Another One Bites the Dust

Is everyone on some form of drug these days?

It's bad enough when we get customers coming in high wanting to buy Black and Milds to easily smoke their marijuana.

But employees?

In the last six months or so we've had quite a few new hires that didn't work out because it was obvious they were on something.

They show up all normal for their interviews, which is why we hire them.

But once they start, they go back to their normal drug use.

Once it becomes apparent they are high, it makes me mad that we have to pay them to rung up customers when they are out of it.

So I usually make up a reason as to why I'm sending them home early (too slow, scheduled too many people, etc.).

But I still get pissed that we wasted time training these people.

Do they think we are dumb or something that we can't SEE them moving as slow as a snail? Or when we call their name they take 30 seconds to slooooowly turn their head around?

They aren't so slick. They're the dumb ones because now they don't have a job anymore.

  1. It may help if you can get a question on the application that says, "Are you able to pass a drug test? Or, Are you willing to submit to a drug test when asked..." Something along those lines. Once in a while people will ask about it during the interview. Those are the ones you don't want to hire. Hope this helps, and good luck! :)

  2. It is really irritating when these people can't go their shift without being high. Like, is it really that hard to just stay sober while you're working and then go home and do it? It's not a very long time.
    I have this happen ALL the time and it's just so childish. I bet they don't even realize why they can't hold jobs down.

  4. What the hell? Hit a joint while you work is that what you are trying to say.....you are completely IGNORANT!
    NO ONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO HOLD A JOB WHILE HIGH ON MARIJUANA OR ANY OTHER DRUG.
    Get a clue......please America wake up!
    This is why so many people are walking aorund without jobs.
