PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - On Thursday, the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission announced a lawsuit against Sheetz, alleging the convenience store and gas chain of denying employment to a class of job application due to their race.

The U.S. EEOC alleges that Sheetz has a practice of screening all applicants for records of criminal conviction and then denying them employment based on said record. The EEOC's charge claims that Sheetz disproportionally screened out applicants who are black, Native American, and multiracial.

Just when you think it couldn't get any worse, the EEOC openly admits that there was no evidence Sheetz discriminated against any favored minority but screened too many out because they disproportionately had records of criminal conviction.

For those of you outside the Sheetz market area, they run a large chain of 24/7 gas and fast food restaurants which serve and awesome variety of sandwiches among other things. They handle a large volume of cash transactions and need reliable and honest employees to operate efficiently.

The EEOC is going after them for no other reason than being successful and having deep pockets.

Didn’t Brandon do a photo op at Sheetz a couple days ago.

I’ve been in a few Sheetz, and they creep me out for some reason. Not that that matters the issue at hand, obviously.

At least Sheetz doesn't have the 7-11 job requirement.

“ Sheetz has a practice of screening all applicants for records of criminal conviction and then denying them employment based on said record. The EEOC’s charge claims that Sheetz disproportionally screened out applicants who are black, Native American, and multiracial”

The government is saying colored people are more likely to be criminals and not hired

Sheetz is my favorite for road trips. Great sandwiches, clean bathrooms, friendly staff. And once again, the Leftards ruin everything 😡

Seems to me Sheetz has been attacked by several government agencies over the past 8 or so years. What gives?

Only if they have a criminal record.

And to hear liberals trip over themselves when they say that background checks are racist and questioning them as to whether they think minorities are all criminals is golden.

“The EEOC is going after them for no other reason than being successful and having deep pockets.”

...and not giving enough money to Democrats (probably).

VERY SUSPICIOUS - Perhaps Sheetz had agreed to make a big event out of Biden’s visit, but then came to their senses and so the visit became an embarrassment.

I wonder if he asked them for campaign donations and they said no.

Isn’t that what the federal agencies are for?

They hire mentally disabled people at the one I go to.

They are white, so there’s that.
