Not helpful. No warranty on broken products. ‘These cheap things come from China, I can’t warranty them’

I always receive good service, but today will be the last time I visit until after the covid-19 pandemic. I felt extremely uncomfortable that an employee got within 6 ft of me without covering their nose with a mask. Masks dont work if they are not covering both nose and mouth. Really sad that one of my favorite locally owned businesses are not working to prevent the spread of covid-19.

The staff is Not helpful, and seem unknowable about products or how to assist customers. they are as unwelcoming as a plague. I couldnt have left fast enough. the first time I went in for a product they couldnt stop laughing at me like a bunch of children so I left and purchased elsewhere. the second time I went in to get an anniversary gift for my boyfriend, I asked a question and the guy stood there in silence. I asked again in another way thinking maybe he didnt know it was a question once more silence, so I turned and walked out again and purchase at another establishment. I gave it two (2) stars because it is a local establishment, I think it could be great if they got some hard core training on how to behave and conduct themselves as knowledgable staff. I also notice its all men working here and I dont think it would hurt to get some professional training on how to treat/assist women customers and staff members. Women dont want to be laughed at or treated like garbage or like we dont know anything, we can take our business elsewhere I feel like with proper training this business would see way more profit and that means more money for them and the employees and the community as well.

They have a really nice collection of glass. Theres two other pipe shops on the street but as far as selection and price go, this one wins hands down. If youre looking for a piece, this place has it going on.

BUYERS BEWARE!!!Just want to leave this here. Many years in customer service I know how good customer service works. This place has zero of the that. Experience: Yesterday I went to the downtown location and dealt first hand with a man who said he was the owner and deals with buying all the merch. His vibe was the I dont care if you shop here or not, Im going to help you the least possible I was searching for a Nectar collector, I drove all the way from Bronson to downtown Gainesville to purchase one. I wanted one with a water filter, they said they had a couple. I got to the shop and the product was definitely not what I was looking for but I decided to give it a try. The whole experience was off putting down to the check out where the owner passed me on to the cashier. The owner wrapped my glass peice in a single paper bag with no protection. I kindly asked for bubble wrap because I was driving far the cashier acted like yeah thats the boss for ya I purchased and left. Hours later I try the piece out and what do you know it doesnt even hold water from dripping down the tip and after the first use the tip became loose and had no seal. So today I wanted to let them know about the product being faulty and not as advertised. No one at all three stores could help me nor did they want to. They told me he will b in on Monday you have to deal with him downtown. Called all three stores no one could help or tell me how to get in touch with him. So let me get this straight, 3 stores and not one of them has a manager that can handle these problems? One guy told me thats the boss for ya when I mentioned it was funny the only person who can help doesnt seem to o be available. Then went on to tell me he is retired. Well great hire someone to do customer service, train your staff, and rid of the its not my problem attitude that seems to be popular among the employees. Every piece I have purchased in the past 3 years came from modern age. No more, I will not be returning unless this gets resolved.

Was treated very poorly over the phone.. I was hung up on, after simply asking one question. They sounded very aggressive & I’ve heard rumors of them being aggressive towards customers in the past and this conversation proved that. Will no longer be shopping at modern age. I prefer other shops in town with better customer service & prices.

Would give zero stars if I could. TERRIBLE customer service. Beyond rude. Talks to you like youre a child (and I have heard MANY people say the same thing) Inconsistent. Rude. (They have nice stuff but I will not be returning). Once again, RUDE.

High prices!!! Bought a glass piece from them and it broke in the first week I owned it after accidentally dropping it on a couch cushion. They dont make the glass, but it leaves a bad taste in your mouth for that to happen!

Review №67

One of my favorite stores. They have everything you need and the staff is always so helpful. Never have we had bad customer service, onetime too much was said so they couldnt help us. We came back the next day and had no problems. Its all about what you say and how you say it. They have a business/company to protect and as a business owner myself, I understand that. These guys are great. From the owners to the employees, they know what they are talking about, so take note and listen you might learn a few things.

Out of all local tobacco shops this is the best option for variety, there’s a reason they have been a staple name in Gainesville for over 30+ years. There is a notable up charge on products but that’s standard. The staff are relaxed and professional.

Review №78

Very cool painting on the building inside and out. Inside you can find tons of different items from Rolling paper, ecigs, pipes, hookahs,CBD Oil, incense, and a whole plethora of other related materials/products. The selection there was outstanding, the customer service however left very much to be desired, probably because there really wasnt any! There were 3 people behind the counter who all were just hanging out and pretty much ignored me for about 15 minutes. At which point my fiance had to go down to where they were hanging out and ask if one of them could come help me. Then when the guy did come he really wasnt much help at all any way. He sold me a Mini Vape for $20 that he swore could use the $40 CBD oil that I was buying. And what ended up happening was I spent $20 on a piece of junk that cant even handle the thinnest of vape oils let alone the $40 CBD oil I purchased! So essentially it was a wasted total of $60+tx and my time.

I just moved here for school and visited this shop this past weekend. Not a good first impression, No one wanted to get up to help me so I went across the street. If you want to keep customers you might want to get up and offer help.

Decent, clean place. Came in to get a few cigars. And endured a firm ass chewing for making a joke alluding to my buddy using a grinder for something other than tobacco. Guy was cool before that. Other than that little confrontation, good service and product selection.
