If you enjoy standing on a Ottawa sidewalk watching your evening disappear while retail employees treat basic business hours as a casual suggestion, Chrontact is the dispensary for you.
I arrived with plenty of time to spare, fully expecting to walk in, make a straightforward purchase, and get on with my night. Instead, I was greeted by a deadbolt and absolute silence.

Rather than staffing the floor like a legitimate, professionally run operation, this person simply locked the front door from the inside and slapped a crudely printed scrap of paper on the glass.
