannabis Industry Is! We aren't talking about Macy's charging your card twice, Oops. I can take care of that for you right now Ms.Universe, my apologies. We are talking about a federally illegal substance who no major corporations, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, etc, can legally be apart of. So its not wonder that Doc's couldn't just instantly give her the money back. The biggest unanswered question that she failed to include in her review was, Did she receive her money back? To which the answer could only be, yes.
And finally, My review of Doc's is as follows.
Are you paying a little more, yes. Compared to some dispensaries it might even be a lot more. Is it outrageous, no. I quite often pay for what I want. If what I want costs more, so be it. In all seriousness, its really not that expensive. The quality of Doc's herb has never been in question in my mind. Although, my only beef is that the Rec side has way better selection and product than the Med side. The staff is always kind and knowledgeable. I would put them easily in the Top Ten dispensaries in the State. read more
