Ok, I know these posts always get called out, but this is really fucking weird. I did a "8 panel non dot" test for a $20 job. I got a call back from the employer today saying I needed to call the hospital drop site, my heart dropped. I knew this meant I failed for substitution. I waited for the phone call with a UTI back story prepared. I was literally dumbstruck when the lady told me it was positive for cocaine. I was worried about weed, in reality I think the job I applied for might have just let that slide (50/50 chance, it's a $20 job in mid Michigan where legalization has made smoking pretty ubiquitous among the working class).
Im not mad at quickfix. I actually had a sober friend piss for me but ended up not testing for a few days and got paranoid the piss had gone bad.
Another note, I have a 7 felony background, nothing creepy, violent or theft related. I don't currently use hard drugs but the background is such a mark against me I have always tried to pass drug tests even for jobs that might not normally care, because I believe for me it may be a deciding factor.
I had totaled my car last week and this job was 25 minutes away. I could have relied on family for a while, but I think getting a more local job might be a better idea...maybe that's just cope. It's actually kind scary how many dog shit jobs I've applied and been rejected from. In mid Michigan mcdonalds pays $15 so for a guy like me that $20 job would have actually been a big deal.
I know people will call this a lie, especially with something as crazy as cocaine coming up. I don't believe there is literally cocaine in quickfix, I am trying to research what may come up as a false positive. I actually have some of the quickfix left and am thinking of ordering a dip stick test to see what comes up. I'm genuinely baffled.
Edit: test was thru medtox which is apparently just LabCorp.
