There is an actual reason for this: it’s because people buy other people’s urine for drug tests. That little bottle has to be warm when you hand it over. I’m guessing in this case, it’s a high-crime area and people have to report to their probation officers.
Just shows what a farce the whole thing is.

I cant tell if you are privileged enough that you have a microwave in which to heat urine, or if you have urine clean enough to pass a drug test. Either way - I’m proud of you.

Plus, this gas station is likely very close to a PO. Heating up piss to smugle in from 20 minutes away won’t likely work very well.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 months ago
In order to have a microwave, you need to have money. Poor people tend to lack that. Especially poor people who are also drug addicted who just want to keep out of prison or keep their job.

Not to mention when the court orders you to have regular drug testing done, you’re on the hook for them. And they ain’t exactly cheap, especially for someone making 10 bucks an hour part time.

The whole legal system is designed to make non-wealthy people fail to rehabilitate.

You have to pay for the Tests yourself?

It’s one microwave, how much could it cost? 1000 dollars?
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 months ago
It might as well cost $1000 if you are barely scraping by.
All this tells me is you’ve never been inside the home of a poor person, let alone a poor person who is also suffering from addiction. If they have a home at all.

Maybe they can spend money on microwave instead of drugs or urine.

Tell me you don’t understand addiction without telling me you don’t understand addiction.

I think oftentimes they find use of their own urine demeaning and so prefer to outsource.

you seem smarter than a squid
seven_phone@lemmy.world 3 months ago
A squid is able to get through a hole.

Also, cold piss isn’t nearly as thirsty quenching

In your opinion.

That is the joke, yes
