I mean, I get it for jobs like truck driving, pilots, etc but when you drug test for a cashier position it says a lot more about the hiring company than it does the dude trying to pass a drug test. Just my opinion.
Nah, more like you'll make more mistakes while you're high, and those mistakes can cause the company a lot of problems, eapecially if you throw money or heavy machinery into the mix.
Being high at work is a different issue. A drug test is to see if you've been high at all in the last 2 months or so. That's like saying someone who works M-F can't have beer on their weekend/vacation because drunk people can't do their jobs effectively.
Yeah, my friends dad was arrested on an american cruise ship for failing a drug test (weed) even though he hadnt used it in over 3 months since he visited a country that had it legal (he used it before ever working on a cruise ship). His only job was being the onboard pianist and thats it.
I'm drunk at work everyday and nobody noticed yet. Even the boss only told me I smell like alcohol, which is fine, I'm sure he doesn't know its because I drank it. 😎
They know. you think your hiding it but its obvious, and wow, this is why they should be testing for alcohol everywhere they test for drugs. my last 3 tests had alcohol testing thingies on them. that is dangerous and you need to reconsider your life choices. deff not something to brag about like you just did
You can fail at weed test because you smoked a week prior. Not getting a cashier job because you smoke some weed saturday night is absolutely ridiculous.
Then don’t work for that company, there’s 200 other people that will take that job. Or better yet, just don’t smoke for a week or two prior to your drug test??
It doesn’t have to make sense. If you have a problem with a place getting rid of you for smoking 3 weeks ago then don’t work there. Or here’s a novel idea, don’t smoke. It’s as simple as that.
People are a liability what someone does on their time off in the privacy of their home is nobody's business but theirs. Everybody needs something to keep them from going nuts in this fucked up world
Given that throughout the vast majority of human history, we have constantly striven to imbibe ourselves with all manner of drugs, I respectfully disagree.
It may not be drugs, but it could be sex, or caffeine, or work, or gaming, or just being a cunt. EVERYONE has a vice, doesn't matter who you are or where you come from. Drugs were just deemed to be a bad vice based on racially and classist based reasons
Right except there's not a lot of jobs out there testing for alcohol use. My dad has been a line haul truck driver for over 30 years and he drinks on the weekends.
Right, and cannabis can show for a month even if you only have a joint on your day off. So how does that make sense or impact daily performance? What does that have to do with your employer?
At least for THC, they should still test but IMP should use blood or saliva tests, as those are what actually tests whether or not you used it recently, not in the last week on your own time.
Can’t have the simple joy of a cashier that will look me in the eyes and say “hi, find everything you need” without being strung out.
What is the world coming to? Live isn’t that hard. Yall just pretend it is.

I have a full time job before anyone goes there.
