Threatened w/ drug tests, but not given them..

So I've been looking for a weekend job, to go along w/ my other one and school to make a little extra money. I've applied at 3 or 4 temp agencies int he city in the last few days, and been offered 2 jobs that start next week.
But at every single place one of the first questions they asked is "Can you pass a drug test?", but neither one of the places that offered me jobs said I needed to take one. Wonder if their just trying to weed out the people who are stupid enough to say "No"?

For unskilled shit not many places test around here. They'll ask that question, "can you pass a drug test?", but only a retard would say no. So just say yes and you probably won't have to take one.

Hopefully they won't ask me that at the place I want to work...
Then again it is a kid's shoe store
They'll want a safe environment (I still maintain the lady who gave me the application smokes weed)

I'd imagine she does. I don't think I'd be able to work at any kid related store without having to be chilled the fuck out on weed. Otherwise I'd have an assault charge and a lawsuit on my hands real quick.

They always do that. I worked for some temp agencies a while back and they never tested, and probably won't unless you're involved in an accident.

Does anyone know why drug testing is commonplace in the USA but totally unheard of in some other countries?
