6:30 AM – Rise and Shine
The morning begins early when you’re part of the New Standard team. As I drive through the crisp Michigan morning, I can already anticipate the day ahead at our dispensary. The local community has embraced us warmly, and that makes every early start worthwhile.
7:15 AM – Morning Preparations
First order of business: reviewing our inventory system. In the cannabis industry, precision is everything. We meticulously check each product category:
- Flower
- Concentrates
- Edibles
- Topicals
- Accessories
8:45 AM – Team Huddle
Before opening, our morning meeting focuses on daily specials and new products. Knowledge is power in this industry, and staying informed about our offerings helps us provide better service to our guests.
9:00 AM – Doors Open
The morning rush begins. Each customer brings unique needs and questions. Some are experienced consumers, while others are new to cannabis and seeking guidance. Our role isn’t just to sell products; it’s to educate and ensure everyone feels comfortable and informed.
2:00 PM – Afternoon Flow
The afternoon brings a steady stream of regular customers who appreciate our commitment to quality and service. Many have become familiar faces, and building these relationships is perhaps the most rewarding part of working in this growing industry.
Close of Day
As the sun sets on another busy day, I’m reminded why I chose this path. Being part of Michigan’s evolving cannabis landscape while helping people find the products they need makes every day meaningful at New Standard.
