A Day at the Frontlines of Cannabis Retail: Working at Blended Buds

Morning Setup – 8:30 AM

The morning begins with our daily inventory check and display setup. Every product needs to be meticulously accounted for – it’s not just about counting stock, but ensuring everything meets strict compliance regulations.

Opening Hours – 10:00 AM

As we open our doors to serve Vernon and the surrounding communities, the first wave of customers typically includes:
– Local regulars seeking their preferred strains
– Medical cannabis patients with specific requirements
– Curious first-timers looking for guidance

Mid-Day Operations

The afternoon rush brings diverse clientele from across the Okanagan Valley. My favorite part of the job is educating customers about:
– Terpene profiles
– Consumption methods
– Dosage recommendations
– Product selection

Community Connection

Working in multiple locations throughout BC’s interior, from Armstrong to Kelowna, we’ve built strong relationships with our local communities. Each area has its unique preferences and customer base.

Evening Wind-Down – 8:00 PM

Before closing, we:
– Reconcile daily sales
– Update our online inventory
– Clean and sanitize all surfaces
– Prepare for tomorrow’s operations

The cannabis retail industry requires attention to detail, extensive product knowledge, and a genuine desire to help people find what works best for them. Every day at Blended Buds brings new opportunities to serve our communities across British Columbia’s beautiful interior region.
