A Day in the Life: Budtending at NOXX Cannabis Dispensary
Morning Prep
My day at NOXX begins bright and early at 8:30 AM. I arrive at our 28th Street location in Grand Rapids, MI, ready to prep for another busy day of serving our customers. After clocking in, I join my fellow budtenders for our morning meeting, where we discuss new products, daily specials, and any updates from management.
Opening Time
At 9:00 AM, we open our doors to a line of eager customers. As a budtender, my primary role is to guide patrons through our diverse selection of cannabis products. Whether they’re seeking relief from chronic pain or looking to unwind after a long day, I’m here to help them find the perfect strain or product.
Midday Rush
The lunch hour brings a surge of customers, many stopping by on their breaks. It’s a fast-paced environment, but I love the challenge. I pride myself on efficiently serving each customer while still providing personalized recommendations. Our point-of-sale system at NOXX makes transactions smooth and quick.
Afternoon Lull and Inventory
During the afternoon lull, I take the opportunity to restock shelves and update our inventory. NOXX maintains four dispensary locations across Michigan and Illinois, so keeping our stock organized is crucial. I also use this time to educate myself on new products and brush up on cannabis knowledge.
Evening Wind Down
As the workday comes to a close, we prepare for the evening rush. Many customers stop by after work to pick up their favorite recreational or medicinal products. It’s rewarding to see familiar faces and hear how our products have positively impacted their lives.
Closing Time
At 9:00 PM, we begin our closing procedures. This involves:
- Reconciling cash drawers
- Cleaning and sanitizing the dispensary
- Updating inventory records
- Securing all products in our vault
After a final team huddle to discuss the day’s events and prepare for tomorrow, I clock out, feeling satisfied with another day of helping people at NOXX Cannabis Dispensary.
Working at NOXX is more than just a job – it’s an opportunity to be part of a growing industry and make a positive impact on people’s lives. Whether at our Grand Rapids, East Peoria, or other locations, every day brings new experiences and opportunities to learn.
