What are part time budtenders?

Part time budtenders are employees who work less than full-time hours at a dispensary, where they assist customers with selecting cannabis products, provide information on strains and consumption methods, and ensure compliance with local laws. They play a key role in customer service, product knowledge, and maintaining a welcoming dispensary environment. Their flexible schedules make these roles suitable for students or those seeking supplemental income. Part time budtenders may also be responsible for handling cash transactions, restocking shelves, and maintaining cleanliness in the store.
