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.
Sheetz said Thursday that it “does not tolerate discrimination of any kind.”

Federal officials said they do not allege Sheetz was motivated by racial animus, but take issue with the way the chain uses criminal background checks to screen job seekers.

Watch: Biden Visits Sheetz Gas Station, Customers Sit And Watch Photo-Op With Employees
Obviously “Sheetz” is a KKK reference, therefore racist. /s
I hope Sheetz chooses to spend the money needed to fight this.
Why not In-N-Out?
Maybe because they certainly have the money to fight.
As my county sheriff neighbor says, "you do realize the same police you are calling 911 for, are the same people you are calling 911 on, don't you?"

Ghetto lottery...
Bullshit.
I regularly visit Sheetz stores. Plenty of black people working there. They don't appear to be criminals. And that's a good thing.
Why would anyone invest or own a business with all the govt intrusion?
The FBI does the same thing, or perhaps it is a resume enhancement today?

Sheetz was Karen Kentral during the COVID re-openings.
Probably because their name triggered some whacko into thinking it meant (white) sheets...
Ain’t that the Sheetz?

D’oh!!
We all know what that leads to.

“Biden visited Sheetz the day before the suit was announced.”
All orchestrated and pre-planned by the Obama goons, as usual. And how dare Sheetz not want to hire criminals and reprobates like the federal government does and insists upon doing. Who do they think they are? Where do they think they are? Living and doing business in a free country, still? Silly Sheetz.
Maybe some organization fighting crazy laws will help them take this up to the USSC?
