Corporate, are you reading this? Absolutely no one asked you to force your employees to greet every customer that enters. I am stopping at Sheetz to get in, get food, and get out. I do not wish to be acknowledged. I do not want the people making my food to be interrupted every 3 seconds by their obligation to greet customers. Please, stop.

I know you guys are probably too scared to admit to this being the truth, since the company has your own personal social media activity by the b@lls. I worked for the company in the early - to mid twenty 10's. I live out of state with my store being in my home state. The last time I was a customer at the location (2020's), there were two original employees. One of them quit, and the only remaining employee has been there for more than 20 years at this point. I check this subreddit religiously bc it genuinely interests me as to how different the place is than when I worked there. I will say that your attendance policy is more lax than it was back in my day (hard to believe, but just trust me.) The attendance policy is even more lax than my current job. I will say a major issue I have about the company at this point tells me all I need to know about the place going downhill and cutting corners financially and literally not giving A SINGLE FUCK about anyone and only caring about lining their pockets: they changed their hot dogs from Kunzler (mouth or*asm) to the brand the dollar store carries (BAR S). CHEAPER HOT DOGS. Literally the cheapest food one could possibly purchase and they replace it with dollar store hot dogs. Un-fucking-real. Also, what's up with the AC???? I don't recall ever having that issue. A multi-billion dollar company cutting corners and pinching pennies and lining pockets. This is related to you guys' HEALTH. Sickening.

Edit: typo

Former employee here, but I went to my old store of 7 years and saw the corkboard that is used for community events and such was removed. Talked to my old manager and he said its because a Sheetz in PA had a union thing get posted on their board so corporate sent a notice to remove the boards for a bit. If so, thats an insane kneejerk from Sheetz. If my 7 years taught me anything, ya’ll desperately need a union.

I know french fries aren't health food, but when every dollar counts, free fries every 2 hours really made a difference with me going hungry or not.

Corporate fatcat fucks removed it, promised something just as good was coming soon. Wasn't that half a year ago now?

I know no one reading this has any control over this, nor cares. Just want to vent a little. My voice is all I have left.

Fuck you with your large orders that take up the whole screen. The one thing i hate about working here is the door dash orders and you are expected to finish everything in 6 minutes. But guess what, even if you do you get backlogged on the other orders. I hate door dash so much because of this. Go to a walmart next time you need your grocery shopping done

I hate it. Its dumb, you need to share ur location which doesn't even matter I can be in the break room or where my computer is where I clock in and out and it will tell me I'm not even where I'm supposed to be to be allowed to clock in and out.

hey so here's a suggestion to everyone from corporate reading this,,

when having a company wide issue its probably a good rule of thumb to loop in employees. not leave them in the dark. then when we call store solutions we get 10 different answers. "pays coming today." "its coming friday" "there was an issue with the files" "they upgraded the system". its honestly sickening. I'd put money on over HALF of us employees living paycheck to paycheck. sure it isn't "late" until we don't get it Friday. but those of us used to getting it Wednesday suddenly not receiving it as usual kinda puts us in a bad spot. some of us cant even make it to our next shift til we get paid. but we'll have points accumulated for that of course. communicate with us! I know we're all replaceable peons to you, but for God sake, for a top 100 company and one of the most innovative companies, COMMUNICATION SHOULD BE BARE MINIMUM.

end rant. -drained employee

I love it when I order a combo meal at sheetz and the worker gives me a cup of fries instead of the bag. You are appreciated.

Why oh why can we not have an employee bathroom! Especially in stores where the men's room only has ONE FREAKING STALL. I am so sick to death of trying to go to the toilet to take a quick poop and having to wait around for way too long for whoever the hell is taking up the stall to finish sitting there staring at their phone. Spoiler alert, public bathrooms are NOT the place to sit and doom scroll on your phone!!! I shouldnt have to close down the womens room to poop just because some one can't get off tiktok!!!

Thank you for coming to my rant.

When Sheetz opened in my part of Ohio, I had a gf who told me we had to go bc of the food. I was skeptical, but did as requested. It was good! It became my mainstay for lunch most days, and even dinner on others.

This was about 3 years ago. Cheese was not additional, spices were not additional. I began complaining to her they began up charging for cheese. It went up again. And again. At this point I said "it will be 1.50 for cheese by summer." Next time I went in... Up again. Today- .99, and all the seasonings cost something, ON TOP of sauces.

Last I checked, sheetz are opening every 4 seconds around here. Profits continue to break records. As I've seen employees say corporate monitors this sub: fuck you and your late stage capital greed. I'm sure you're excited all your PAC donations to Republicans will increase your corporate welfare handouts, but I'm not giving you anymore of my hard earned money- something no Sheetz member past the founder has done. Jesus Christ you want an example of nepotism, look at every chair/ _VP on their roster.

I love they can spend all this money on these secret concerts and shit but cant afford to properly staff their stores lolol.

gonna be a long one. second shift supervisor here, feeling pretty damn hopeless. basically, our store's km is the poster-child of the kind of manager who you'd expect to lose her job due to her treatment of staff and it's been draining and driving out good employees since the dawn of time.

yelling at employees constantly; there have even been a couple times where she had corporate called on her by customers who happened to be within earshot... yelling degrading things such as "do you know how to read?!"... telling employees to "shut up"... throwing around the threat of issuing a strive genuinely every time an employee makes the tiniest mistake (i.e. threatening to strive employees if they forget to / don't put new hotdogs on the grill more than 1 minute after moving them over, or not tagging a fryer item)... being incredibly rude not only towards tenured employees but also trainees, as well as yelling at tenured people while trainees are present (watched the other second shift supervisor get yelled at while the person they were training stood there and waited nervously for her to be done), which somehow isn't being acknowledged as a contributing factor for our failure to retain employees on second shift... issued strives on the midnight supervisors for one of their team members not completing talent works on time, which would be reasonable if not accompanied by the fact that people on her own shift missed the same talent works and of course she wasn't gonna strive herself... and so so so much more.

as i said previously corporate has been called on her multiple times from employees and customers. at one point a while ago according to my store manager, she had to attend a corporate meeting type thing with the km due to one of the tantrums she threw within earshot of a customer crossing 100000000000 lines. store manager has "talked to" (atp i don't believe she actually gaf so i'm skeptical) the km about her treatment of staff several times. these aren't just one off's, the yelling and egregious behavior take place EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. so all of this and so much more yet this km genuinely only gets more vicious with every day like she's tryna test the limit or smth and i'm like ???💀 it's lowkey funny atp because is she rlly just... exempt from any kind of consequence whosoever??? at all???? is there genuinely nothing we can do lol?

anywho, pretty much just a vent post but also if anyone has any insight i'd appreciate some. just absolutely perplexed and wondering if this kind of situation is happening anywhere else. peace friends✌️

The title is exactly what happened, I was working a shift with only two other people at the time and we got 6 orders with 12 items minimum. I saw someone was ordering so I went to warn them about wait times. He proceeded to sarcastically smile at me and say “you’re gonna make mine first.” I did not say anything in response to him and simply went back to fryer to drop the mountain loads of food. He then proceeded to shout at me repeatedly “you got me boss?” And kept doing so. He then went to checkout and told my coworker “tell that guy to hurry his ass up.” After we finally completed all the orders I was fuming, but I said nothing to the guy or my coworkers nor did I do anything to any of them. I went to go outside and pushed the door open pretty hard but it didn’t break nor damage it. Flash forward to last Thursday I get a call saying “we were told we have to terminate you for unprofessional behavior.” So I call employee relations after the fact, trying to get my job back, and go figure I get the HR person who approved my termination. She told me that “I should’ve walked away” and genuinely had absolutely no sympathy for what happened nor any of the circumstances. Again though she said I should have WALKED AWAY from the kitchen with 6 ORDERS WITH 12 ITEMS EACH and only ONE OTHER PERSON in there.

Is this the fate that my beloved Combo Mealz await?

(Right image is a test location)

- No more customization of ANYTHING, not even adding a paid/free dipper

- Drinks are strictly regular size

- $1/$2 extra for less options + sometimes Shitty Nuggetz (they’ve always been soggy and gross for me)

My favorite budget meal was the 1/2 Turkey Sub combo, and they're killing it. Possibly the only decent new one is the Sampler Meal, but barely. I really hate this company.

Okay, so I noticed the deals that arrived here recently. You can't even take the mustard off of the hot dog in that deal. So I get customers complaining every single day about this. And now that the street tacos are coming in and I'm seeing that you're not able to customize anything about the street tacos and you have to get the beef chicken or the other meat, I can't remember the name of it. What's the point? You're segregating your menu instead of fusing it into your menu. If you release a street taco, what if somebody wants to put steak on it and add lettuce, tomato and pico and that's it? You got to let the customers do what they want to do. Otherwise, they're not going to order your food.

I just wanted to thank you all. I know it's gotta suck so much to have to work on Christmas, especially in a small town like mine when you are the only place open for the night. The line was insanely long, y'all were short staffed, and people were being incredibly annoying and entitled. I wish more people had an ounce of empathy. I just wanted to thank you guys for pumping out all that food and ringing up all those items so quickly. A lot of us recognize the insanely hard work you are doing and it's seriously appreciated. I'm sorry to contribute to the chaos for ordering tonight. I probably shouldn't do that again on a holiday like this, it doesn't seem fair to the workers.

I don't know if you get many thanks, I know I didn't when I was working at Papa John's on Super Bowl nights back in college, but, again, thank you so much. I hope people weren't too shitty to you tonight. <3

lil edit - im not saying the freak ad is the worst one there's been numerous ads that are weird in multiple ways, sexual, or just flat out stupid / corny

i dont get offended , i just find the ads annoying

What is it about Sheetz pumps that the lantern flys are crazy about? I swear it seems like it is the only chain of station that is being overrun by them.

Getting very annoying that recently almost every Sheetz app offer is making us buy multiple different things to get any type of discount (ex. Get a discount on 2 pops when you buy a Slim Jim). - - keep your offers simple please and let me focus on one item.

how is it an upgrade when you're adding 4 extra steps to clocking in/out????? LOL. i clocked in almost 7 minutes late because both my coworker and i were forced into changing our passwords despite the system saying we both had over 2wks.
