Convenience store chain with hundreds of outlets in 6 states hit with discrimination lawsuit

Sheetz Inc. Operated 700 stores in six states and discriminated against Black, Native American, and multiracial job seekers by automatically rejecting those who failed criminal background checks, per U.S. Officials.
Allegations by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in Baltimore claimed Sheetz's hiring practices disproportionately affected minority applicants, violating federal civil rights law.
Despite federal officials not alleging racial bias, they criticized Sheetz for using criminal background checks to screen job seekers, prompting a lawsuit seeking job offers and compensation for unlawfully denied applicants.
