Over the last few months the local homeless population has grown by leaps and bounds.
The last major hurricane ravaged the southern end of the state, and drove a lot of indigent folks farther north, where many of them settled around our town.
I don’t mean to sound uncaring, but when I get asked 15 times a day for spare change it wears on my nerves. What used to be a personal pet peeve has started to impact my work. There is usually a line of clients waiting outside the store, so the homeless people have started to hang out here. The people who visit a cannabis dispensary tend to be kind, and are often stoned, which makes them easy targets. This impacts my business, because so many clients are bothered by the vagrants asking for the money that they have started going to other cannabis dispensaries! I had a brainstorm session with my staff, and we hatched the idea of offering free cannabis delivery for our Platinum customers. This would encourage more people to join our Platinum program, and allow them to order their cannabis products from the comfort of home. It was an elegant solution, and one that paid off huge dividends. Our cannabis sales quickly started to grow, and we added more and more new customers. The convenience of having cannabis delivered to your home was very appealing to our customers. Now foot traffic in the cannabis dispensary is down, but overall our sales are better than ever! I guess this whole situation was a blessing in disguise.
