Walgreens needs to be very cautious about who they hire for obvious reasons. They define themselves as "a global family of trusted companies with a reputation for doing the right thing." So they have that reputation to uphold. Any representative of their brand could be responsible for safeguarding confidential information. You will be working with the public and may be working inside their pharmacy with controlled substances. Assure the interviewer that you are most willing to comply with any form of background check they require.

As with any interview question, you want to focus on being completely honest in your response. As embarrassing as it may be, if you do not think you will pass the drug test or have a criminal background, you need to let the interviewer know that now. If passing the drug test will not be an issue and you do not have a criminal history, assure the interviewer that you will have no problem passing both tests.

If passing a drug test will be an issue for you, it is best to wait until you are clean to apply for a Walgreens job. Many companies require a pre-employment background investigation and drug test, and you must pass both to work in this profession.

"I am happy to comply with any background check required as my record is clean. I do not participate in drug use, either. You can be assured that if you hire me for this role, I will maintain a clean record."
