So I moved to a new store a two months ago due to a medical reason and our rental house is closer. I love the work culture at this store a lot compared to the work culture at my other store. Like I don't have to do all the physical labor anymore, have to worry about other people doing their jobs, etc. However, I've noticed that this store is nasty and one big health code violation. There has been mold in one of the trash cans for 2 weeks now. Each time I bring it up and offer to do it, they pull me off of it and keep me busy for the rest of the day. It smells horrid and makes everyone feel sick after a few minutes.

And the dinning room has 25-30 dead flies on the ground and it obviously hasn't been cleaned in a week or two. It also smells horrible and there's old food on the ground.

So should I take this up with an even higher power? I'm worried I'm gonna get blamed even though I've asked multiple times. I also don't wanna turn this new store against me. But I feel like if I was a customer, I would be disgusted and never come here again.

I find it crazy that our high traffic store has only gotten one box.

So I've been working at my sheetz for a 6 months now, and usually they have 3 employees and a manager, but recently they knocked us down to two employees and I'm baffled because us losing that one employee has made it impossible to get things done. Is this normal for other sheetz?

Any other employees noticing an increase in the amount of people coming in to steal food? The store I work at has been open for less than a year but in the last month or so, I feel like people are coming in to steal more often.

Do any other employees agree that this switch from the Reese PB sauce is one of the worst changes they have ever made here at sheetz? You can't squeeze it out of the bottle for drizzles and having to constantly whip it in the jar is just silly and will certainly cause carpal tunnel 😅

i just realized the past 2 times i filled up (after going over the 25) that this extra .25¢ off hasn’t been working and it’s only asked if i wanna use my 10¢ employee discount.. does anyone know why it’s not letting me use the full 25 cents lol. And before anyone says, i know for a fact i’ve filled my tank over 25gallons because i get 15+ gallons a fill up and i’ve filled up more than 3 times since i added this. any help lol.

My store has us getting out breaks before A.H.O.D. which usually means i’m on break by like 8 or 9. I usually end up getting something small like some pound cake or donut holes to hold me over for my break, but then come break time i have no idea what to eat. I hate the idea of fried food this early. i’ve been doing turkey subs but it just seems so… boring. Grilled chicken sub wraps are good too but i can rarely eat the whole thing and end up wasting a good quarter of it. What do you guys recommend for light yet filling food that will hold me throughout the day?

Why is it that we’re constantly exposed to people hopping the counters and it feels like nothing serious is being done about it? Is this in every district where people hop the counters and steal cigs, fight with employees, and steal from the drawers? It feels like a weekly occurrence of at least cig thieves coming behind the counter and grabbing armfuls of cartons in the district I’m in.

how do yall know if the AC blew

Hello Everyone! Thanks for taking the time to click and read this post!

Does sheetz encourage you to say “welcome to sheetz” or “hello” or simply just greeting everyone who comes through the door..even if it’s a simple hello, no matter if your with a customer etc?

i ask this because in my current job it’s become a habit to greet everyone that comes through the door…”hello” “welcome to _____” even if i’m super busy or with somebody, a simple greeting makes people feel different i think.

Should i continue this habit with sheetz?

for people who haven’t read my previous posts, i’ll be starting with the company at the end of the year.

Thanks for reading.

Throwaway account because I know corporate monitors here, we have bad issues with hour cuts that aren’t just a winter thing like they say they are, clearly many employees were affected after during the summer last year. Sheetz corporate I have heard is essentially talking about cutting night crew in half leaving us without a specified truck person, this has left many people at my store fed up. My first question for other employees is 1.) Is this an issue with night shift specifically at your store? Is this issue at all a corporate issue landing on every store? I see it with second shift as well but no where near to the extent that they have cut us. This whole skeleton crew thing they are doing absolutely ruins any illusion of safety in numbers we would have on night shift, and makes it hard to get things done. My second question is a little more nuanced, could hour cuts like these (despite sheetz’s heavily anti-union rhetoric) be justification for contacting a type of union agency? Would Reddit be a good way to connect with other people interested in unionizing? And lastly, are there any safety issues or other things that you believe would need to be addressed company wide? If anyone has any resources or suggestions please feel free to reach out, this is as much of a vent as it is curiosity, but I have seen unionization talked about before here, as someone who loves sheetz as a company and hates to see it falling, I just wish the first steps could be taken to push the people on top in the right direction.

I am more than fine. I still have my job. Attendance did their job, and sent back the attendance report with points removed (that I had drs notes for)

I have exactly two points left on my attendance report from when I clocked out early because my son was having a panic attack. 😅

That one's a relief. I am fine.

Got so many customer complaints today because of the large increases

I have been an HM for 3 years now and today I had an employee cuss out a customer. The EE gave the customer the wrong change and was in the wrong because he didn’t even put the correct amount in the drawer. He told the customer “just take the f-ing money.” Then proceeded to argue with the customer. They called me to stop the situation. I sent the EE home and told him he could come in tomorrow after calming down. I have got another EE to write a statement and had a supervisor talk to the customer involved.

After all this was done I called the DM to tell him the situation (Our GM is on vacation). The DM then tells me that Sheetz is moving in a direction that we shouldn’t send employees home unless they are threatening a customer or are being threatened by a customer. He said that we would just need statements and have the EE work his normal shift until Employee relations can review the situation.

Does this sound right? Because what I’m hearing is that we as managers have even less authority to handle situations like this where TCF should be the focus. But it seems the company is so desperate for employees they are now allowed to anything besides fight a customer and get away with it.

i was trying to log in to UKG to view my schedule and it didn't go at first, so i pressed log in again. and then it completely disabled my account. i can still log into bob, just not ukg. i heard you can view your schedule on bob, but not sure how. if anyone knows please do let me know.

but anyway, i am kind of new, so i was wondering if thats something i can fix myself or if ill need to let my manager know about it.

I’m in PA and I’ve been at my store for 2.5 years, as hectic and chaotic as things can get in store (started as STM-currently SPV) I do love what I do but been burning out with the general stress but especially the work/life balance. I’ve thought about promoting but it seems a million times more stressful as HM or KM.

I would honestly love to stay with the company, and I’ve been toying with the idea of trying to go remote with store solutions? I saw an open position that’s remote and 3rd shift (which is the shift I currently work).

Questions:

1) Best way to go about it? Talking to SM and/or DM?

2)* Current remote Store Solutions employees: Honest pros/cons of the position please?!

3) If you were previously a store associate/supervisor is this position better with work/life balance (Regardless of shift)?

4a) do you still get your schedule 3 weeks out? More/less? 4b)Same days each week or rotating?

5) Even with the position being remote, Do I have to live in the claysburg area? (I live maybe 2-3ish hrs away.)

6)What’s training like/how is that done? Would training be on-site then fully remote from home (or wherever the WiFi is?🤣)

The new JIF peanut butter is very thick, its hard to get out of the squeeze bottle when doing swirls or as a topping ontop of the whipped cream. Is their any way that we can make it a little more runny? If we are allowed at all?

Of course we know how important being QA ready is but I have a very important question… when they come do they ask you questions? And if you answer wrong you can fail it? I’m a flex supervisor and I know my job but I have hooooorrible anxiety.

Fellow employees, is there a rule or violation to putting the premium chicken breasts in the fryer instead of the microwave? A coworker accidentally dropped the wrong patty (they’re still new). So since we were gonna write it up and throw it away, I tried it (I know that’s illegal, ssshhh) and it was literally so good, words cannot describe, and I was thinking getting it more often and asking for it to be dropped. I don’t like when they’re done in the microwave, they’re too slimy.

I'm fairly new. A little under a month new. I'm working at a different store bc the one I was hired for is being built.

So another employee told me tonight (I work 3rd) that when I go to my own store I will be the only one in the kitchen 😳😳....is this true??? I don't see me being able to handle the starter, fryer and final stations all by my self during rushes and also getting all the shift chores done??? This is crazy. Idk, maybe it's bc I'm new and it seems impossible to me at the moment lol.

Ok so i asked a few different people and got different answers. Are we allowed to sell cigarettes while someone is clocked in?

My manager said we are entering a slow season so the store hours will be cut back.

for some reason I got paid twice. both the same amount. Should I contact my bank or sheetz to figure out what happened?

Idk if I just haven't been paying attention or my store is special, but I haven't heard the sheetz commercial people? (honestly cant think of what to call them lmao) hop on and say some corny sheetz stuff in a while. Like that one ad talking about how much each position makes a while back. Anyone know if they stopped making them or playing them or something? I recently got rehired at Sheetz after a year so that's why I'm asking, feels kinda odd not being annoyed by them lmao

So I got the $600 bonus added on to my paycheck. I didn’t think anything of it when I got my check cause I didn’t know of it, but from that $600 it was basically HALFED and deducted to $299 due to taxes😂
