6:00 AM – Early Bird Gets the Fresh Stock
As the sun peeks over the New Jersey horizon, I’m already pulling into the parking lot at Benedict’s Supply. The crisp morning air and quiet streets remind me why I love opening shifts at our dispensary. There’s something peaceful about these early moments before the day begins.
7:00 AM – Preparation is Key
The morning routine is essential to ensuring a smooth day:
• Checking inventory systems
• Sanitizing display cases
• Reviewing daily specials
• Setting up point-of-sale stations
• Briefing with the security team
9:00 AM – Doors Open
The familiar chime of our entrance signals the start of another busy day. Our first customers are usually our regulars – familiar faces who appreciate our early hours and consistent service. Many are heading to work themselves, stopping by to replenish their wellness supplies.
12:00 PM – Midday Rush
Lunch hour brings the usual surge of customers. Today’s particularly busy as we’ve just received our new product line. Our team works efficiently, maintaining short wait times while ensuring each customer receives personalized attention and guidance.
3:00 PM – Customer Education
One of the most rewarding parts of my job is helping educate customers about products and compliance. Whether it’s explaining different strains or discussing New Jersey’s regulations, sharing knowledge is crucial in our industry.
5:00 PM – Winding Down
As my shift comes to an end, I help prepare for the evening rush. The day has flown by, as it usually does in this fast-paced environment. Working at Benedict’s Supply isn’t just about transactions – it’s about being part of a growing industry while helping our community access the products they need.
Every day brings something new, whether it’s meeting interesting people or learning about the latest industry developments. It’s this variety that makes working at a dispensary such a unique experience in the Garden State.
