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.

Years ago, I was at a Burger King, in Pittsburgh, waiting for my order.
The black manager was talking to a black male and said:
"You have an armed robbery conviction. The owner won't let me hire you."
The black male said "That's racist."
The manager said "How so? The owner is my father."
The black male stormed out, knocking over a trash can.
Good call, on the manager's part.

“I knew there there was a reason why Sheetz’s are so clean and well-run.”
Not to mention their food is very good and they deliver.

But if the government did not arrest these people, then there would no criminal records. So it all the government’s fault!

Actually the demographic in question is closer to 5% or 6%. You have to pretty much exclude women, young kids and old men.

All those stores, and they didn’t even need to change the name from Sheetz.
