A Day in the Life: Behind the Counter at Arts District Cannabis
Morning: Opening the Store
My day at Arts District Cannabis begins early. As I arrive at our East Los Angeles location, I’m greeted by the familiar scent of our product lineup. After a quick team huddle, we prepare for the day ahead, ensuring our displays are stocked and our systems are ready for our first customers.
Mid-Morning: Assisting Customers
As the doors open, we welcome a steady stream of visitors. Many are regulars, while others are first-timers looking for guidance. I spend time educating a newcomer about different strains and their effects, helping them find the perfect product for their needs. It’s rewarding to see customers leave satisfied, knowing they’ll find relief or enjoyment from their purchases.
Afternoon: Inventory Management
During a lull, I take the opportunity to update our inventory. Working at a marijuana dispensary means staying on top of our stock is crucial. I check our supply of:
- Flower varieties
- Edibles
- Concentrates
- Topicals
I also make note of which products are popular in our South Gate and Alhambra locations, ensuring we’re well-stocked across all our stores.
Evening: Community Outreach
As the day winds down, I participate in a team meeting about our upcoming community event in Montebello. Arts District Cannabis is committed to educating the public about responsible cannabis use and its benefits. We’re planning a workshop that will cover topics like local regulations and the medicinal applications of marijuana.
Closing Time: Reflection
As I lock up the store, I reflect on the day. Working in a cannabis store is more than just retail – it’s about education, community, and helping people find what they need. Whether it’s a customer from Monterey Park looking for pain relief or a Huntington Park resident curious about recreational use, every interaction is an opportunity to make a positive impact.
From East Los Angeles to South Gate, our team at Arts District Cannabis is proud to serve our community, one customer at a time.
