6:30 AM – Starting the Day Right
As a budtender at Altius Dispensary in Round Lake Beach, my day begins well before our first customer arrives. The early morning light filters through the windows as I go through our cannabis inventory with meticulous attention to detail.
8:00 AM – Morning Preparations
Our team huddles for our morning meeting, discussing new products, daily specials, and compliance updates. Working at Altius means staying informed about the latest in cannabis education to better serve our diverse clientele from Kenosha, Waukegan, and surrounding communities.
9:00 AM – Doors Open
The day officially begins as we welcome our first customers. Many are regulars who’ve made the journey from Gurnee or Pleasant Prairie, seeking guidance on products that best suit their needs. Our motto “Change Your Altitude with Altius” isn’t just a catchphrase – it’s our commitment to elevated service.
Key Daily Responsibilities:
- Verifying customer documentation
- Providing detailed product information
- Maintaining strict inventory control
- Ensuring compliance with state regulations
- Creating educational resources for customers
3:00 PM – Peak Hours
The afternoon rush brings visitors from Mundelein and beyond. Each interaction is an opportunity to share knowledge and help customers make informed decisions about their cannabis purchases.
8:00 PM – Closing Time
As we wrap up another day, I reflect on the meaningful connections made and the satisfaction of helping our community access safe, legal cannabis products. Tomorrow brings another opportunity to serve our valued customers with the same dedication and expertise.
Working at Altius isn’t just about cannabis sales – it’s about being part of a growing industry while maintaining the highest standards of service and education for our Illinois and Wisconsin neighbors.
