I usually have three or four delivery drivers on staff at all times during the day.
The cannabis shop is regularly busy with deliveries. I would guess that 50% of our business is delivery sales. The cannabis shop has offered delivery services for the past year. Sales increased by 30% after we started to offer delivery services. Our delivery zone is quite large. We cover the entire County from north to south and east to west. When drivers leave the store, they have several different cannabis orders with them. The drivers have to be safe and careful when transporting marijuana products and heaps of cash. We only accept cash for marijuana sales. Sometimes the drivers have several hundreds of dollars on them at one time. Last weekend one of my employees returned to the store before finishing all of his orders. That guy told me that he was being followed by someone in a station wagon. He noticed the station wagon at several different deliveries. The guy was getting nervous that someone was going to try to rob him, so he returned to the store with a large stack of money. The station wagon followed the driver all the way to the edge of town where the cannabis shop is located. When the driver pulled into the parking lot, the station wagon sped away. It’s hard to tell if the driver of the car had something bad planned, but I’m glad that the driver returned to the store before something bad occurred. Sometimes it is just better to be safe than sorry.
