Also do you generally enjoy the work compared to other retail?

excuse you, it's a dollar general that is next to the weed store. Then the other weed store is next to that.

parkinglot is a car that sells used golfballs by having a bunch of golfballs on the hood of their car or strawberries from a wooden sign that says 'strawberries" that their daughter drew in 1992

What is you're next to an ax-throwing restaurant and a Hobby Lobby?

They go out after their shifts and battle it out like the newscasters on Anchorman. I really hope this is their answer.

Weed store employee here

Its good to be neighborly to your neighbors, regardless.

no lmao the closest weed store to mine is a highbrow and i get told stories about how they’re stealing from their customers. both because the prices are so high and because they literally will steal a bit from the weed people buy

Some of them it's more a personal thing like I'm friends with some of my neighbors and I'm not friends with others and like there's that one guy on the street everyone hates

I used to buy there lol. I always thought it was hilarious that it was right next door to Hobby Lobby. The pearl clutching that must have gone on in there when you guys opened.............

Brother, you have no idea. Some people are really cool, but some of the worst people I've dealt with in retail have been in cannabis. People that are too dumb to understand we aren't a trap house and have rules and laws we have to follow. As well as people that think the people working at the store are for whatever reason responsible for the strains we have.

A lot of nuts that think that we're watching them to report them to the DEA or Maine state government. It's unreal the stupidity.

Brother you'd think that

I've been yelled at that my scales are off, that I'm shorting people, that I'm ripping people off, all sorts of shit

Its to the point that when someone's nice to me and doesn't just bark out their order I start sliding them discounts and freebies for not sucking ass

What about the people who work in the weed store located in the bathroom of another weed store? (Old Starbuck's joke repurposed)

Working in the manufacturing and grow aspect of marijuana is definitely where its at over the retail aspect unless you are more of a people person. It's certainly great to have friends in the weed shop next door to hear what's going on for deals and new items hitting the shelf so you get the heads up

Is that why they're always throwing in free prerolls on my order? I'm old man, I can't take a whole joint of this modern weed. Anything more than my old sneakatoke and my ass is macrame-d into the sofa for the rest of the day, and I have shit to do! (see: old.)

the two weed stores I go to have great locations. I can get an eddie, catch a movie then get my grocery shopping done at one and the other I can stop in at best buy then grab a keef soda and walk to the bookstore

Hey there I’m just a patient (not one of the first in Maine) and the legislature is hearing LD 94 today, and it’s a really bad bill for the industry and for the patients. It would make the Cannabis refugee situation worse because it would impose a thirty day residency requirement for children under 18, and ban concentrates from the medical program and limits who can write a recommendation. Please do write to the Veterans and Legal Affairs Committee and call your local representative to educate them about why they should oppose LD 94!

They go out back by the dumpsters and fight it out to song like West Side Story.

I always imagined feuds between rival weed stores would have "smoke outs". Kind of like a shootout, but it's two groups just aggressively blowing their own stores weed smoke at each other

You can thank weed itself for me having ever thought about this in the first place

The states full of opportunities, it's weird to get your foot in the door, admittedly. I know some of the bigger grows post their shit on indeed when they're hiring, you could go that way.

I'm on the retail end, the pay is a lot better than what I was getting, i don't have a dress code, nobody's expecting me to yes sir no sir

And I get to smoke at work.

This is the scene in my head as employees at the Farm Stand and Blossom in Saco end their day. Eyeing each other across the street through bloodshot eyes amidst clouds of cool looking “smoke”. Then out of nowhere- a trident goes through the air…

I too have noticed that asking for something that explicitly does NOT get me shitfaced has resulted in some amazing customer service. As a bartender, when someone asks me for "something strong," I roll my eyes and give a standard pour of whatever.

What’s weird about it? Their family owns G&M market ( literally named after the owners kids Greg and Matt, Greg being the business end of the weed shop and Matt being the the weed ) but they own S&S, Brothers, G&M, Stompers and an amatos that they renovated into a 3rd brothers location, successful business people aren’t limited to one venture lol

It was a joke about people high on marijuana throwing axes while under the influence of the cannabis cigarettes. The joke is that the guy owns a place to get people high, a place to throw dangerous sharp axes, and also owns a place that sells things to the stoned people who lost fingers or cut off a limb while axe throwing under the influence of cannabijuana.

Imagine that your favorite corn chip manufacturer also owned the number one diarrhea medication.

There are more weed stores here than there are Dunkin's. I don't want to hear people bitching how there are so many of the latter anymore.

I’m more interested in how you get paid. I thought most banks won’t take money from dispensaries. How do you handle taxes?

The stretch of route 4 in Wilton too (population less than 4k), in just a couple of miles there are at least 4, and another getting ready to open. I don’t get how they can all compete that close to each other, but it’s been years now. They should rename it route 420.
