I have worked in retail and also restaurants and I do know that work stations are assigned to certain people, but if anyone else has access to the same station the only way this person could have been charged is if he confessed. While working as a Home Health Care worker, I found some drugs in a consumers room just sitting out in the open. My supervisor was in the same room talking to me and saw them as well. She called the police and when they showed up he merely confiscated the drugs and asked if anyone else had access to the room and if the door was open when we found it. Yes to both questions. Result: no charges. The officer said since the area where the drugs were discovered had several other people in and out of it that it would be too difficult to charge any specific person and not worth the trouble for a small amount of drugs.

Personally, I couldn't care less if a quadriplegic has a joint once in a while. I probably would too.

It's Ottawa, Illinois not Canada.

@TJK Superstar: Maybe the parents are suing because they asked for the half oz. instead of the 8th?

@othium: The kid was stupid enough to confess, I'm sure. As soon as it was gone he probably asked around. Hey, have you seen my stash anywherez??

What strange thing will turn up next in a Happy meal? So far we've had a condom and a dime bag...what's next for the hat-trick? Gun? WOMD's? Crack pipe?

if it didn't happen in ottowa, i'd be thinkin they're from homewood or flossmoor...

Sure you can plant your own pot, but it takes an insane amount of care, and isn't as easy as say, watering a house plant a couple times a week. And remember, stoners are a lazy folk. It's much easier to go out and buy something that's ready to go then to take the time and make it yourself.

"Obviously, this is something we will just not tolerate," said Jane Hulbert, a spokeswoman for Oak Brook, Illinois-based McDonald's. "Certainly this is an isolated situation. We want to make that very clear."

oh, i don't know jane. seems to be a recurrent theme here, don't ya think??

ROFL to the comments though. i'm gonna get fired.

What did they want, LSD?

It's at the point now where nobody even thinks of that stuff as a drug anymore, but it is. And before i get flamed for the previous statement, let me just say that I attended an art school for 4 years, and have seen the myriad stupid shit that the stuff can do to a person...

But of course...

But for God's sake, Mr. Stoner, you can't be handing out pot in Happy Meal boxes.
