I do see some of that where I work. We can find a good person to hire, but after we tell them to pee in a cup, we never see them again. Some people don't even bother to apply. They get more money from welfare, so why work for just above minimum? Pay more then you will get a better quality of candidate. This isn't rock surgery.

I would refuse to "pee into a cup" - for political reasons (i.e., because I view it as an infringement of my right to privacy), and because I regard it as undignified - not because I feared any revelation of drug-use. I would instead look for a different job - one for which "peeing into a cup" was not a prerequisite.

The refusal to participate in such an undignified procedure is not necessarily a question of "quality."

I have never had a problem peeing in a cup. My only concern is false positive if the samples get mixed up.

If companies have drug tests, I wonder the impact on insurance premiums over companies that don’t drug test.
