A girl came into my shop today and asked me if I'm hieing any volunteers... I started laughing, and she asked what I was laughing at?? I said, you just contradicted yourself... she said, How?? I said, How do you hire a volunteer?? Volunteers work for free, that's why they volunteer, and you would hire someone you would pay...so how do you hire a volunteer??? Poor girl didn't know what to say...she said all dispensaries are calling employees volunteers. I said, that's because "dispensaries" are illegal in California, the California Attorney General said so in the guidelines, we are a collective. Even tough we are a non-profit, we still pay our employees, If you wanted to volunteer for us, be my guest, but don't expect any reimbursement, because as soon as I reimburse you anything you would be called an employee. Sorry folks that's just California EDD laws.
I don't think she meant to contradict herself. I think she really just wanted to "help" but misused the word, "hire". Poor girl.
I wasn't talking about dispensaries as places of business...I was saying the word "dispensary" is not defined under the Health & Safety code...it also says so in the California Attorney General Guidelines for non-diversion. the correct use of words is very important... Foe example: Q: what's the difference between a prostitute and a porn star??? A: a fucken CAMERA!!!
oh snap? lighten up there my good sir... the link was relevant to current events for the uninformed, not intended to directly berate your usage of the term (which as posted did/does infer that they are illegal...)
