I was just refused service because while I was waiting IN STORE I forgot what kind of coil my vape needed (new to vaping) so I hopped on trusty Google to refresh my mind only to be refused service because apparently you cant have your cell phone out in the store. If I may ask what kind of business practice are they following not allowing their customers to use their devices in store. They expect new customers or people new to vaping to memorize their needs? What if they read some great reviews on some juice online and came in to purchase it only to get there and be refused service because they didnt want to sound like an idiot and ask for the wrong thing so they whipped their phone out to make sure what they were going to say was correct. It literally blows my mind. If this is what vapor world has turned into because they can't stop selling to minors good luck. Sucks to suck

Which store were you in? What location? I have found some locations to be very customer oriented and others not so much.

This was at the Republic store that I was refused service. I went to another location to see if they all did that and wasn't ID'd or asked to get off my phone. The inconsistency is wild.

I care and I don’t even go to vape stores. Why would they not allow your phone in the building? Unless they’re hiding government secrets or have delicate equipment that’s an absolutely bizarre policy to have in 2022

Why should it matter, it’s a private business they can do whatever they feel like. Just like Walmart can tell you to get out at any point or target can deny a return. It’s whatever policy’s they would like to use. Don’t like it don’t go there. Or go to one of the other 97 vape shops in town, hell might as well stop by a car wash on the way there.

But it’s a weird policy to have! Surely you can stop corporate bootlicking and derailing a guy’s thread long enough to wonder why they’d have such a weird policy right?

well, I do care and think that this rule is stupid, but what's even stupider is vaping.

Well you can care, but if you don’t vape why does it matter, not your vape shop not your problem.
