Why Calling Ahead for Cannabis on Fridays Actually Works
Fridays move differently in New York.
By the time most people start thinking about cannabis, dispensaries are already busy, menus are shifting, and popular products are disappearing in real time.
One of the simplest things we’ve learned — both as a brand and as everyday New Yorkers — is that calling ahead on Fridays actually works. It saves time, avoids disappointment, and makes pickup and delivery smoother.
Here’s why that small step matters more than people think.

Fridays Are a Moving Target
On Fridays, inventory doesn’t sit still.
Between:
After-work pickups
Weekend restocks landing late
Delivery orders stacking up
What you see online at 3pm may not be what’s there at 6pm.
Calling ahead gives you real-time clarity — something menus can’t always guarantee during peak hours.
Why Online Menus Aren’t the Whole Story
Online menus are helpful, but on Fridays they lag behind reality.
A product might show as available while:
The last units are already in someone’s basket
A hold is pending for pickup
Staff are pulling inventory for deliveries
A quick call cuts through that uncertainty.
It tells you:
What’s actually on the shelf
What’s about to sell out
Whether pickup or delivery makes more sense
How This Helps When You’re Looking for Silly Nice
Silly Nice products are made in small batches, which means they tend to move quickly — especially on Fridays.
Calling ahead helps because:
Staff can confirm availability immediately
They can suggest the best pickup window
They can tell you if another nearby location has it
That small effort often saves a lot of back-and-forth later.

Why Dispensary Staff Appreciate the Call
Here’s something most people don’t realize: calling ahead actually helps staff too.
It allows them to:
Set items aside for pickup
Recommend delivery when lines are long
Reduce in-store congestion
On busy Fridays, that clarity benefits everyone involved.
What to Say When You Call (It’s Simple)
You don’t need a script. Keep it easy.
Something like:
“Hey, I was wondering if you currently have any Silly Nice products available, and if pickup or delivery makes more sense tonight.”
That’s it.
From there, staff can guide you based on:
Current stock
Store traffic
Delivery capacity
Asking by name makes the conversation faster and more productive.
Calling Ahead Protects Your Night
Friday nights are fragile.
They don’t recover well from:
Long lines
Sold-out items
Rushed decisions
Calling ahead removes most of that friction before it starts.
Instead of adjusting your plans around availability, availability adjusts around your plans.
Pickup vs Delivery: The Call Helps Decide
Sometimes pickup is faster.
Sometimes delivery makes more sense.
A quick call helps determine:
If pickup slots are filling up
If delivery windows are realistic
If one option will save you time
That decision is hard to make blindly — and easy once you talk to someone.
Transparency Makes the Call Easier
We believe cannabis decisions should be clear, especially on busy nights.
That’s why every Silly Nice product is lab tested, with full Certificates of Analysis available online. When you call, you already know what you’re asking for.
Clarity builds confidence — and confidence speeds things up.
Why This Matters More on Fridays Than Any Other Day
On slower days, you can browse.
On Fridays, browsing becomes waiting.
Calling ahead shifts you from passive to prepared.
It’s one of those small habits that experienced New York shoppers develop quickly — not because it’s fancy, but because it works.
