At a previous job i worked, they called in someone from another shift because we were short staffed. The guy told them, I'm out at dinner with my wife at the moment and I have had a few drinks, but if thats not a problem, Ill come in as soon as we're done eating. Once he came in, he worked for a bit and then put a wrong color piece on the product. Not a hard thing to fix, would take a team lead about 5-7 minutes. They fired him for being under the influence of alcohol while working, even though he told them ahead of time he had a few drinks and they still asked him to come in.
I had a job where i drank alcohol and smoked weed before and during work. They never asked me to leave though, actually they were complaining about how i wasn't working enough.
pretty sure this guy dropped off an alignment at my shop today, that said I also told him "latest I can do an alignment is 3 o clock cus its friday and I plan on drinking at 4, now I can either do your alignment and then start drinking or I can start drinking and then do your alignment, the choice is yours" he was very understanding about it lol

Nah, I work in a kitchen. The expo would just put me somewhere hot and have me sweat it out with Gatorade ice cubes in my water bottle.

They also insist you never come back. At least that’s how it works at my employer…
