Kevin was really helpful and patient when it came to us. He was very knowledgeable on the cbd herb and knew witch one were the freshest. I have a disabled girlfriend and he didnt make us feel rushed at all. Also the other Kevin was great as wel! He threw us a lighter and when we said we loved those lighters he gave us another one! Now thats customer service. Its crazy how far something simple goes. I didnt even think to tip them, do they have a tip jar? If so it needs to be bigger.

What a great store! More of an experience than shopping. Great staff. Great eclectic paraphernalia. Beware the free roaming kitties (theyre nice).

Best Planet K. On top of the great vibe, everyone there are genuine top grade people. I once left my wallet here, and after a couple weeks of looking around everywhere I considered it gone.Long story short, Hugo ran all around Austin tracking me down. He finally got my number and contacted me, and I was so relieved. This was in the middle of the pandemic and I was broke and about to have to replace all my cards at that. The wallet was stuffed full of untouched cash and just how I left it. They even refused to let me tip them, just humans being bros.Again, best Planet K.

The staff was rude at this location, I would avoid this location. If you want the best customer service experience with this company I would recommend the guadalupe location

They need to work on their customer service. There’s about one guy who works there who’s not rude. The first time I went was not a great experience so I went elsewhere. Tried again the other day, definitely a waste of time. I definitely don’t feel comfortable asking questions. Checking out is just stressful and overall uncomfortable. The one in East Austin is much better super cool employees.

The girls working were so friendly and knowledgeable. They were very patient while I was asking about a detox and used common sense and respect when answering my questions. They also gave me a flyer with a direct number (no waiting or automated message) that allowed me to talk to a representative from the company about my purchase. This is a great location with a good selection. Highly recommend.

Austins staple for smoking needs and novelty gifts. Everything is pretty overpriced but the staff is cool and I continue to shop here so I gave it 3 stars but I really think Austin could do better.

As always a pleasure doing business with these guys. I hadnt been in this one in years but nothing had changed its just as and warm as ever when you walk in.Their selection of wares is unparalleled.i mean that as a statement about the company itself. Every store is always well stocked and displays are always full. Cant say enough good about planet k. Its obviously owned by the ADHD pot smoking conglomerate... Which is just crazy to me

Ive never hated a head shop before planet k. These people piss me off everytime i have any contact with them. Been avoiding this place like its a plague for years now and just got reminded why i do.

Review №35

The Planet K shop personal treat us rudely and told us to leave the store cause my son was carrying a small plastic toy on his pocket that he previously asked me to get for him and I told him yes, it was $2.95 so why not.. we were shopping still, not ready to pay yet, and all of a sudden a tall blonde lady told me: “your son had this in his pocket, you all gotta leave” I told her that I was going to pay for it and she kept saying “you all gotta leave” We left and didn’t purchased anything of course. We are from Mexico, I felt that she just assumed we were dishonest persons? Idk I just felt so humiliated. I’d understand her attitude if we try to leave the store without paying but we were still there. So disappointed.

Wide range of choices with products beyond the typical scope including disc golf products. Staff is typically pretty helpful, but sometimes hard to find. Next door is the South Austin Popular Culture Museum.

Whatever motivated these people to choose a job in customer service is anyones guess. Rude. Have a question about a product they sell? Youre better off guessing because they dont know either. The guy who helped me identified himself as Ice. Grow up and have a little professionalism about you.

This one is a hit and miss for me; last few times I was here- it was only bumbling arrogant tweens who treat you like trash because you have no side chosen between team Edward or Jacob (I think those were their names in the Twilight saga. But the mature register crew such as Kate, and Gabe (who switched to another location) were awesome, helpful, friendly, and if they jugged you;one would never know - lol, there are like 3 whose names I cannot remember ATM; #soundsaboutrightforthisplace who I dearly love- your best bet is with those over 30 and no time for the vampire/werewolves *only reason I didnt give yall a 5-star rating*

This place has always been my one stop shop considering i used to live in Barton Hills. Whenever i come into town and i need something Id go here. Last two times people have been rude. One time okay maybe youre having a bad day. Second time yall are just rude. Ill start going to oat Willies or the gas pipe. At least they know what the words customer service mean. Even if their stuff is over priced.

It really depends who helps you in the store. I bought a vape pen 3 weeks ago, and was helped by an extremely knowledgeable, friendly, young blonde girl (I wish I could remember her name). She told me, Save your receipt, if you have any issues within 30 days bring it back in and Ill help troubleshoot it with you. (These must have a lot of problems because I did need help, as it would never charge after the first use.) I took my receipt and the pen in the store today looking for help. Talked to the guy at the front, he was nice and said Terry will help you, over there. So I went to Terry, who just could not be bothered to be nice, let alone help me with my pen. She basically just looked at me like Im dumb and told me theres nothing she could do. So, why, when I was sold the pen was I told I could be helped, but now all of the sudden theres nothing that can be done? Seems like Terry just couldnt be bothered. Unfortunate, because I always come to Planet K and pay their HIGH PRICES to support my local store, and awesome people who usually help. Terry however ruined it, and I will never be back. (Thank you to the nice blonde who initially helped me). Someone give Terry a hug.

I have came to this location at least once a week for a year and a half now. Needed a new grinder and some papers. Picked out my grinder and proceeded to go to the checkout counter. When I gave my card, I handed my ID with it as they usually ask so they can make sure the name matches. Never have a ever once been ID’d there. My girlfriend was with me (she is 25 and I am 26). The guy at the counter asked her for her ID. Well, seeing as we literally never get ID’d she didn’t have hers on her. Long story short, they refused to sell to me EVEN when I had my ID on me. We had to drive all the way home to get my gf’s ID and then come back. When I came back I questioned them about why they don’t ID at the door, seeing as it IS a headshop/adult store. Their response was that they don’t have to ID at doors. I find this very hard to believe seeing as it is an adult store as well. Won’t be spending my money here any more and will no longer recommend to any one else.
