Cabbage Patch membership has been painful to navigate, bar codes don't work for cashiers who end up having to manually enter information, discounts can't be seen and managers are often called. Instead of Improving the service, Zen Leaf has decided to discontinue the service. I feel like such a guinea pig. Please create a separate experience (room or cash register) for medical patients and so you don't piss off recreational users who appear to be the bulk of customers coming in.

WATCH OUT FOR THEIR INACCURATE WEBSITE!!!As a medical user with significant health issues after a…read morebrain injury, I already didn't love this place. Their set-up makes it clear they value recreational users way more than medical users. Unfortunately, that seems true everywhere I've gone (other than GreenGate, but now they are a Zen Leaf dispensary like this place, which was MedMen and is now Zen Leaf too). On my last visit here, in my preorder, I picked two products according to their website description: - Innocent 1:1:1 Dark Chocolate Cherries (which I've purchased many times at GreenGate, and are supposed to be 1:1:1 THC:CBD:CBN. This is important for me as I am trying to have the benefit of THC without the high of THC, and both CBD and CBN reduce THC's "high" feeling and CBN also helps with sleep, which I need. I even discussed with my bud tender how excited I was about the cherries, including discussing the CBN they had) - Sky Walker Live Sugar Wax (which I picked because the strain is excellent for nerve pain, and because it was a wax, I can lack coordination and always pick thicker, more solid concentrates so I'm able to break it apart and use it without spilling or wasting it) But instead of the items the website said I was purchasing, I got THC only cherries, and a Live Resin Sugar which is soupy and impossible for me to use. I even let them know my issue with the wax before I left (as soon as I realized it, which I found out from the bud tender as soon as I paid). The manager was completely unapologetic for the mislabeling and only offered to discount me if I wanted to buy something else (um, no, I'm not rewarding their f-up by giving them more money, thanks). I didn't realize the issue with the Cherries until I got home, wrote them an email and sent pictures and have heard... nothing. Wow. I just spent almost $300 at this place (which is a big order for me and needed to last a while), and tipped the bud tender $20 before I realized I'd been screwed. I now have $93 of product that won't work for my medical needs, and they can't even be bothered to respond. So now IDPH has received an email to alert them to multiple mislabeled products at this dispensary. Hoping that will get this place to do a better job, not that I'll ever spend another dime there. F this place! (& I don't feel bad at all saying so)

There is always a reason you are paying cheap prices for cannabis. You know the "free" products they act so gracious about giving to? Look at the expiration dates Yeah, only newbies don't know about this and this place argues none of their products are old. HA!! I've gotten some of the oldest weed from here and here is a free candy bar I got yesterday - EXPIRES TOMORROW. Ha check your expirations dates at this place. Not that there's any Genuine cannabis enthusiasts that shop here, or care about quality or genetics. But old budtenders in the game know free products are "free" for a reason. Shitty weed, something they can't sell or move or it's expired. You're welcome

I added what I wanted and you receive a text to go to the counter. I did, and a woman at the register said "I'll be right with you, one sec" so I stood back a few feet. During this time a few other folks came in, and a different woman at another register (with a Karen haircut) made a weird comment about me not being in line. I said "I didn't know there was a line" and she told me "Well, there is! It's over there but I'll let you go this one time, I guess". I was very confused... was she trying to funny? She certainly was failing, if so. I found her to be quite rude. She continued to chastise me as she rang me up. I guess in the weed business, they don't have to be nice to the customer? She made a face and said "Uh, I need your ID...?" I said "Oh, ok. You didn't ask me for it..." She said "I didn't. You were talking" So, I hear you loud and clear Curaleaf- you don't want my business. I'll go elsewhere. Gotcha Also, the prices online/at the kiosk are "estimates" and can change by the time you get to the register, which I find very odd. Also, if you have to use an ATM card, they have this absolutely bizarre practice of having to round up and then give you change. So, my order came to $36.53, they rounded up to $40, and handed me change (and then explained the $3.50 ATM fee). Since other dispensaries sell the exact same product, why go to a place that is consistently weird and treats you like this? I'll be heading to a different dispensary for my next purchase, thank you very much.
