Hair drug tests

My girlfriend just got hired at busch gardens, for holloween night things. They drug test each and every employee with a piss test, and a hair sample. These kids are making minimum wage, and the turnover rate is crazy.
This means the technology is getting cheaper, and as more and more places do it, it will slowly become the "norm." Not to mention that it is less intrusive than pissing in a cup, I really hope somoene comes up with surefire way to eliminate this test, making it obsolete, because it is a serious threat to the people like me who work hard at a good job and dont let my weekend life effect my work life....im scared

Hair tests are still not usually done for employment by itself theres been many instances where black men and women can come back positive by certain proteins only found in their hair...That's why it's usually combined with piss tests...If one fails and the other is positive then it's unlikely they'd take the hair test over the piss test...I don't think they'll ever do hair tests by itself...It's kinda like an assurance to the first test because now adays it's so easy to cheat on piss tests...
hair tests have a high failure rate...
Has anybody tried the detox body washes some companies sell that strip the hair of protein?

Develop a case of alopecia or just shave and wax you entire body and tell them you have it.

That is interesting about them being inaccurate. The shaving the head idea is funny for people that have fast hair growth. At least it is less intrusive then a piss test, even though the results are worse!

There are some people with the condition alopecia who don't grow any body hair at all. Even Eye lashes.

Drugs stay in your hair for years. If you use drugs you are a walking felony.

anheuser-busch is a big drug war supporter. they give a lot to the partnership for a drug free america and i'm sure a few other anti-drug crusaders. they're big on drug tests for their employees, that yes, include hair.
i wonder why this might be...

If you don't get the job, find another.
I got so pissed off at the simple minded bureaucracy of places I worked at, I started my own company and make 15 times as much doing half the work, minus the hassle of keeping myself motivated and my books in order of course.
I don't know what you do, but if it interferes with your personal life that is suppose to be outside of work, then move on to greener fields.
