The reason i ask is because people that do (non prescribed)drugs usually are associated with mental illness.

No, the question is why are welfare recipients not drug tested?

Because it's an unnecessary expense. Most of the time the employees don't make much money. As long as the person is on time everyday and doing a good job than what they do off work is their own business.
Now Police, Firefighters and Civil Service positions drug screen because they work for and represent the government, and are paid by tax dollars so they are held to a higher standard.
If it is a factory with heavy machinery or a job where you have to drive than they may drug test because lives are at stake.
I say if people socially do drugs and their not a mess it's no body's business people need to exercise strict M.Y.O.B.

It depends on a restaurant. Some restaurants run drug-screens. Most don't.
I think the reason for that is that most restaurants have very high employee turnover and difficulties in hiring new staff and filling up the shifts.

Better to ask, "Why are office workers drug screened?" If there aren't job performance or safety issues, piss testing is just harassment.
Unions are missing a good recruiting tool by not insisting on "No Piss" clauses wherever there aren't valid safety concerns.
And, as a practical matter, testing low income transient workers would be cost prohibitive.

When I worked as a restaurant manager, you know that HR's response was to that question..."are you kidding, if we did that, we'd lose 80% of our employees!!"

the profit margin in the restaurant business is very small, to piss test employees would put them out of business.

It depends upon the employer.
