I have an interview (or 2) at BestBuy on Tuesday, really not sure if I would pass it >.<

Last time was last last Wednesday, so by the drug test it will be 2 weeks.
Would I pass it? >_>"
Or does anyone have tips to pass it? (Can't afford that 60$ Detoxify bs)

I really want the job, 10$ + 50% discount on all items (including games)... :giveup:

WTF? 50% discount on all items? Whose bullshitting you? I'm sure their cost aren't even that low on a lot of their items.

Anyways, 2 weeks eh? Pretty sure if you only smoked one blunt it'll be gone, but if you were doing it errrrday, you're probably gonna be screwed.

I believe THC stays in the blood for up to 30 days.

If you burn more than 3 times a week you probably don't have enough time. Drink an unnatural amount of water and lose as much fat as possible in two weeks.

^ This.
Really it depends on how much and often you smoked before you stopped.

Flush your system out all you can and you should be fine...Unless you smoked daily, at which point it can linger in your system for months. :giveup:

...Or you could have a clean friend piss in a bag for you and keep it in your ass crack. :sohappy:

As far as I know, in the US any job can make you submit to a drug test for the interview.

I last month I probably smoked like 3 times max, like 3 hits give or take
Never knew about the bodyfat thing. My pothead friend said I could pass it because I'm thin (hes fat), I was like..what?
I have 2 days left, would doing shitload of cardio help at all? Been drinking a lot of water.

I had to agree to the drug test, and looking around the web it looks like they do require drug tests.

The discounts though -_-. Apparently the discount was even better, product cost + 10% mark up, but they changed the policy to 50% off, its still a ridiculously good deal.

BTW if they found alcohol can they do anything about it? (I'm 17)

I don't get what's strange about drug testing at a major retail store. You're working with the public. I don't agree with the prohibition of these drugs, but since it's the law, and the liability aspect, I can't see why they wouldn't test.

If you don't get the job cause you fail the drug test, maybe you should rethink your priorities in life. Eh? I've got way too much to lose to mess around with that shit, but I know a lot of ppl that gave up a lot to smoke weed. One guy gave up custody of his kids cause he refused court ordered drug tests. (Personally I thing cigarettes are worse than weed, but this is the world we live in..)

Hopefully

@Fiction; why always so defensive of corps brah. I don't mind taking drug test, I doubt I have to reset my priorities for something I only do to relax (tree) and as a summer job (BestBuy). I understand they probably have higher standards for employees considering the pay and benefits, which is the only reason I'm bothering with it.

If people are taking away custody for someone's kids for smoking weed, thats a problem with the law not the person..~,o

Meh fuark that its a job at best buy, not a career job. I work in a big retail store and my bosses regularly go have a few beers for lunch rofl. No bigy here. Overkill imo..

This. I don't usually hear of drug tests for "non-career" jobs. If a lot of retail stores did this, a lot of people would be unemployed. I work at a grocery store and if we ever had a drug test, 1/4 of the store and maybe even some managers would be left without a job lol...

Walmart requires drug testing too. Good thing IMO.

Drug test for some low level store job is overkill...seems intense... After you pass and get the job do they carry out random drug testing afterwards?... Because if they don't there was no point of an initial drug test...

The way my friends do it is take a test tube full of "clean" piss. Strap it to your leg (don't tourniquet that damn thing on) so it's hidden and will keep the urine warm. Some prefer a tube for it so you don't have to detach it, but most usually do and pour it into the sample cup. Good luck, obviously ask question if you need too. :dope:

A lot of people are in need of jobs so why wouldn't they try to fish out the best.

Do you have a criminal record? Do you have any record saying that you have used or taken drugs before?

I really dont understand asking for a drugs test! Its almost unheard of in the uk, they have the right to ask for your criminal record if you have one but asking for a drugs test would mean either they think you look like a druggie or "we have a guilty until proven innocent policy".

I think that you could take drugs as long as it didnt effect you ability to work and unless you had a record, the company wouldnt know or really have the right to ask!

id ask "what do you want my blood for? so you can keep a DNA record of your employees? Am i going to be recorded by my name or by my genome?!"

also... what if you are terrified of needles (for a full drug screening)

i dno, it seems very weird!

Excuse me, I figured it was longer term considering by the time summer is over and school starts, your discount wouldn't even kick in.

Everything that's not trashing the corporation is defending them? Drug testing is a way to cover their ass. Have not worked a job in my adult life that didn't require one before hire or allowed randomly.

It's a piss test. It's only scary if it's a small cup.

Probably excludes game systems ( :() but video games, TVs, cameras, look like they are included :D. 1 month to be qualified for it, and i'll be working after school starts anyways.

If they do random on the spot drug tests that'd just be ridiculous ~,o. I used to work everyday at McDonalds while toking everyday, it didn't affect my focus for shit. esp. for a cashier job at retail.

I do want to ask tho, if they found alcohol they can't do anything about it right?

If it's just a summer job then you won't be able to use that discount for the PS4 anyways.
