A Morning Rush at New Standard – Tales from a Michigan Budtender


6:30 AM – Rise and Shine

The early morning mist still hangs over Hazel Park as I make my way to work. As a budtender at New Standard, I know the importance of arriving early to prepare for another busy day serving our community.

7:00 AM – Morning Prep

First things first – reviewing our inventory. Today’s menu features an impressive selection of products that we’ll be recommending to our guests. I take time to organize displays and ensure everything is properly labeled and compliant with Michigan regulations.

8:45 AM – Team Huddle

Our morning meeting covers:

  • Daily specials and promotions
  • New product arrivals
  • Compliance updates
  • Customer service reminders

9:00 AM – Doors Open

The morning rush begins as regular customers arrive before their workday. Many are grateful for our convenient location just off I-75, making their stop quick and efficient.

12:00 PM – Lunch Rush

The midday brings a diverse crowd of customers. Some are first-time visitors seeking guidance, while others know exactly what they want. Our team takes pride in providing educational resources and personalized recommendations to ensure everyone finds what they’re looking for.

Reflection

Working at a dispensary isn’t just about sales – it’s about being part of a growing industry that helps people find the products they need. Every day brings new faces and stories, making each shift unique and rewarding in its own way.
