Does Dollar General conduct drug testing for new hires?

Dollar General has a strict drug-free policy and may require a urine drug test prior to employment or randomly after employment, depending on location, background, and position. In most states, except for Texas, Florida, and Kentucky, a drug test is not required for new hires, but may be requested for those with prior drug convictions. Pre-employment drug tests are typically required for senior roles, and the company screens for a variety of drugs, including cannabis. Random drug tests are rare, but may be conducted if there is evidence of drug abuse, and alcohol may be included in the test if there is suspicion of intoxication at work. Tobacco and vaping are only allowed in designated areas outside of the store during scheduled breaks.
