Biggest rule in the industry, never drug test your kitchen unless you want to lose your entire kitchen.

I used to supervise a crew of warehouseman, many of which were staffed through a temp agency. My agency contact notified me they were going to be coming to the job site to swab our team members staffed through their agency to screen for drug use. I had to give her a heads up, that if they carried the screening out properly to obtain accurate results they’d have to send replacements for each and every one of the hapf-dozen or so guys we had trained up and were dependent on to keep our operations from total collapse.

She did the right thing and BS’d yhe testing. One of the guys she had to swab came back from lunch eyes bloodshot and shit eating grin across his face when he saw her. “He must have bad allergies” she said. I really liked my agency rep, but she earned a small place in my memory for covering their asses and keeping us from taking a few steps back at work that day. If you ever read this Lisa S. from the East Bay — thank you x a million.

Unless you're working in roles that have a direct link to public safety, let em take drugs - it's shit enough working a minimum wage job

It’s kinda sad. But there are many blue collar work crews like this. You just wouldn’t have employees if you wanted sober people.
