Helping out the aged timers getting their cannabis prescriptions
The concern with working for a major franchise is that you have no freedom or creativity.
Take McDonalds, for example! You can’t have a manager who says “I want my McDonalds to be weird then all the others” because that isn’t how it works.
They are all the same, with the same meny, the same layout, and the same prices. In the rigid structure of a corporate franchise, you can only follow the rules you can’t know outside the box. Now I work for a locally owned cannabis dispensary, and the owners encourage myself and others to be creative and find new ways to help the customers! Our shop is 2 blocks away from the beach, and not too far from a pretty big senior citizen community, so a lot of our medical cannabis corporation goes towards the aged folks. One of my ideas was to provide transportation to and from the cannabis dispensary for some of the older customers! Both of us were not approved for cannabis delivery at that point, however there was nothing stopping us from picking folks up and driving them here! Both of us absolutely hired one of the retirees, a former cabby, to drive a golf cart between the aged folks community and the cannabis dispensary all morning long. Sales started to increase, and the people I was with and I noticed that our dispensary customers were a lot happier with our shop. My next immense idea was to start making cannabis edibles in-house, to cater to the many aged folks who were infirm, and couldn’t handle smoking cannabis. I am always finding new ways to serve our client base.
