Sheetz To Review Their “Broken Tooth Policy” For Employees
Sheetz is going to review their “broken tooth policy” according to Business Insider. The gas station/convenience chain store says it’s reviewing the policy after complaints. The policy is used against hiring people with dental problems. The company handbook states its tooth policy loud and clear. It says “applicants with obvious missing, broken, or badly discolored teeth (unrelated to a disability) are not qualified for employment with Sheetz.”
Several former employees have said they think the “smile policy,” as some refer to it, is classist and “kind of disgusting.” After Business Insider heard about the policy and requested a copy. Sheetz then said that they were doing “a more specific review. They want to ensure “our policies are aligned with Sheetz’s commitment to foster a culture of respect.”
Sheetz operates 116 locations in North Carolina. Sadly some of our listeners were probably affected by this rule.
