A Day in the Life at Triple M: Behind the Scenes at Our Dispensary
Morning greetings, cannabis enthusiasts! I’m excited to share what a typical day looks like for those of us working at Triple M Dispensary. From the moment we unlock the doors to when we count down the registers, our days are filled with educational opportunities, meaningful customer interactions, and a commitment to cannabis wellness.
6:30 AM: Early Morning Preparations
My alarm goes off before the sun fully rises. After a quick breakfast and coffee, I’m on my way to our dispensary location. As a cannabis retail professional, I take my role in providing safe access to cannabis products seriously, which means starting the day with the right mindset.
7:30 AM: The Pre-Opening Ritual
Once I arrive, my teammates and I begin our opening procedures:
- Reviewing inventory levels across all product categories
- Checking our point-of-sale systems
- Staging educational materials
- Ensuring our displays are properly stocked and labeled
- Conducting a quick team huddle to discuss daily goals and promotions
9:00 AM: Doors Open
The first customers begin to arrive. Some are regulars who know exactly what they want, while others are new to cannabis and seeking guidance. This variety is what makes our work so interesting – no two interactions are exactly alike!
11:00 AM: Patient Consultations
Mid-morning often brings medical cannabis patients who typically have more detailed questions about product effects, dosing, and potential interactions. These conversations are particularly rewarding as they allow us to truly make a difference in someone’s wellness journey.
1:00 PM: Lunch Break & Learning
During my break, I often catch up on the latest cannabis research or product information. Staying educated in this rapidly evolving industry is essential for providing accurate information to our customers.
2:00 PM: Afternoon Rush
The afternoon typically brings our busiest period. We’re answering questions about:
- Different strains and their effects
- Consumption methods
- The difference between THC and CBD products
- New products that have just hit our shelves
- State regulations and compliance requirements
5:00 PM: Inventory Management
As the day winds down, we start reconciling our inventory and preparing restock orders. Ensuring product freshness and availability is a crucial aspect of our quality control processes.
7:00 PM: Community Education
Occasionally, we host evening educational sessions for the community about responsible cannabis use, which are some of my favorite work hours. Watching people gain confidence in making informed decisions about cannabis is incredibly fulfilling.
8:30 PM: Closing Procedures
As we prepare to close, there’s a final push to ensure everything is clean, compliant, and ready for tomorrow. Cash is counted, systems are updated, and we do a final security check before heading home.
Reflections on Working at Triple M
Working in cannabis retail at Triple M isn’t just about transactions – it’s about education, wellness, and being part of a rapidly evolving industry. Each day brings new customers with unique stories and needs, creating an environment that’s both challenging and deeply rewarding.
The most satisfying aspect of my job is knowing that the guidance I provide helps people make informed choices about products that can significantly impact their quality of life. Whether it’s helping someone find relief from chronic pain or simply enhancing their weekend relaxation, these connections make every early morning alarm worthwhile.
Until next time, be well and consume responsibly!
