More than half
purseEffphony 13 points 1y ago
They cant keep people as it is. Its bad enough that I have to explain this to customers wanting to know why they cant come into the cafe ad nauseum.
capybaraRage 3 points 1y ago
I was literally coming to say this
idealgothgf 144 points 1y ago
nah. at my old store we were all stoners. even my ssv's would try to get me out of there in time if i needed to make a dispo run 😭
Zeldaluvr2007 23 points 1y ago
Manager of the year right there!
C0ffeeCoffeeC0ffee 71 points 1y ago
Nope! Can't say for sure, but I strongly suspect I've even worked with some people who vape thc on the job. I don't toke anymore but I imagine it makes the job more tolerable if you can get away with it.
bigghostb00ty 5 points 1y ago
1:1 THC/CBD tabs are where it’s at
Frosty-Shelter7372 68 points 1y ago
They dont test for anything at all! Though I would not recommend coming in for a shift after smoking, its so hard to do any task high🥴
drinkliquidclocks 86 points 1y ago
Can't relate, stoned me is a ninja on bar
Frosty-Shelter7372 26 points 1y ago
See with my luck, I’m on DTO after smoking and it was terrifying. I also smoked before the holiday meeting. we had to play two truths and a lie🥴
AtTheBarMatt 2 points 1y ago
Y'all have meetings?
sweet-seat 5 points 1y ago
stoned me on bar was the only version of me that didn't feel any kind of overwhelmed on peak and still managed to get drive times p low
Bryancreates 24 points 1y ago
Trying to ring up a line of people during a PARADE thats crawling out the door for a block with just 3 people and one on break that didn’t end up coming back. Not a fun time.
CommanderWar64 5 points 1y ago
My manager comes in Monday half the time late, stoned and hungover af from the weekend before.
GuySmileyIncognito 58 points 1y ago
No, the entire food service industry would no longer exist if they tested for pot. Just don't be dumb and show up obviously high every day.
impasse602 28 points 1y ago
No starbucks doesn’t drug test
KobeJay22 7 points 1y ago
They can if your SM suspects something is up. But yea I rarely ever see people get drug tested.
brattiebun 23 points 1y ago
not as far as I’m aware, I smoke every day but I wouldn’t ever come to work high
Lil_Polski 15 points 1y ago
Same! plus I live and work in Seattle so I think they just expect that most of us here smoke.
[deleted] -4 points 1y ago
“ oh no I’m not addicted, I can stop anytime”
brattiebun 1 points 1y ago
considering I’m over 21 and smoke for medical reasons, I’d say my level of consumption is no ones business but my own and whoever’s selling me product.
SL13377 22 points 1y ago
Tonight on Fox News Starbucks losing 90% of it's employees after mandatory drug test enforcement
Jessicap1400 6 points 1y ago
Lol pls not fox news..
SL13377 5 points 1y ago
Hahaha shit you are right.

But also damn they are probably the ones that would make it sound all obnoxious and drama filled like "oh no they were smoking the Mary Jay! more at ten!"
purseEffphony 7 points 1y ago
Please - they already think we are hippie socialist upstarts who want to unionize while ignoring the fact that our customer base is hard-working highly paid Americans... I can see it on Tomi Laren or Tucker Carlson...
Jessicap1400 5 points 1y ago
So well said. Fuck capitalist America
Jessicap1400 2 points 1y ago
Most definitely lmao
heyitsme963 19 points 1y ago
No, I’m pretty confident more than half of us are full-on stoners. Just be aware that if you ever need worker’s comp, they’ll usually drug test.
Bryancreates 12 points 1y ago
They drug test immediately actually. A SSV of mine fell during a shift and was off for 3-4 weeks. She drank but not while on the job, and she didn’t smoke pot though she was cool with it being smoked at her loft. If she had tested for either (or other non-prescribed substances) she would’ve been denied workers comp.
heyitsme963 3 points 1y ago
Yep, this is what I meant. Thanks for clarifying.
jams1015 2 points 1y ago
Interesting. Is that your experience? SWIM fell at work and had to use workers comp for a year of PT to fix what was damaged by the fall. At no point in time was SWIM given a drug test, even while using WC, and even immediately after the onset of the injury/initial treatment. Wondering how lucky SWIM was.
Js_On_My_Yeet 12 points 1y ago
Nope. I'm so glad I have other pothead partners here. I wish I could smoke with y'all if it were possible.
xerox-of-a-xerox 8 points 1y ago
*passing u the blunt thru the phone*!!!!!!!!
Js_On_My_Yeet 3 points 1y ago
🥺 thank you thank you I owe you my life
calimac90 12 points 1y ago
Bout to find out who the narcs are
renjaminbutton 7 points 1y ago
Starbucks’ drug policy is literally just “don’t do it at work”
wildaloofrebel55 6 points 1y ago
HAHAHAHAHA no way!!!
lowlycreep 5 points 1y ago
Whole store would have been fired already
[deleted] 5 points 1y ago
most stores don’t from what i’ve heard! tbh like 75% of starbucks employees are all stoners lmao. most of my supervisors (not my managers just the shifts) knew i smoked weed and they gave zero fucks and a few of them did too. but if you get hurt on the job they’ll drug test you. so just don’t get hurt and you’re gucci my friend!
ComradeSnowball_ 4 points 1y ago
Nope they don’t.
macprintmaker 3 points 1y ago
If they’re not providing covid tests they’re sure as hell not gonna start doing drug tests. 🤷🏼‍♂️
nevernot613 3 points 1y ago
if they did they’d really have a labor shortage 😂😂
agibb55 3 points 1y ago
Nope- they would never get anybody to work there
celloqueer 3 points 1y ago
No test to be able to work. You won’t have problems unless you cause problems on the job due to being high or you are involved in some kind of incident that they do testing to see if they have to pay for workers Comp.
imaraisin 3 points 1y ago
I doubt it. But if one were driving for work or the like and got into a crash, I’d expect it.
rosebudftw 3 points 1y ago
I think if they did no one would be employees. Majority of partners at my store are stoners lol
BunnieSPH 2 points 1y ago
No, I worked their for 2 years and was stoned the entire time I was in that building.
If I wasn’t on the floor I was hitting my cart in the back.
Starbucksprincess99 2 points 1y ago
I come to work high 100% of my shifts you’re good
Fatpostman39 2 points 1y ago
Have you ever been in a starbucks? If they did there wouldn't be any employees
kaylalynneldred 2 points 1y ago
Just don’t come to work high and you’ll be fine :)
juicyjuu 2 points 1y ago
they do not (former partner)
Babeygoo 2 points 1y ago
lol nah
purseEffphony 2 points 1y ago
I dont smoke anymore - no judgemenfs to those that do - but they never questioned my "sobriety" when I applied nor since Ive been working there. I sas never asked about recreational use of anything during the interview process.

They do conduct a "cursory" background check so. If there were problems with being sober on the job at another employer it may come up and I'm not sure if Strbucks would offer a job in that case.
[deleted] 2 points 1y ago
nope it’s the only thing that’s keeping me from quitting tho!
drinkliquidclocks 2 points 1y ago
No way, they'd have to shut down
Vlnvln2021 2 points 1y ago
No and thank god 😂
MatchingColors 2 points 1y ago
I haven’t heard of that happening in my 3 years working so I’d say no.

Also, minimum wage jobs will RARELY enforce that kind of test, because they know it will exclude 90% of applicants
lilithred666 1 points 1y ago
holy shit no my whole store would be fired
fawnaluna 1 points 1y ago
they won’t test you unless you give them a reason to (i.e. don’t show up to work high and you’ll be fine)
[deleted] 1 points 1y ago

TheDialingRain 1 points 1y ago
At my last store in Washington it actually would’ve been 99% or my store. There was 2 out of 36 people that didn’t
melodiic_ 1 points 1y ago
LMAO yeah no bc if they did, theyd have to shut most stores down. i'd say like 80% of my coworkers either have mmj cards or smoke to relax...it probably doesn't help that our store is a Very high volume cafe
krty98 1 points 1y ago
I work in Colorado so idk my guy
femalehomosapien18 1 points 1y ago
No, i even got hired on as a supervisor with a record so your fine
hsah1rac 1 points 1y ago
i simply would not be employed
Gameb0i6 1 points 1y ago
Lol. Of course they don’t. 90% of the partners would be out of a job if they did.
nikkicarter1111 1 points 1y ago
Nope. Just don’t smoke AT work and you’re chillin
BothWeb1004 1 points 1y ago
I'm just here to say that I've never smoked weed. And I live in Canada. I am a rare elk.

serenity_flows13 1 points 1y ago
Nah, they’d have no employees if they did lol
Praxlyn 1 points 1y ago
If they did 99% of stores would be closed bc all the partners would be gone 😭
rat-god- 1 points 1y ago
mostly stoners at my store too, i never got drug tested thank god lmao
Blacksmith_Kitchen 1 points 1y ago
Only if you get hurt on the job
oohlalaloca 1 points 1y ago
Starbucks would have no employees if they did. Just reiterating what everyone else has said.
xXTimbloXx 1 points 1y ago
No. We’d be even more understaffed if they did 🤣
witchbitchcraft 1 points 1y ago
If they did, I think it’s probably a urine test, which are easier to “fake”. But yeah, if Starbucks tested everyone, we’d all be fired. I’ve never used at work, only at home before bed.
Kastaway- 1 points 1y ago
Nope, they don’t test you for anything. They only want to know your experience.
MrHorse666 1 points 1y ago
No lol
Fxckingjabroni 1 points 1y ago
No
xdeathtrapx 1 points 1y ago
No they don’t. My wife works there and she’s a stoner lol
