I posted this thread because I'm applying for a job and since I'm not clean I don't wanna waste my time on a piss test.

So basically when you post to this thread post
-Place you work at/worked for
-What kind of drug test they require (Piss, Swab, Hair or None)

itd be much easier if you posted what job you are applying for. that way anyone thats worked for the company will be able to tell you, instead of everyone with a job saying they've taken one or not.

Most restaurants dont give piss tests or any test, and factories dont either. But stay away from Best buy, they are serious about it

Factory jobs generally DO drug test as the risk of injury is higher in a factory than it is in a desk job.  Any major chain store is going to require a drug test, i.e. Best Buy, Office Max, etc.  You probably won't get a hair test - those are a little more expensive. 

Suck it up and quite smokin for a month and then it won't matter.  Or take detox.

Yeah, factories do drug test. I worked in a factory and every year i work there I have to take a drug test. Not hard to pass if you take one of those detox drinks. I also tried getting a job at a printing company and i had to take a drug test for. didn't get the job because I took a shitty detox drink.

Moral of the story, if you go the drug test route look at the ingredients and make sure that there is well over 100% of the daily recommended does for most of the vitamins. get those and you will be golden.

i'm pretty sure most unskilled labor won' test. unless its like an upscale kinda place that is known for quality and good citizens



oh and boston mills (the ski resort by me), mcdonalds, acme, and papa johns don't test.

umm as someone stated above the big chains usually test, Best Buy Lowes Home Depot.... If your going to apply just dont smoke for like 2 weeks drink a shit load of cranberry and water flush the system and you should be okay. In most cases they will used a piss test, they cost less for the company. Hair test cost a ton to get analyzed. If you are wicked worried you can go to your local drug store and by a home test and test yourself right before. Depending on how the test is admin, you may be able to sneak some piss from someone clean, but make sure you heat it up before using it.
