in the 90s I had to get a job really quick and figured the grocery store would be a good job for a while

so I make it to the interview and am asked to take a pee test. I probably smoked weed a couple times a week for months before the test. I figured that I wasn't going to get the job and didn't really think about it until the manager asked for a second interview, I though sweet I might get the job

lol the second interview was the manager beating around the bush that he knew my drug test was a fail but he was going to give me a chance if I put in the effort. LOL I think I surprised him by not giving a shit about the drug test and I think I told him at one point that working hours are for working and thats what got me the job

he never talked about that afterwards, I worked there for a couple years. it was a good experience

but from my experience the day drinking employees were a bigger problem then the people who smoked weed on their own time

one guy would bring two beers in his lunch box and drink those during his lunch and then drink two more before driving home after his shift

Nobody cares if you smoke weed unless you're operating heavy equipment. Then it could be a liability, you might not be insurable. If you're doing harder drugs, that's a common precursor to theft, so the grocery store would like to know.

The evil of insurance companies...

Once weed became state legal here, I'm pretty sure the food workers union got it so you can't be fired for partaking on one's own time. No showing up to acme wasted though.

Only places testing for weed are government, maybe finance, and security clearance jobs. Nobody else gives a shit if you smoke weed.

I can’t imagine working retail on weed, I would instantly have a panic attack
