Dispensary etiquette… am I doing something wrong?

3 weeks ago 26

Hi! I’m wondering if anyone could provide any insight here… for context:

there’s a dispensary around my house in nyc that I go to maybe once a week? (Sometimes twice). I typically buy pre rolls or an eighth. My dispensary has been having this 4 for $25 preroll deal which I’ve been vibing with, great price for decent joints. Otherwise I buy my $40-50 eighth and pick a random indica or hybrid they have at the counter. I’m pretty quick in and out, and try to make casual conversation when it’s just me and the bud tender in there (which is most of the time). 95% of the time, I pay with my debit card and then they give me the $4 back. I occasionally put 1-3$ in their tip jar, especially if we had a nice conversation. But quite frankly I walk in and ask for exactly what I want.

I have a question because I’ve dealt with this happening with multiple of their employees, and also the other end of the spectrum. most of the time, they’re super nice at first, and then I ask for what I want, and then just look at me strangely/rudely, especially when we’re waiting for the person in the back to bring up the order. I’ll comment on the song that’s playing or the weather or ask how their day is going and they always provide extremely dry answers, despite being friendly at first. My friend also goes to this dispensary, and tells me how they always tell her she has points or rewards… I’ve never been told this. The other day I asked about it and I had so many points that I didn’t even know existed. I got attitude for asking to use them. I’m just not sure what it is that’s pissing them off. There’s a new girl who works there that’s lovely, explained a bunch of stuff to me without asking and we had a great conversation about tame impala. I walked out being like yay that was finally normal. I hope this makes sense… I am just so curious if there is something I’m doing that’s considered rude… or if it’s cuz I’m cheap…. I’m not in a place to spend hundreds of dollars at their store. And like I said, I do tip occasionally and make sure to be nice. It gives me anxiety going in there now because I’m just expecting the worst. Is it like a sales initiative thing? Is it because I’m a regular? Do I go in too often? Am I crazy??? 😭

I’m not looking for advice. I’m just curious as to what you guys could put together from this, if anything lol. 99% of the time I go in there I’m not high at all!! So it’s not my stoner ass being paranoid 😭
