My alarm goes off at 7:00 am but my day at Altius Dispensary doesn’t start until 10:00 am. This might make you wonder what could possibly take me three hours to prepare for a day at a cannabis store. Well, let’s dive into my routine and you’ll see why this isn’t just a regular job.

Morning Routine

Waking up early provides me ample time to not only start my day on a forward foot, but also to check the latest updates in the cannabis industry. As the leading dispensary in Lake Villa, IL and Mundelein, we at Altius are committed to staying ahead of the curve. Research is a fundamental part of our job, especially given how rapidly this industry changes.

After a shower and a quick breakfast, I set out for work with the resolve to create a positive impact. Working in a dispensary is not just about sales, but about providing a safe, effective remedy to improve our clients’ quality of life.

Upon Arriving at Altius Dispensary

Walking into Altius Dispensary, the modern decor and the welcoming atmosphere always put me at ease. The aroma of cannabis hangs in the air, but it’s the energy of the place that makes it special. Before we open the doors to customers, our team has a brief huddle where we discuss updates, ongoing promotions and any potential challenges that may arise.

Then I do a quick inventory check. As the leading cannabis store in the area, we pride ourselves on consistently stocking numerous strains and varieties to cater to our diverse clientele.

Throughout the Day

Throughout the day, I deal with customers from all walks of life. Some are battling chronic pains, some are fighting anxiety, while others are simply looking to wind down after a long day. My role is to guide them through their cannabis journey, answering any questions and ensuring they find the right product. The joy in their faces when they find a strain that aids their needs, the gratitude they express, is the most fulfilling part of my job.

After a long but fulfilling day at work, I head home knowing I’ve made a difference in people’s lives. Altius Dispensary isn’t just a place for buying cannabis; it is an institution dedicated to improving lives, one customer at a time, and I am proud to be a part of it.
