Last week I was working at the marijuana dispensary and there was an immense problem with the plumbing.
- Someone used the bathroom early in the morning.
It must have been a customer, because no one in the marijuana store seemed to know there was a problem. The problem wasn’t severe, but it was a pretty big mess. One of the clients tried to flush a bunch of paper towels down the toilet and that stopped up the plumbing. The person tried to flush the toilet a couple of times and there was water all over the floor. When the front counter budtender went to the restroom, she found the mess and instantaneously alerted the director. The director brought an immense, heavy-duty plunger from the supply closet. She asked the security officer to get rid of the clog. Unfortunately, the clog was too much for the security guard too. We had to close down the bathroom until a plumbing service supplier could arrive. The clients at the marijuana dispensary were aggravated that the bathroom was closed. We had a lot of complaints and someone threatened to contact a lawyer because our bathroom is supposed to be open to the public. I carefully tried to make the client aware that we were doing everything possible to reopen the lavatory as hastily as possible. Sadly, there are still some clients that were exasperated and aggravated when they left. It’s not as if we ran out of marijuana supplies. We simply had a small issue with the plumbing that needed to be fixed that morning.
