Gas station chain doesnt allow 'missing, broken, or badly discolored teeth', 90 days to resolve

Sheetz is reviewing its controversial 'smile policy' that prohibits employees from having 'missing, broken, or badly discolored teeth'

Sheetz says it's reviewing a policy against hiring people with teeth issues.
The policy says Sheetz cannot hire people with "missing, broken, or badly discolored teeth."
One employee described the policy as "really disgusting and kind of classist."
Sheetz says it's reviewing a policy that bars its convenience stores and gas stations from hiring people with visible teeth problems.

Like all retail workers, employees at Sheetz are expected to show up on time and provide pleasant customer service. But a more unusual policy in the company's employee handbook says that "applicants with obvious missing, broken, or badly discolored teeth (unrelated to a disability) are not qualified for employment with Sheetz." Insider obtained a written version of the policy and confirmed it with three former employees who had or have access to it. The policy is under review after Insider's inquiry.

Sheetz's policy contains a section aimed at current employees who don't meet its smile standard. "The timeframe for resolving issues such as this should not typically exceed 90 days," the handbook reads.

"In the event a current employee develops a dental problem that would limit their ability to display a pleasant, full, and complete smile, we cannot permit this situation to go on indefinitely," it says. "In cases such as this, the employee and store management, to include the District Manager and Employee Relations as necessary, will work to come up with a mutually agreed upon resolution."
