Former Home Depot store Manager Visits Me at a Medical Marijuana Dispensary: Navigating Hypocrisy in the Workplace

While I cannot say for sure if this falls under the category of anti-work, I welcome any downvotes if you believe it to be inappropriate. Several years ago, I was employed by Home Depot before transitioning to a medical marijuana dispensary. Soon after starting my new job, my former Home Depot manager visited the dispensary to purchase cannabis products. This encounter was quite uncomfortable, given Home Depot's firm stance against cannabis use, while my ex-manager was engaging in such behavior. Needless to say, it left me with mixed emotions. The hypocrisy of the situation was palpable, and I had to navigate a difficult conversation with my former manager to facilitate the sale. The reason for the discomfort was that he personally made it his mission to deny me medical workers compensation for marijuana use, yet here he was in my new place of work purchasing cannabis.
