I had to educate myself when I became a weed budtender

Most workplaces will train you passablely enough to give you the tools plus information needed to hold down a job in their facilities.

This was the case with all of the retail work I had in high school and college.

As irritating as it was to hold down a job in a superstore, at least they trained me and others enough where I was wandering around care about a moron everyday no knowing what I’m supposed to do. When I waited tables at steakhouses the manager provided myself and others the menu to take a condo plus learn while explaining all of the food swings offered. If a customer asked myself and others about the specials, I knew instantly what was offered each individual day. This all changed when I left the food maintenance industry to hold down a job in my state’s nascent medical marijuana industry. For years I dreamed about someday working in a medical cannabis dispensary. However, things didn’t exactly turn out as I initially expected. It was terrible from day one because both of us were regularly blamed by patients if a product was out of stock or if there were any issues related to their online order. I expected the marijuana dispensary to train myself and others about the products they carry even though I wasn’t even given the time to learn while I was at work. Since I didn’t want to disappoint patients asking for my help plus assistance with the products sold at the dispensary, I had to educate myself in my freetime to be a better budtender. I spent a lot of time on Leafly plus Allbud to learn about cannabis genetics plus many products sold in cannabis dispensaries.
