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.
