Kroger’s Post

Looks like the move to automation will be accelerated. Wow, fast food workers get paid more hourly than medical doctors in residency training! The reason is that medical doctors don't advocate enough for themselves. But hey, we are all heroes, so it's ok right? #fastfood #laborcosts #medicaleducation #doctorlife #doctorjobs #physicianburnout #physicianwellness #physicianwellbeing #ama #doctorslife #residencyprogram #residency #physicianleadership

Some thoughts/observations about what Illinois dispensaries could be doing (but probably aren't): 1. Making sure their online menus provide every bit of information possible on a product. You want me to spend how much on something I can't touch until after I've bought it? Please pay someone to keep your Dutchie/Jane/Trees up to date with proper pics, strain info, mg per piece, cannabinoid info, etc.* 2. Keeping canna beverages and concentrates in a fridge/cooler. I'll never forget shopping a legacy market spot in the STL when the person helping me's eyes almost fell out of her head when I said I didn't know a single IL dispensary keeping their concentrates cold. I'd never thought about it, but it just makes sense. 3. Training their budtenders with basics of helping different types of customers. In the more rural places of downstate, the variety and needs/wants of customers can be pretty wild. Train budtenders on what to expect in different scenarios, how to best help, or how to defer to someone else who might know more. 4. Keeping products on the menu that are roughly $10 including tax. This can be a couple of prerolls, the new super potent single gummies that have been hitting shelves, a canna beverage or two, and (in dream land) even a disposable vape or a cart. Why? A customer in the door is a customer in the door and if someone needs a little lunch break pick-me-up preroll, why not? Gatekeeping cannabis for only those that can spend $25+ on a purchase is just goofy, get real. 5. Hiring passionate, engaged, hard workers who aren't just there for the samples and paying them accordingly. A 5 hours a week, minimum wage-making part-time employee can't be expected to be up to date on all the newest products, strains, gadgets, and gizmos and therefore the customers' experience suffers. 6. Using social media like it's a life preserver in the ocean BECAUSE IT IS. There are maybe 4-5 dispensaries in downstate doing this right and one independent site in the Metro East specifically that I point everyone to. Social media, marketing, and event planning is an entirely different role (technically they should be three separate roles but baby steps). Stop skimping out and "saving money" by not paying someone to handle this as a separate role because you are definitely missing out on customers that might make an extra drive for a sale or specific strain. 7. Researching their cultivators. Ask loads of questions. Do they have their own grow? If not, where does their product come from? Does it come from that company every time, most of the time, or from different places every time you order? How do they handle their harvests, concentrates, etc? You don't have to and shouldn't just buy from everyone. Customers, especially older folks, want consistency. They want to get the same thing every time and have the same effects every time. Brand houses that just sell whatever they can get their hands on can't provide this experience.

How do we cater to so many roles? Well, they all require a common education so we design our courses to provide that, but contextualize the information to each role's context. We also use what we call a Common Language - more on that soon!)

Checkout this article about Walmart. Front line managers are the unsung heroes of many industries, including healthcare and food service. Their daily operations and compliance responsibilities are crucial to the organization's success. It's no secret that keeping employees on track can be a full-time job in itself. That's where we come in. By creating streamlined workflows, adding automated enhancements, and providing hands-on training and support, we can help these managers and staff achieve success. After all, employees are the internal customers of an organization, and their experience is just as crucial as that of the end consumer. Let's work together to support and empower our front line managers. They deserve the tools and resources necessary to thrive in their roles, and we're here to provide them.

Spicy Take: Retail pharmacy can be enjoyable. Before the pitchforks are thrown, hear me out. The state of retail pharmacy is not healthy. It’s downright cancerous in some places. The vast majority of retail chain pharmacy jobs are not desirable situations (hence why bonuses were implemented to bribe #pharmacists into these tough jobs). Retail burnout ranges from 50-70%. However, there are happy pharmacists in certain retail pharmacy settings. I just spoke with Rebekah Mahoney, PharmD, who got into a great manager role at an independent pharmacy. (Congrats Eric M., she shared you did a great job! Plus, she scored an extra week of vacation). Here’s what pharmacists say is present when they enjoy retail: - Supportive management - manageable workload - proper staffing and available technicians The opposite factors create burnout and job dissatisfaction. The walkouts and great people like Bled Tanoe, PharmD, and Anaïs Mennuti are working to change that. But in the meantime, it’s possible to find a better retail job or jobs outside of retail. If you wanna talk, disagree, or just offload the stress of work, just DM me.

Last weekend I went to snag an OZ of Cresco's High Supply Double Trouble Sativa at Sunnyside Wrigley (my old stomping grounds!) 😜. Here's what I noticed... 💚 The dispensary really had the flow down to a science at one of the busiest locations in the city. As a medical patient, it was about 5 MINUTES from ID scan to check-out. 💚 The Budtenders were knowledgeable, upbeat and efficient - I even had trouble with my account, which they quickly corrected for me. 💚 I left feeling noticeably uplifted (and not just because I had a fat sack of weed in tow..) 💚 Employees who feel confident in their systems and products will WORK better, FEEL better, and SELL better. "Nearly 80% of American consumers point to speed, convenience, knowledgeable help and friendly service as the most important elements of a positive customer experience." - According to PwC --> Your team ultimately hold the cards for your branded customer experience. Give them the tools to WIN! . . . #Budtendereducation #ChicagoDispensaries #CustomerExperience #CustomerService #traininganddevelopment Cresco Labs
