![]() Quite the contrast.Beyond Hello Dispensaries About Beyond Hello Dispensariesīeyond Hello, operated by Jushi, is quickly becoming a favorite dispensary in the 6 states they operate in. Ironically, when I told the lovely girl at the front desk that I was having trouble hearing her, it led to a brief but enjoyable conversation. They had in stock what they advertised, so I was in and out of there in well under 10 minutes. To my surprise, it's a beautiful space with some of the nicest people I've met in a long time. I checked their site and found they have an enormous inventory so they must have more room than I was imagining. I'd been in that space before it was Ethos so I was expecting a very cramped experience. Tonight, I tried one of their competitors, a place called Ethos at 807 Locust St. ![]() If she felt the least bit sorry for the inconvenience, she was being a real trouper about it. ![]() Matters not what the website says, nor that the mouth of that very RBF had told me that it was in stock. After a couple minutes, she called me back to the window (again, not speaking loudly enough) to tell me that actually, they were sold out. Forging ahead, she said they actually had two options available (like an eighth and a dime or whatever) which made her seem possibly more human: Could she sense that I didn't want to purchase the large quantity that was advertised on their website? I said I'd take the smaller amount and then she told me to take a seat and my purchase would be brought to me. (I enjoy music in a shop and in fact, they play pretty good music here, but not sure why it has to be quite that loud.) When I asked her to repeat herself, the eyeroll to end all eyerolls let me know that she and I were never going to take a cruise together. She gave me a RBF that clearly said "I don't have time for this." I asked about a particular strain-which their website said was in stock at this location-but I couldn't hear her because (a) she wasn't speaking loudly enough and (b) the music was pretty loud in there. I began by explaining that I'm new to this, a defense mechanism in case I ended up asking her a stupid question. On my second visit (Sunday, around 5:30 pm), the woman at the front desk was surprisingly rude. ![]() If you have time to waste after placing an online order and having to still wait over 30 minutes this place is right for you I only came because Herbology was out of flowers so this place was a convenience run which has turned into an inconvenience. Not anymore especially when my money does the same thing as everyone else's money. As a black woman we are used to being overlooked. The brown/black patrons were all kind of sitting in the waiting area to be served. Why am I reminding you of my place? Isn't there a system in place for COVID? I watched the white patrons served with efficiency and care and even addressed by there name. It's disturbing when you have to assert yourself to the staff that's there to serve you. This was my second time and I'm not sure if I'll be back. Somebody like myself who may only purchase a few grams was overlooked. The pharmacist and the sales associates are serving the larger orders. After standing in line for 20 minutes outside then finally once I got inside the order of the line was gone. I watched nepotism at its finest yesterday.
