New Grower Want a Job selling pot?

[blessedinwashington]

This is so exciting to see the first ad going up for the new recreational marijuana business. Man, when I sold pot 40 years ago, I almost went to prison. Now I can get paid for it! Too bad I don't have time for a job. *LOL*

What other locations are planned for Marijuana Stores? This one is like an hr away.

 

[blessedinwashington]

An hour away from where? You can google for that answer. While there are many people who either got their license or won the lottery, not that many are going to open the 8th.

Beware of the scam. No legit business pays in cash. The few that might would call you a sub contractor, and for a sub $12 hr equals poverty.

RR, they HAVE to pay in cash. They can't have a checking account. But to be honest, I hope you are right and there ends up being a license available. It would be illegal to hire someone as a contract employee at a retail store. I've done research into that as I first did that with my home business. I had to change and make them employees with taxes and the whole works.

 

[F.N.]

Subcontracting at 12 bucks ahour is a slippery slope going down. The employee will not pay the right amount of taxes because they have to eat and survive. They will end up in trouble with the IRS. In order to make 12 a hour legally he would need at least 20 a hour to make sure the gov stays off of your back at least in Canada you would need that much we are one of the most taxed people in the world and among the most passive too that is why we roll over and take it IMO

I do not know what you talking about in this topic, but come to Bulgaria - the poorest member of the European Union - $1.4/h minimum wage, $235 month gross, $185 net

It's all relative. For people in states with a low minimum wage, $12 is huge. For those in higher minimum wage states like Washington, $12 is not that far above Minimum. If it is a contract job the only difference is the employee must have an additional 7.5% in FICA tax. If one has No job and can't get fired because they smoke pot, $12 and hour on contract or on payroll is a huge win.
