For a few weeks our store has been experiencing some troubles with a certain group of customers.
This is uncharted territory for all of us who work here.
In general, a cannabis dispensary is a really chill place to work, for the employees and the customers alike.We deal mostly with potheads, who are a relaxed group of people. We started having these school kids coming into the store, drunk out of their minds, and they would cause a scene.We had a security guard, although he quit because these young people were giving him too much grief. My manager made a bold move, and hired an ex-con named Stan to be the up-to-date cannabis dispensary security guard. Stan made an immediate difference, and suddenly the cannabis dispensary is a fun place to work again. Stan works the front door, like the bouncer at a club, and checks the IDs and cannabis cards for most people who want to come inside. He is so intimidating to look at that nobody wants to mess around and get on his bad side, so all those problem customers found another cannabis dispensary to bother. While he may look scary, Stan is as sweet as honey pie, and has become the most popular guy at the cannabis dispensary. Since Stan is still on parole, he cannot truly indulge in marijuana himself, although he doesn’t seem to mind, however once I asked Stan what he went to jail for, and with a sheepish grin he disclosed it was for robbing a cannabis dealer. I hope the bosses don’t find out!
