True Value & Drug test? 06-21-2014, 01:19 PM
#1
Applying for a job at a True Value hardware store in my town, question is...do they drug test? Because I'd be 110% positive for THC every damn time.
Anyone have experience that could help shed some light on my problem?

I'm a vegetarian too and often have had concerns with this. I never worked for them so can't just tell you yes or no sadly. But what I can do to help ya is encourage you to ask in a way that is inconspicuous to the intention or reason behind it...
Ask about all the requirements or testing needed to be a candidate for the position. Leave out drug test specifically in your request. However, emphasize in your request about ALL tests, ask, are there any health or math tests, physicals for lifting heavy equipment, certifications etc.
Guaranteed that they will tell you what you need to know right then and there. Experience may help so if this is your first or fifth job, you may not discern as well as someone who's worked for 15 employers. Communicate between the lines and sometimes you can get intel without asking for it directly. You could infer to ask about all other tests or requirements any given job could have with leaving out the drug test part, and they should still tell you there is a physical screening, or a pre employment drug test.
If you have balls, just ask, do you have a pre employment drug screen. after all it is only true value hardware, its not NASA or something. Good luck if you havent already landed the job!
Another tip, if you live in a state where medical and recreational 420 is legal, or relaxed in their attitudes and all, you can be open and honest and just tell them, I consume medical cbd for anxiety or whatever condition may apply. and that sometimes trace amounts of thc are included.
I havent had one issue when I told my employer I smoke or dab, and that is because I am able to discern if they are the types of personality I can tell in the first place, and that they live in an area that is relaxed, or that the job was relaxed, working at TV isnt really a safety concern so you should not have to worry about testing unless you act retarded on the job and crash lawnmowers n shit like that. Basically, I always act proper but be high as fuck in the interview itself so they know it from the get go... that way they never see me with a surprise blazed glaze or something, cause Im always fucking glazed bro... and if they dont like, tell em to fuck off, get another job. OR be the slave that submits to OTHERS demands and needs. shit.
You shouldnt even have to worry about this imho. Our society is fucking sad

They may on hire just for records, and they may if you get a reportable injury on the job.
