I can’t stand budtenders honestly, like, I’m not looking for your vibes based appraisal of the weed in your store. I want a testing sheet.
I wanna look at a chart listing cannabinoids and cross-reffing them with their Strains.
I don’t want to have to go look on leafly to see if a particular Strain contains Beta-Caryophyline or CBA or CBN. I’m a medical user, I have been doing this long enough I know what cannabinoids to look out for, I just don’t understand why dispos don’t cater to that.
I’m a pretty long time user…how do you even get to the point where you can weigh the effects of each cannabinoid and know which ones best suit you? I don’t even think i can find the cannabinoid profile of buds I buy at the dispensary
For a while I was using URB brand disposables and those list a full cannabinoid profile on them. Pair that with observation of effect and you can build up a list of cannabinoids you agree with
Barring that, go by smell! Lemony means limonene, earthy means pinene, peppery taste and burn means Beta-Caryophyline. These different terpenes and cannabinoids can combine and change the high with the entourage effect. Limonene is often uplifting, found in sativa type strains. Pinene will couchlock you, foind most often in indica type strains. Other cannabinoids are harder to identify by species though, so testing is usually required to identify them, I only know of the one with a strong flavor I can identify by taste.
I’ve been thrilled with my latest regular dispo. It’s run by a super sweet couple and is totally vertically integrated. Its not often you get to chat with the farmer, even less-so being handed a quarter of their newest Strain for free
my general experience is having to navigate a bunch of jargon about imaginary distinctions and stupid names and oils and gummies and waxes and ointments and arbitrary price schedules around them when all i want is a sack of literally whatever bud because there’s no appreciable difference for me and i just want to leave this awkward ass situation and the gentrified hellscape it lives in and get high already. i’m not an enthusiast or a lifestyler im just a fucking pothead, i don’t give a damn and don’t have the energy for that level of crap. i’m glad your experience has been more pleasant.
Just don’t tip, nobody is making you. Some people like to have the option, let them. I will never understand the incessant complaining on payment terminals accepting tips. Press the big red button and move on?
People aren’t complaining about it’s mere existence.
They’re complaining about the fact that its presence inherently implies an expectation to tip. And empathic people that are patronizing a merchant that has any amount of service provided will, when blatantly presented the option to tip, feel obligated to, especially since the person that will be getting the tip is typically staying at them while they complete the process.
Now you can say something like “get over it”, but lots of people don’t like being made to feel like that. Even the ones that do still put their foot down and refuse still don’t enjoy being asked.
I would venture to guess that even people who like tipping enjoy it more when it’s not an obvious option, because offering one at all makes it feel like a grander gesture.
The option to tip has always existed, but making it more streamlined and impossible to auto skip it is just uncomfortable. Not choosing to and intentionally choosing not to are different things, and it makes people uncomfortable.
everyone’s running boilerplate POS software it because it’s a cheap low-effort way to get set up, and it has a tip option built in because it’s usually for restaurants. same as how the EULA for your favorite video game is literally copy-pasted without a thought just so it has one. literally nobody cares if you click “no tip” at the local boutique.
I agree with everything you are saying about the implication and the position it puts people in. I’m not sure that its preferable to always include a tip option.
However, people do complain about its existence. I have worked at places that have a tip option, and people do complain to the worker about the option being there. Nobody working there has asked for the option to be installed, just press “No tip”.

Edit: autocorrupt
Cause then it’s hard to just lie to people and rebrand a strain with a catchy name and make it fly off the shelves.

i hate dispensaries for the opposite reason. i just want some damn weed bro, just fucking pick one and take my money.
even then there’s always something “off” about it and i’d rather smoke someone’s homegrow anyway.
legalization has been really fucking disappointing.

my connection is throttled so i cant watch, is this the simpsons bit with otto buying weed? because that’s me 100.
It’s Grandma’s boy.
“So what kind of weed you want? I’ve got the incredible hulk, I got some of the green monster, I’ve got the bling”
“We go through this every time I come here, I don’t care what it’s called, I just want a bag of fuckin weed”
“Yo chill bro, you know you can’t raise your voice like that once the lion gets here”
oooh, now i gotta watch that movie again. classic.
And then they want a 10% tip for taking a half hour to pull 20 products out of a bin and ring them up.
