getting out of working at kaiser

I live in California, graduated with a B.S in molecular biology from Stanford, and have been applying to jobs. I applied for a position at Kaiser, but was given a lower position than the one I applied for because they still wanted me on the team. This position pays $20 an hour… for context, it costs $20 to park in their work parking structure everyday. I have student loans to pay off, rent in the bay area is impossible, not to mention other living costs. I no longer want to work there but am so far into the hiring process, and was considering just waiting it out and working there until I found a better position. However, with me having to go out of my way for a drug screening , their insistence on contacting every single one of my past employers, and the fucking $20 an hour they approved…

However, with me having to go out of my way for a drug screening , their insistence on contacting every single one of my past employers, and the fucking $20 an hour they approved me for (when my academic and professional experience in no way can justify that), I want to withdraw right now. How do I let them know that I am no longer interested? I also feel bad because they offered me this position in lieu of the one I had applied for because they knew I wanted to work there at the time.
