Why First Visits Take Longer: - Budtenders spend extra time explaining products - More questions to answer - Paperwork for new customers - This is a GOOD thing—take your time!
How to Speed Up Your Visit: - Order online for pickup (skip the consultation) - Visit during off-peak hours - Know generally what product type you want - Bring cash (debit takes slightly longer)
Best Times to Visit (Shortest Waits): - Tuesday-Thursday, 10am-12pm - Monday-Wednesday afternoons
Return visits are much faster—usually 10-15 minutes once you know what you like!
