--- Quote from: Zebediah on 13 Nov 2018, 05:42 ---Yeah, drug testing is a feature of many professions. I got regularly tested as a software developer working for a major corporation.

I was a school bus driver until just a couple of months ago, and anybody who wants a Commercial Driver's License has to submit to a DoT physical which includes a drug test - DoT is a federal body. Even though weed's legal here in Oregon.

So weed is legal in Oregon, but if you smoke some, you may loose your job, if you are a bus driver. How weird is that?

Much the same as... "Alcohol is legal, but if you drink it then try to drive a bus, you'll lose your job.", I would imagine?

--- Quote from: A small perverse otter on 13 Nov 2018, 14:07 ---You can reasonably argue that the same concerns apply to alcohol, and you'd be right. That's one of the reasons that some companies impose a no alcohol policy on company events: they're limiting risk.

A place I worked introduced a Happy Hour on Friday night where beer was served in the company canteen. Then, all too predictably, a couple of people were RBTed driving home, and lost their licences, so the company shut it down. Much better to never have started it, IMHO.

Editor wars... Don't make eye-contact, and just keep walking.

Back in the '70s when I was writing my own OS and environment, naturally I wrote my own text editor. Equally inevitably it was called PHED.
Near Lurker:
...how many Wal-Marts even have produce? To me, this is the sine qua non, with even a few convenience stores around me having onions, potatoes, and bananas, but not the local Wal-Mart, which doesn't have firearms, but if it did they'd most likely be between the mountain bikes and the fishing rods. Wal-Mart's a department store, not a grocery store, or even anything in between. Sure, they've got a few packaged foods, but even Staples has candy.

Near Lurker: Every Walmart Supercenter (and every Neighborhood Market, but those don't have firearms, as they're just a grocery store), which is... approximately every Walmart anywhere near me.
