Starting the day at The Cake House is like no other work experience. Contrary to what you might initially think, the sweet aroma that fills the air isn’t from freshly baked pastries, but rather the unique scent of quality cannabis. As an employee, I’m surrounded by a warm, welcoming atmosphere that manages to balance professionalism with a touch of whimsy.
Decoding the morning routine
Each day begins with ‘the stock-check’. This isn’t as laborious as it may sound. We get to interact with a variety of cannabis strains, each with its own unique characteristics. It’s like being immersed in a botanical wonderland, one that’s both educational and intriguing.
Navigating client interactions
The part of the day I look forward to most though, is assisting our clients. Aside from the typical jokes we get about ‘getting a sugar high’, our clientele is curious and eager to learn. Educating people about the different strains and their properties never gets old. It reflects the importance of our mission at The Cake House – to introduce people to the rewarding, nuanced world of cannabis.
Ending the day on a high note
The last task of the day is maintaining cleanliness in the store. This is crucial because the space is more than a store – it’s a sanctuary for people from various walks of life. Once everything is clean and shiny, it’s time for closing. Yet, even after a busy day, I often find myself lingering, basking in the gentle glow of the shop as I lock up. I’ve come to realize one incredible thing about working at The Cake House – it surely isn’t your typical job.
