well, lying on an application for any reason is grounds enough for being fired i do believe..
i recently, last 6 months or so, had to fill out an application, and of course it said have you ever been convicted of a felony, and my being a recovering addict, the answer was an obvious yes..
i thought about telling the truth or not as i skipped the question and filled out the rest.. my conscious got the best of me and i said yes.. go into to see the manager, my now boss, and he at first skips over that part, asks me a bunch of crap, then goes back and says, oh, i see you were a bad, bad boy, and i say yes, and tell him what all happened, and told him i have almost 14 years clean, and he says, congrats, can you start tomorrow?

Its not required. Those are questions that get the company different tax breaks. Most of the recent applications I have seen recently ask them but states that it is optional.
My boss asked for a copy of my dd214 for tax reasons. I said sure but redacted parts.
To the op you don't even have to answer it.

What us Europeans might call a Pharmacy, then.
I swear every pharmacist I've ever collected an antibiotic prescription from was dipping into the stock for self gratification. Man I've seen some wild eyes behind the counter at Boots....

Have you checked on that with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ? It sounds stupid when i say it but i worked for one of the worlds largest companies & handeled thousands of apps , our apps never asked specific questions like that , when i went thru the management training seminar on EEOC compliant hiring & applicant interview processes we were forbid to ask specific health questions naming specific diseases .
If it truly is legal for them to ask then i gotta believe its legal for you to refuse to answer truthfully without giving grounds for termination should they find out .
This is the kinda shit that ya get with Right to Work laws & union busting corps like wallgrees rite aid & wallmart , not trying to go off on a union/scab labor debate but this whole deal smells bad to me & reeks of discriminatory hiring processes .
Anybody else in this thread think this is wrong or have any inside info as to the legalities of the health questions ?

The ADA places restrictions on employers when it comes to asking job applicants to answer medical questions, take a medical exam, or identify a disability.
An employer may not ask a job applicant, for example, if he or she has a disability (or about the nature of an obvious disability). An employer also may not ask a job applicant to answer medical questions or take a medical exam before making a job offer.
An employer may ask a job applicant whether they can perform the job and how they would perform the job. The law allows an employer to condition a job offer on the applicant answering certain medical questions or successfully passing a medical exam, but only if all new employees in the same job have to answer the questions or take the exam.
Once a person is hired and has started work, an employer generally can only ask medical questions or require a medical exam if the employer needs medical documentation to support an employee’s request for an accommodation or if the employer has reason to believe an employee would not be able to perform a job successfully or safely because of a medical condition.
The law also requires that the employers keep all medical records and information confidential and in separate medical files.

I know I don't have to but I was just wondering if it would increase or decrease my chances of being hired.

It is wrong. I'm almost 100% sure that if op looks closer it will be labeled as a questionnaire and is not required. I've skipped ones a couple online apps and the ones I've seen on paper were at the back of the application.
I was told it was for tax reasons but I have left them blank due to concerns of unscrupulous hiring practices.

On a personal note why did your employer ask for your military discharge paperwork ? Is there a tax break for hiring vetrans ? If there isnt there should be .

fuck working retail get out of that shit now, dont even look back, fuck that place. find something you want to do you are wasting your time with that shit, do you want to be one of those people that are like 50 years old working at a place like that? they dont give a fuck about you. also you forgot to include if you are left handed or not because some times people confuse lefties with people with mental problems because they think so much differently.
