Sheetz has discontinued a “smile policy” that drove a former employee of the convenience store chain to quit her job last month, Stephanie Doliveira, executive VP of people and culture at Sheetz, said Wednesday in an email to HR Dive.
The policy had drawn media attention in recent weeks after the former employee published a Jan. 9 Facebook post that included a video recording of a conversation between herself and a Sheetz manager prior to her departure. In the video, the employee is asked to provide a timeline for a procedure to have her dentures replaced. She explains that her insurance provider will not cover the cost of temporary fillings and that it will take nine months total to receive new dentures.
