A Day in the Life of an Uncle Ike’s Budtender


Morning Routine

As the sun rises over the Seattle skyline, I begin my day as a budtender at Uncle Ike’s Central District dispensary. After a quick cup of coffee, I head to the store, ready to greet customers and share my knowledge of the cannabis products we offer.

Opening Duties

  • Check inventory levels and restock shelves
  • Prepare display cases with the day’s featured strains
  • Review new product information and strain profiles

Customer Interactions

As the doors open, a steady stream of customers flows in. Some are regulars, while others are first-time visitors seeking guidance. I take pride in educating them on the various cannabis products we offer, from flower to edibles, concentrates, and topicals. Whether they’re seeking relief from pain or just looking to unwind, I strive to provide a personalized experience.

Lunch Break

During my lunch break, I often venture out to one of the nearby eateries, savoring the vibrant atmosphere of the Central District neighborhood. It’s a chance to recharge and prepare for the afternoon rush.

Closing Duties

  • Restock inventory and tidy up the sales floor
  • Reconcile the day’s sales and prepare reports
  • Discuss any customer feedback or concerns with the team

As the day draws to a close, I leave Uncle Ike’s with a sense of satisfaction, knowing that I’ve helped people navigate the world of cannabis and provided them with a welcoming and educational experience.
