The Sheetz convenience store chain has been hit with a lawsuit by federal officials who allege the company discriminated against minority job applicants.
Sheetz Inc., which operates more than 700 stores in six states, discriminated against Black, Native American and multiracial job seekers by automatically weeding out applicants whom the company deemed to have failed a criminal background check, according to U.S. officials.
President Joe Biden stopped by a Sheetz for snacks this week while campaigning in Pennsylvania.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed suit in Baltimore against Altoona, Pennsylvania-based Sheetz and two subsidary companies, alleging the chain's longstanding hiring practices have a disproportionate impact on minority applicants and thus run afoul of federal civil rights law.

I happened to see a comment today by someone on a site about true crime police shows. They said people who habitually watch them a lot (me) tend to develop a mistrust of people they encounter during the day. Also true of me.
But we’re right.
Sheetz should require eligibility for a Secret security clearance to get a job there. Then they could “discriminate” based on a criminal record just like how the Federal Government does it.
That’s why you keep all receipts and reports, especially related to HR stuff. It only takes one shady lawyer with a bottom-feeding practice to file a lawsuit.
I’m a landlady so I have a built in BS detector.
If they fight this case it will likely end up in front of a Pennsylvania jury. They stand a very good chance of winning outright against the Biden Gestapo.
And these are terrible optics for Biden in PA — in an election year.
The US is circling the drain faster and faster, speeded up by the crooks at the District of Corruption. It’s sad to watch such a once great country go down the drain and all the fancy war material can’t make up for it. Once morality goes down the slippery slope it is the beginning of the end. I am just glad having seen better days, sorry to say
Sounds like the minorities have a disproportionately higher crime rate than non-minorities.

That is inevitably what must happen -- and not necessarily as a deliberate strategy.
I’m going to hire a bunch of white people with criminal records. Their only “job” will be to apply for jobs so companies like Sheetz can inflate the numbers of their white job applicants rejected for employment due to a failed criminal background check.
I wonder where I can find a financial backer to get this off the ground. :-P
Assuming they’re rejecting whites with records why is that a problem?
The same principle holds for women who wish to become firefighters. More women will fail the ‘drag a 250 lb man to safety than men, so the test has to go.
It’s illegal to refuse to hire felons??? Since when???!!
Sheetz don’t fail me now.
Hoho! Stealin that.
Seeing how woke Letterman is now, I bet he apologized for the joke.
Gotta destroy the middle class before the Obidens can create The New Man.
Homo Sovieticus.
No doubt they’ll come after Buc-ee’s next.
50% of all murders in the United States are committed by a demographic which only accounts for 13% of the total population.
It’s even worse than that, vast majority of murderers are male, you are including males and females of that demographic. Closer to 7% responsible for 50% of murders.
In my working career I can recall two instances of black employees being criminally prosecuted.
At a company I consulted with a black female employee took the SSN’s from employee time cards and opened credit card accounts.
A defense contractor I worked had a black QC technician and his black female assistant who sold proprietary business process information to a foreign company in Turkey.
Without realizing it for every decision we make in life we look 10 or 12 moves ahead for risks and ramifications. Blacks are crime prone because it seems they can’t reason past that first move of gratification.
