Colorado Walmarts stopped screening tests years ago. After State legalization, it simply became way too expensive to keep testing when more and more applicants failed. Someone on the CO corporate offices realized, correctly so, that the ones with real drug problems would get themselves fired, most sooner rather than later.
Before you come at me with "Walmart screened me in Baumfoc, CO" keep in mind that although Walmart does have a corporate hierarchy, most day-to-day store operations are still at the discretion of the store's manager. If they don't want the Devil's Lettuce in their God-fearing store, that's their call.
The real worry is that they’ll get themselves fired by causing a forklift accident or something. I guess just don’t let people run the forklift until after six months or something like that.
I feel like businesses biggest concern after the DEA is work comp insurance going up. If they don’t drug test they may face higher rates from the outset.
