This is how you kill a business from the inside out. I…read morewalked into this smoke shop on a Saturday morning at 10:50 a.m. The place was empty--not "quiet," not "between customers," just empty. No one at the counter. No one restocking. No one even pretending to care that a paying customer had just stepped through the door. Eventually a kid drifts out from somewhere in the back like he'd been interrupted from something far more important than, you know, running a retail store. I asked for a specific product. His response? "I have no clue what you're talking about." Not "Let me check," not "What brand or style are you looking for?", not even a basic attempt to clarify. Just pure, unhelpful indifference. Here's free advice for whoever is actually supposed to be managing this place: when a customer asks for something you don't immediately recognize, you don't shut the conversation down. You dig. You ask questions. You try to figure out what they want. You write it down so the owner (assuming there is one who gives a damn) can see what people are actually willing to pay for. That is literally how businesses learn what to stock and what to drop. That is how money is made. Treating a customer's request like an inconvenience is how you guarantee they never come back and never recommend you. I started looking around myself because it was clear I wasn't going to get any help. I found some Backwoods that looked interesting and asked a simple, normal sales question: do these sell well? Once again--no clue. Zero product knowledge. Zero interest. The entire interaction felt like I was bothering someone who would rather be anywhere else. Short answers. Flat energy. Zero warmth. No attempt at hospitality, no attempt at salesmanship, no attempt at even basic customer service. It wasn't just unhelpful; it was actively off-putting. This is not a minor staffing hiccup. This is a business being run into the ground by someone who either doesn't know how to hire, doesn't know how to train, or doesn't care enough to do either. A smoke shop is a retail environment. People come in wanting products, recommendations, and a halfway decent experience. When the person behind the counter treats every question like a burden and every customer like an interruption, the store becomes a ghost town. And looking around at the empty floor on a Saturday morning, it is obvious that is exactly what has happened here. Businesses do not survive on product alone. They survive on people who want to be there, who understand the inventory, who treat customers like the reason the lights are on. Hiring someone who clearly does not want to work, who cannot (or will not) answer basic questions, and who makes the experience feel cold and dismissive is a choice. It is a choice that costs sales every single day. It is a choice that tells potential customers the place is not worth their time or money. And it is a choice that leaves a "poor little smoke shop" looking exactly like what it is: poorly managed, poorly staffed, and slowly dying under the weight of its own indifference. Owners: this is not how you run a business. Hire people who actually want the job. Train them. Hold them accountable. Or watch the place stay empty while customers quietly decide never to return.

They're awful. So one day I randomly walked in to Maverick & never looked back. Tall blond "kid" has helped me each time I've been in & has answered all my questions. For instance, I constantly forget what kind of pods my vape takes but he'll glance at it for .5 seconds & knows which ones I need immediately. Zero complaints & I'll continue shopping there.

Seemed like a cool place…read more CIGARETTES I went in there to grab a pack of "American Spirits" -$7 a pack- (not for me, I hate cigarettes). The Indian guy behind the counter was extremely nice, and we even had a lil chat about how credit card companies charge businesses a percentage to use their services. He told me that small business around Perris don't usually take AmeX. While sitting in my car for a bit, right out front in a green "20 Minute Parking" spot, I noticed that several people were going in and out. Seemed like a very popular place. If this place gets a lot of business from the locals, Smoke n Gifts must be doing something right. CIGARS I also noticed that they sell around 8 different types of cigars for around $7ish bucks. "Punch" and some "Churchill's" were what I noticed from a quick glance, not sure about the quality, though they didn't seem like they were in any type of Humidor :/ They have a lot of interesting stuff in there, like a variety of smoking accessories and even hunting knives. Overall, it seemed like an okay place. The person that I got the cigs for said that this place might have been a little pricey for American Spirits, but all I can really say is that the customer service was cool, with plenty of interesting smoking accessories, and it seemed like a popular place for the locals...
