  • Question
    How do I pass the drug test at Walmart?
    Community Answer
    Don't use drugs. If it's too late, you should drink a lot of water the days before the test and hope for the best. However, be cautious when drinking too much water, which can disrupt your electrolyte balance. Take vitamin B to prevent clear urine, and exercise to excrete the drug through your sweat. Alternatively, add bleach to the sample.

    Why does a background check take so long?

Also, it's not the only thing the management/hiring employees are doing all day, they have to keep doing their other management jobs too.
