Most upstanding companies would do a drug screen. They can fire without cause, just be sure his termination papers don't say drug use, because 1) they have no proof and 2) it might interfere with unemployment (idk). Good luck.

This is kinda weird coming from a Seattle barista cuz like I've literally seen coworkers smoke weed in the parking lot. Just a odd observation on culture

Starbucks does have a no drug policy, but few people actually follow that, but showing up to work high is a much different story, even though again, it happens a lot. So yeah this sounds suspicious. I think the company is finding reasons to fire certain people... which is to say they're finding violations that they were previously letting slide (ie. in my case I was frequently tardy, but kept my job for as long as I did because in all other areas I was a great employee.)
Idk I'm accepting the termination because this job was really messing with my mental health, but I definitely think there's some shady stuff going on with scheduling, hiring, targetting certain employees, terminating for questionable reasons, etc.
