@omgitssydthekid I'd be interested to know if that was true.

Yep, we were all made aware of the drug and alcohol policy at our staff meeting. It is absolutely zero tolerance. I haven't been around long enough to see anyone be stupid enough to violate that policy.In my three years on staff, I've never been drug tested but I know of staff members who have been randomly tested. Nobody (that I know, or know of) has failed the drug test, so I'm not sure how the consequences would be handled. But they were very adamant about it, in my region at least. @yooolizzi might be able to give us insight on how it was handled in the NE region.

I would whole-heartedly stand behind the entire company being subject to drug testing, not just a randomized few. We are a leader in the industry and I believe more people would follow suit.
:banghead:Wow..... the stupidity.....At my restaurant, if you're caught drinking on the job you're fired. If you come into work and you're tipsy/drunk, you're in serious trouble.
We lost one girl last week because she came to work and proceeded to get wasted during her shift. You can serve it, but you're not working drunk.
That is assuming the level of risk of each substance is the same and the cost of trying to police each substance is the same.
Also what if certain substances effect people differently? I married a redhead and she can withstand drugs way more that most people because of that. Do we take into consideration an individuals tolerance or make a blanket statement?
Rated this informative bc King knows his stuff!! I wish my anesthesiologist knew about the studies/proof that we require more anesthesia when I had my daughter... Four epidurals later..lol. I could feel and wiggle my toes in the middle of the c-sectiion (that was the third one btw). First two were given to me during the active labor where I pushed for two hours before they realized she was stuck. I could move my entire body and didn't need to be told when to push bc I still felt everything... Really freaked my anesthesiologist out lol!!

The majority of businesses will fire on the spot if you drink, smoke weed (even if legal) or use an illegal substance on the job site. Most large corporations will give an ultimatum, get help or get fired, if you have been hired and later test positive for drugs. The same ultimatum is usually given if they feel your outside usage of alcohol or drugs is having an affect on your job performance.
woaah. i don't know where its like where y'all are but i would never, and have never ever seen an employee drink at my restaurant while on the job.. you wouldn't be able to even have a sip.. i think thats how it should be
In my junior high this was the complete opposite of what happened (everyone on drugs was caught, that one kid got arrested for selling cocain at age 12 and spent 3 years in juvy) but since I've gotten to high school, I've walked casually into the bathroom and there's just people smoking pot or cigarettes or something and it's usually our school athletes. I think all athletes, if you're in a club/school sport should be drug tested.My daughter was asked by an outside tutor if "Dan the lunchroom man" was still at her school. I asked who Dan the lunchroom man is, and was told by the tutor, he was the school drug dealer. I find it hard to believe all these HS's have on site police officers, the teachers all know where these kids go to smoke, an outside tutor knows who the school dealer is, my kid can point out every high student in a classroom, but they can't seem to ever make any arrests. Love and respect our police officers, but things that make you say, "hhhmmmmm?"
