So I’ve been employed at Sheetz for about 3 weeks or so. Now, the job itself, I can do and manage. I work in the kitchen. I’ve worked in food off and on for years.

The problem I’m currently having is my one coworker (I’ll call her Amy, not her real name).

Anyways, so I worked 5 days straight, all 8 hour shifts. Which is fine. Most places (food or not) do that. I agreed to a PART TIME position because when I applied and got hired, I was under the understanding, it would’ve been part time.

So after my 5 day stretch, I was going to be off 4 days. I was planning on, through the work app, picking up available shifts throughout those 4 off days. Didn’t think the 4 days off was a huge deal, because again, I agreed to a PART TIME position.

On day 4 of my 5 day stretch, Amy asked me when my next off was. I said, “After tomorrow, I’m off for like 4 days, but I will try and possibly pick up some hours through the app. I’m only supposed to be part time anyways.” Amy then went on and said the app isn’t always accurate and to check the paper schedule in the back. Which, I already did and it was the same. She then went on to say neither were right and I work and I don’t know how to properly read a schedule.

Then Amy literally went to a manager and tattled about me being off for 4 days and threw a fit. So to please her, the manager just threw me on the schedule for the next day (making it 6 days in a row now) and so on. Within 10-11 days, I’m only getting one day off. All because Amy threw a fit. But, Amy got 3 days off in a row and nothing was said? She also overheard a different coworker saying he had ONE day off after 6 days and he’s refusing to come in on his day off. (Understandably), but then Amy threw a fit and said he was ignorant and whatnot for refusing to come in.

This also isn’t mentioning Amy’s smart mouth towards everyone. I should also add, she is NOT a manager or manager in training.

I’m coming here because I’m unsure if I should bring the issue up to a different manager, or even higher ups. It’s not that I don’t want to work, but I don’t want to work days I was supposed to be off all because someone threw a fit like a 5 year old, and stuck her nose where it didn’t belong. I even had to cancel a doctor’s appointment because I was just thrown on the schedule. I’ve thought about even calling off one day and just taking whatever points or write ups they give me. Having one day off in 10-11 days is crazy to me, especially when I was only supposed to be part time. Plus someone threw a fit.

TLDR; coworker threw a fit because after 5 days working straight as a part time employee, I was getting some days off and to please her, a manager threw me on the schedule

UPDATE: September 2026 – September 1 came and went with no Sheetz across from the Wawa near Downingtown. The project is still moving, just not as fast as the company first promised.

The convenience store and gas station chain plans to redevelop a shuttered Rite Aid in Downingtown, diagonally across from the Wawa at the intersection of East Lincoln Highway and Bondsville Road.

Has anyone been able to log in at home at all yet for benefits or even requesting days off? I'm in and out of doctors offices a lot and it's really frustrating to only be able to make requests while I'm at work. I have memory issues and tend to forget.
