Inexperienced smoker needs some advise.

I need some Advise on issue ive been having. Ok well i want to get a job so i can help out my parents with some cash needs, but i still want to smoke and also iam not sure if any jobs that i might want to get makes me take a drug tests at all times. Why i havent asked the places i wish to work well iam afraid they will question me why iam asking about drug tests? Yeah this thread seems a little silly to me but i figured their are some experienced smokers here why the hell not ask them. Ive talked to a few Older people i know who smoked when they were young or still is. They had some advise for me but iam still looking for more advise on this subject.Thank you for your time.

My friend has worked at subway and Mcdonalds and burger kind and none of them made him take a drug test.. Not sure about anywhere else, and this is also illinois not texas so I have no idea. Where you thinkin of tryin to get a job at? A fast food place? An actual resturant? A superstore maybe? some high tech computer programmer job(Pretty sure you gonna get a drug test for that one)

The Gap doesnt drug test. Whole Foods Market doesnt either.

Most employers only drug test you when they hire you. After that they dont really drug test you unless there is reason to suspect you are using a drug (in my experience).

 

Yeah your right most large corporations will only test upon hiring. If you plan to work at any fast food, restaurant, or any other place like that. About 99% of the time they don't drug test. Because if they did they would lose all their employees.

Although places like Walmart, The Home Depot, Target, or any other huge retail store usually always drug test before hiring. And will only drug test when employed if you get in some kind of work accident.

 

Just ask an employee in the store. Some places say they'll test, but don't and only an actual employee would be able to know. And it's not like they'll give a shit.

 

The other question you should ask is "will there be random testing?"

Some places will some won't - if you are going to apply to a chain store you can always head to one where you are not going to apply to and ask one of the workers.

You can always stop smoking until you are tested and hired.

I agree with budbill...just stop smoking till you get the job you want, find out right away if they do randoms, if not...happy toking!

Decide what is more important at the moment, getting high or helping your family?
Welcome to the wonderful world of becoming responsible...ain't it fun!

 

I work in a call center and they dont drug test. They also hire anybody who comes through the door, and would lose about 80% of their employees if they did. But you have to be over 18 to work there

 

Ahh ok thanks guys for the advise! I really needed it...well i think iam just going to ask around to see if the employees know if they do drug test. If they do test me ill just quit smoking for the good of the Family not like it hard to quit or anything like that. Yeah yay responsiblity its a real joy...but thanks again for all your inputs!

 

I would say to ask some of the cooler looking employees there if they drug test.. Thats what I've done. ALways works Not everyy place is going to drug test you either but also you might not get an interveiw with everyplace

 

if they are hiring 16 year olds then they don't drug test...
and if they do the worst thing that'll happen is you won't get the job (they don't call the police, and you don't have a "permanent record")
