Tips for the Christmas Day Shopper

Being forgetful is understandable, but make sure to be respectful and appreciative of the shops open on Christmas day. It’s best to be early when shopping on Christmas rather than the last customer of the day. Even though the above shops are open on Christmas day, it’s best to give them a call before going into the dispensary. Odds are everything is good, but it will save both the consumer and shop stress if the consumer calls ahead of time. Lastly, make sure to tip the budtender well on the holidays!
