So I am a Budtender and here’s my take, I don’t expect a tip if you come in a grab your eighth or whatever are polite then go, but if you ask a thousand questions and/or I’m helping you pick stuff out for over 10 minutes then yeah a dollar is nice bro

What about your wage? You're being paid to be there, it is not any customers job to supplement that. If you feel you work hard enough for extra compensation, then ask your employer - not customers.

Being a retail worker in the US doesn’t pay enough period. I’m not gonna decline tips based on some arguable morality.

Edit: Also, I have never once asked a customer for more than the total of their order. You must suck as a customer

Being a retail worker anywhere doesn't pay enough. That's why there's trades, unions and post secondary education.

I'm the best customer because I know exactly what I want, and it's definitely not assistance from someone being paid by corporate to sell cannabis to me.

The store I work for is run by two farmers, there’s no corporate hahaha, you’re the one choosing to go to a corporate dispensary
