Morning Routine
My day starts with a budtender’s morning ritual – checking inventory, ensuring the dispensary is neat and tidy, and preparing for the day’s customers. As I unlock the doors, I can sense the excitement in the air from our regulars eagerly awaiting their favorite strains.
Welcoming Customers
The first wave of customers trickles in, and I greet them with a warm smile. Some are seeking relief from chronic pain or anxiety, while others are simply looking to unwind after a long day. I take the time to understand their needs and guide them through our selection of cannabis products, from flower to edibles, concentrates, and topicals.
Educating and Advising
- One of the most rewarding aspects of my job is educating customers on the different cannabis strains and their effects. I explain the differences between Sativas, Indicas, and hybrids, helping them find the perfect match for their desired experience.
- For those new to recreational cannabis, I provide guidance on dosing and responsible consumption, ensuring they have a safe and enjoyable experience.
- Throughout the day, I engage in conversations about the latest industry trends, new products, and the ever-evolving cannabis regulations, sharing my knowledge with curious customers.
Community Connections
As the day winds down, I reflect on the connections I’ve made with our diverse customer base. From medical patients seeking relief to recreational enthusiasts exploring new strains, each interaction reminds me of the positive impact our industry has on people’s lives. I leave work with a sense of fulfillment, knowing that tomorrow will bring new opportunities to help others on their cannabis journey.
