Hippie Hut Smoke Shop - Campus — Attraction in Columbus

Drove 30 minutes to come here because I heard great things. I sent my 13 year old son and 14 year old daughter to get a shake next door so I can take my time shopping in the smoke shop. Immediately when I pulled up we were met with yelling, telling us not to park there and to read the sign. I hadn’t even exited the car yet, so the yelling was directed at my kids who were already out and headed to the shake shop. Not only was that highly unprofessional but extremely disrespectful to teens that did nothing. This infuriated me, but it also made me completely uninterested in going inside and buying anything. To make matters worse, someone approached my car asking me to leave. I explained what happened and how upsetting it was to hear my kids getting yelled at when I was heading to their shop. I expressed my now disinterested in going in now and the fact that yelling at kids was unacceptable.

I understand the area of town, the owners probably face that challenge constantly. But the delivery was uncalled for when I was there briefly and it’s a deterrent to ever shop there. Also, the group of bikers they allow to hang out and drink out front added to the situation by cursing and yelling for me to leave. All of it was unnecessary and disappointing and because of it, I will never return.

I’m definitely not from here. I moved here from Vegas about a year ago. I wanted to find a smoke shop that I can make my regular location, but this whole interaction was ghetto...

If I could give 0 stars I would. Yesterday, I had the opportunity to visit a store for the first time, and unfortunately, I encountered a rather distressing situation involving two employees. Throughout my time in the store, I found myself subjected to persistent and unwarranted attention from these individuals. Despite the fact that I was simply browsing through scents, they repeatedly approached me, posing the question of whether I needed assistance. Their inquiries were incessant, reaching a count of over ten within a mere ten-minute span. Furthermore, their approach extended beyond a reasonable distance, as they stepped away from their designated areas and asked me up close if I required any help, despite the fact that I was merely examining scents displayed openly. I found this behavior highly unnecessary, bordering on excessive. If this can be considered an intentional form of harassment, it is crucial for the establishment's management to reevaluate their sales tactics. The incessant repetition of the same inquiry within such a short timeframe was not only bothersome but also detracted from my overall...

I started coming to this store since it opened up close to my home. It is a very nice store, stocked with up to date products & helpful, friendly employees that make it a nice environment and easy to shop. However, after my car was towed as a customer while making my purchase after 30-45 minutes of shopping, I unfortunately don’t think I will recommend this place again. Hippie Hut said they would vouch for me, but when I got to Hound Dogs Towing company they made me pay the impound fees, despite the fact I was there shopping at Hippie Hut. As a patron who enjoys spending money at Hippie Hut, it frustrates me that I don’t have this kind of issue at any other shop. It should be a given, simply due to the location of Hippie Hut itself, that people will shop there and walk across the street to other shops on High Street. If you’re shopping here DO NOT park in the lot there if you’re going to be longer than 5-10 minutes because you will be towed, you will pay the impound fees and you’ll probably have a terrible experience at Hound...
