When you test applicants for entry level minimum wage jobs it's just another excuse to not interview the glut of applicants that you don't have time to interview anyway. You aren't even required to notify those who don't get interviews.<BR/> Screening out users of "dangerous drugs" by drug testing is so bogus. It doesn't measure level of impairment.
