I hate it when I’m at the store and the employees know nothing about the products being sold.
This is especially frustrating in sporting goods stores when you need help finding various sizes of cleats for your son or daughter who’s getting ready to play baseball or soccer for the first time. Then when you ask for help, they act like it’s the biggest inconvenience in the world for them. This happened to me a few weeks ago and I had to politely ask for a manager after four employees gave me this sort of treatment. The problem is that I hate being confrontational for any reason. I don’t ever want to be that annoying person in the department store screaming for the manager over trivial nonsense. Suffice it to say, if I have to ask for a manager, you know the situation is serious. Unfortunately, I have had to do the same thing at the cannabis dispensary a few times as well. The budenders, or the people who work the registers at the weed store, aren’t always trained enough to give customers good information on the products sold in the store. I have learned a lot more about cannabis by reading various articles on the internet versus asking budtenders questions while I’m purchasing products in the cannabis dispensary. Sometimes they’ll recommend a sativa strain when you ask for something that will simply sedate you and give you no anxiety whatsoever. Or if you ask for a stimulating sativa strain, they’ll give you an indica that knocks you out and puts you to sleep.
