I just got home from my first-ever Total Wine pickup at this location, and it was by far the worst…read morecustomer service experience I've ever had with this company. I've been shopping at Total Wine for over 9 years and have never encountered anything like this. The pickup interaction lasted less than five minutes, yet it left me so upset that I cried in my car afterward. I don't know the employee's name, but she should not be working in customer-facing role. From the start, she yelled at me for being in the "wrong" pickup spot and complained that it made her job harder. She was extremely rude to both me and my husband, despite us being polite and doing nothing to warrant that treatment. When placing the items in my trunk, she didn't even bother to close it--and then rushed away so quickly it felt intentional and dismissive. When I asked to confirm what was in the pickup box (we ordered 2 bottles of wine, a 6-pack of beer, and a small bottle of amaretto), she said, "Here's your 4 bottles." I calmly clarified that it should be 3 bottles and a 6-pack. She responded by glaring at me intensely, rolling her eyes, ripping the box open, and saying, "You can look for yourself" Her tone and body language were aggressive and hostile. It's hard to fully capture the interaction because so much of it was her attitude, but the disrespect was shocking. No customer deserves to be treated this way, especially during a simple pickup order. This experience was completely unacceptable and deeply disappointing for a brand I've trusted for years. Is this really the standard of service this location is okay with?

After shopping there for the last few years, my experience tells me that Hotbox hires personable, intelligent and helpful employees, who easily meet the mark of great retail customer service (4 or 4.5 out of 5 in my personal experience). That has been my experience as a customer of theirs for the past 3 or 4 years. But to me, to give a company a five-star rating, the real test is: how does leadership respond to concerning situations that rise beyond, say, menial retail service interactions (returns, helpfulness, etc). Will leadership listen to a customer with respect, and take appropriate action? Do they demonstrate care and concern for the health and safety of their employees? If so, then I would personally consider them a 5-star organization. In my experience, Hotbox rises to, and surpasses this very high standard. They listen, they care, and they take responsible actions to make things right. Big ups to the Hotbox staff and leadership. You folks are taking ownership, and striving to make the company a great one. Here's to many more years of shopping at your store! read more

Hotbox northgate is my go to smoke shop. It is really rare if I go anywhere else, and I am willing to go out of my way to come to this location because I love it so much. The northgate location is close by my work and thankfully open late for those nights when i need juice or an extra coil asap. I know most of the staff that work here and every time I come in they always seem to have time to have more conversation than just about what I am buying, which I really value. Even when I come in and see new faces working here, they treat me as if they knew me. The prices are hard to beat and the amount of new product they push out is amazing. Everytime I come in (at least once a week) there is always something new to look at. Special thank you to Caleb in particular for being diligent with finding an answer to all of my questions even if he doesnt initially know the answer. His work ethic is outstanding and I look forward to coming into the shop to see him. read more

Stopped by here today on a whim as I did not have enough time to make it further north on my work break. Staff was friendly and attentive and helped me with my needs. A little lacking on the mod section but I understand as they cover a wide variety of products. Glass prices are good with some great local artist blown products! Lots of high end vaporizers. Negative side: Decided to try a few new things and ended up going with a few bottles of Thunderhead vapor eliquid, was in a hurry so just picked a few and left. Absolutely the worst idea: Thunderhead vapor Eliquids taste like chemicals, harsh not true to description flavors and just downright gross. I do not know why they have this but it's just as bad as China eliquid. All in all, Staff was friendly and helpful, I will stop back in when around but will NOT purchase that brand ever!! read more

Within a couple minutes drive time from several other smoke shops but I make the 15 minute trip to this shop a couple times a week since I first stopped in a few months ago on my way to work. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable with regards to everything I've had questions about (vape mods, Kratom, CBD products, etc.). Went in today to get some stuff for my vaporizer and the staff was totally willing to step aside and help walk me through options and educate me. Prices are fair as well for most items.. Although they could use some more affordable or discounted options for Vapes and CBD items, but I'm not going to dock them a star for that. Overall really recommend this shop and will keep coming! read more

My go to smoke shop! Frendly atmosphere, fair prices, Knowledgeable employees that are familiar with all their products. If the owner is reading this, they all deserve recognition and big ass raises because they have kept me coming back for years now. Even on busy days they make the effort to acknowledge every customer or window shopper that walks in and that means a lot. Not to mention the range of products they carry; Cigarettes, vape pens, box mods, enough e juices to make you loose your mind, kratom, pipes and bongs. The list goes on folks. So if you're looking for a place to meet your smoke or vapor related needs, check em out, you wont be disappointed! read more

Not only did he provide exceptional customer service, but he also demonstrated an unparalleled knowledge of their inventory. After striking out at five other shops, Chris not only found the perfect glass piece for my dab rig but also went above and beyond to ensure I was satisfied. His expertise and dedication truly set Hotbox apart, making it my go-to destination for all my smoking needs.

I came in with a weird request for a scarf, since I know some smoke shops carry a few odds and ends. They didn't quite have what I was looking for, but the staff was super friendly, extremely helpful, and I ended up leaving with some great buys at a wonderful price. It isn't very often that you walk into a shop with no real expectations and leave feeling so satisfied with the service. I've definitely found my new go-to smoke shop! read more
