Customer Reviews
Laura used to be my favorite representative to go to however, today she belittled me degraded me and humiliated me in front of the customers employees oh and God forbid you ask any question About a discount (If you don’t spend $200, she will make you feel like you’re poor ) They first say oh yeah, come on in we’ll help you out please she will Only give you one it will be the last time! Don’t worry, it will be the last time because I will not be there again!, I know I won’t be missed. It was clear as day. Thanks for making your customers feel great and I was a good customer to you all! Also, I asked for my points to be applied since you have such a great point system and you guys couldn’t even give me my five dollars off!!! Good and if I could do a -0 I would! I have never been more humiliated
Today I visited the Sarasota location. Laura was my tender. She was absolutely terrific! Extremely knowledgeable, with a very spunky personality to go with it. I've been coming here for years and have always had a wonderful experience.Thank you for another great experience! I will absolutely be back.
I love going to Sunnyside not only do they have great product, but their staff is unbelievably friendly and awesome. Laura and Forrest are great and so is everybody else! I can go in there and chat with them like I’ve known any of them forever! They are very knowledgeable about the product they sell and just make you feel unbelievably welcome every time!!!
My first experience there was great thanks to Laura. She was very patient and help me with my indecisiveness. Also, Stephen and Forest was really great and funny. They did not rush me and when I bought my friend back for her first time they were very helpful. Great conversation and they have great deals we received holiday scratch off’s, and other goodies. Plus cute stickers you all were awesome will be back. Ps, The whole staff can join in me and my best friends new Charlie’s Angels group anytime. 😁
Always very nice and welcoming, Vanessa and Laura were super helpful when I was unsure of what to get and also recommended I try the Caribbean Queen mean streak pre-roll which I did end up loving!
