TL;DR Summary

The Sheetz convenience store chain, with over 700 stores in six states, is facing a discrimination lawsuit from federal officials alleging that the company discriminated against minority job applicants by automatically rejecting those who failed a criminal background check. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed the lawsuit, claiming that Sheetz's hiring practices disproportionately impact minority applicants. The company has denied the allegations, stating that it does not tolerate discrimination and has attempted to work with the EEOC to resolve the dispute. The lawsuit seeks to force Sheetz to offer jobs to unlawfully denied applicants and provide back pay and other benefits.
