A Budtender’s Journey: 24 Hours at Simplicity Dispensary

Rise and Shine: The Morning Routine

As the sun peeks through my curtains, I stretch and prepare for another exciting day at Simplicity Dispensary in Grafton, MA. Our recreational cannabis shop has become a cornerstone of the community, and I’m proud to be a part of it.

6:30 AM: Wake Up and Prepare

  • Quick shower and breakfast
  • Review today’s new products and promotions
  • Double-check my uniform is clean and pressed

8:00 AM: Arrive at the Dispensary

I arrive early to help set up for the day. We always ensure our display cases are spotless and our product information is up-to-date. Safety and compliance are our top priorities, so we double-check all security measures before opening.

The Heart of the Day: Serving Our Customers

9:00 AM – 5:00 PM: Customer Service Excellence

Our doors open, and the day truly begins. As a budtender, my role is to:

  • Greet customers warmly and check their IDs
  • Provide knowledgeable advice on strains and products
  • Ensure a safe and enjoyable shopping experience
  • Keep the sales floor tidy and well-stocked

One of the most rewarding aspects of my job is educating customers about cannabis. Whether they’re first-time users or experienced enthusiasts, there’s always something new to learn in this rapidly evolving industry.

Winding Down: Closing Time

5:00 PM – 6:00 PM: End-of-Day Procedures

As we approach closing time, we begin our nightly routine:

  • Reconcile sales and inventory
  • Clean and sanitize all surfaces
  • Secure products in our state-of-the-art vault
  • Team debrief on the day’s successes and challenges

Reflection: The Drive Home

On my way home, I often reflect on the positive impact we have on our customers’ lives. From helping someone find relief from chronic pain to recommending the perfect strain for a relaxing evening, every interaction at Simplicity Dispensary is an opportunity to make a difference.

Working in the cannabis industry is more than just a job – it’s a passion. And at Simplicity Dispensary in Grafton, MA, we’re not just selling a product; we’re fostering a community and shaping the future of recreational cannabis one customer at a time.
