I've never heard of a company not drug testing. My s/o's company drug tests randomly, and I am drug tested every year.

Weird. Well, we and pretty much everyone we know work in entertainment, so maybe that's why.


But, yeah, even like at my college jobs and stuff, I was never drug tested.

That's so crazy... did you grow up in Cali? Maybe that's why. They tend to be more progressive. I live in freakin' Kentucky.

Nope, Minneapolis- but they're pretty laid back I guess too. Not as laid back as here by any means, for sure, ha ha.

Definitely. I've had a ton of jobs and only been tested for Walgreens.
Other jobs were:
Sporting goods store, Payless, Friendly's(restaurant), McDonalds, 3 tattoo shops and 3 bars.

Payless. I can see why they don't drug test. Like how sober do you really have to be to sell shoes. Walgreens- well I guess they don't want you sneaking back into the pharmacy and gobbling pills on your break.

Lmao! I was a dumb teenager and went to work drunk or stoned off my ass almost every shift. Can't believe I made it a few months there haha.
I drank. Ton of cranberry juice to pass that test.

I had to take a drug test before they let me be a cleaning lady at a hotel.

Such a high profile job...they didn't want us shooting up on the toilet after we were done scrubbing it.

I've never been drug tested either.

In my social issues class, my professor suggested that it has something to do with being poor yet again. The majority (not all) of jobs that are going to drug test you are lower wage jobs. Lower wage jobs attract poorer people.

Can't say if that's true, but it's what she suggested.

Makes sense. Then again all teachers and doctors have to get drug tested right?
