FAQs

How much should you tip a budtender at a dispensary? ›

We recommend tipping your budtender the same way you would tip a bartender: around 10 - 20% of your total bill. Why? Budtenders and bartenders are similar when it comes to providing knowledge and customer service.

Tipping is a common practice in dispensaries as budtenders provide a valuable service. If you're unsure about tipping etiquette or don't see a tip jar, don't hesitate to ask your budtender for guidance. Recognizing their expertise and assistance with a tip is appreciated and helps support the staff.

According to the data, Flower, which is “traditional” marijuana bud, is still the most popular product with 49% of transactions compared to only 13% for Edibles, the next highest.

Curaleaf is a true behemoth in the cannabis industry, with a staggering 101 dispensaries across 23 states. As the largest cannabis company by revenue, it's clear that Curaleaf has found a winning formula. However, it's not just their deep pockets that have led to their success.

Work Can Be Stressful When You Have To Multitask

There are a few reasons why multitasking can be so difficult for budtenders. First of all, they are constantly bombarded with questions from customers. While most questions are simple and can be easily answered, some may require more thought and research.

Cannabis infusions can be baked goods, drinks, and the most popular treat, gummies. Although edibles are one of the most potent ways to consume cannabis, it can take up to an hour to feel the onset effects, so it's best to start with small dosages. If you're new to edibles, 1906's Chill is a great introduction.

Each location decides how to distribute the budtender tips. For some dispensaries, tips are collected and divided evenly among all employees for that shift. In some places, you are allowed to keep the tips you specifically earn. Some dispensaries refuse to accept tips at all.

Japan. Unlike Spain, Japan is a country where you should not tip at all; it's actually offensive. In the majority of Japanese restaurants a bill is not brought to the table. Instead, payment is accepted at the bar, so even trying to leave a tip for the waiter can be tricky.

For regular cannabis users, a high-THC cannabis strain is one of the best things to get at a dispensary. If you're shopping for someone who loves edibles, vapes, or other cannabis products that you're unfamiliar with, consulting a Guide is highly recommended.

Why do dispensaries make you pay in cash? ›

Marijuana remains a Schedule 1 drug at the federal level. Therefore, major card companies like American Express, Visa, and Mastercard do not allow transactions that are related to cannabis. Because of this, most dispensaries in California are cash only.

Dispensary Owner Earning Statistics

According to a survey by MJBizDaily, the average dispensary owner makes between $250,000 and $500,000 per year. However, a small percentage of dispensary owners make up to $1,000,000 a year. The average dispensary produces around $2 million in sales yearly with a 12% profit margin.

Flower. Flower is still the most popular cannabis product, both in the United States and Canada, with 59% of total sales.

Budtenders report that the average individual tip they've received is between $3 and $5. The benefits of being a budtender are numerous, and may include discounted cannabis, first access to cannabis products, and discovering a community of marijuana enthusiasts!

Every interaction with a budtender is different. Some transactions are quick and easy, while others are first-time customers and involve 15-20 minutes of detailed questions. If your budtender spends extra time helping you achieve a great cannabis experience, a larger tip may be appropriate if you have the means.

For weed delivery recipients, a good rule of thumb should be to tip your delivery guy a minimum of $5, or 15-20% of your total order, when the order amount is above $40. There is some wiggle room here, but we recommend never tip below $5 if you genuinely care and have a good delivery experience.
