Dispensary I go to in Santa Ana is pretty chill. Basic place and unless you have a mob of newbs in front of you, you are in and out in 5 minutes or less. Med card discounts are nice too and I'm usually walking out with a half ounce of blue dream or blackberry fire for under $70. Not the highest quality but gets the job done.
The curbside pickup is very efficient.
Tip jar is one thing. Even better is the suggested tips when you pay with credit card. Yeah I am not dropping a 20% tip and definitely not a 30% tip. But I will flip a few bucks their way - I figure that's the equivalent of the old days when you'd flip a nug to a friend hooking you up.
I have no nostalgia for the old days/ways whatsoever. The flakiness, two day delays, pinching of bags, sketchy meeting places, compulsory hanging out, etc.
