I have the same hiring problem in my store as Albertsons. It's the rule that we have to send new hires for a Drug Test if we hire them.. 80% are flunking the drug test. Really, it's a problem. The last 16 stockboys I tried to hire, 11 flunked the test. 3 out of 5 cashiers flunked it too. I guess in modern times, corporate stores are going to have to accept pot smoking in off times. We can't hire anyone 75% of the time.

Honestly, I wouldn't care what they do on their off time off as long as the store was running efficiently. What's the worst that could happen? They might spend all of their paycheck on munchies when they get off of work?

It's hilarious to think that people need jobs yet choose drugs over work. I think that's more the problem than your store's policies.

With that said, I don't necessarily think drug testing is required for grocery store clerks. It's not as if they are performing surgery or flying airplanes.

At my old store, corporate removed new hire drug screening. We had tons of stores in California and Colorado and it was affecting the hiring process
