A woman who worked at an Ohio Sheetz was forced to leave her job after her ex-husband knocked all her teeth out, because company policy forbids employees from working with “obvious missing, broken, or badly discolored teeth.”
really heartbreaking story:

“I was informed that policy states all Sheetz employees must have and remain with a perfect beautiful warm welcoming smile,” Rose Marie Counts wrote on Facebook.

Business Insider reported that the company is currently reviewing its “smile policy” but defended Counts’ manager, stating that she “was handling this type of situation for the first time.”

INCREDIBLE NEWS: Sheetz tells that it has discontinued its "smile policy," and Counts said the company offered to pay for her dental work.
“Our culture at Sheetz has always been" when we're exposed by an entity with some power, not just employees we can push around, we do the minimum to avoid attention to our meanness.

Look what a little investigative work & courage from a surbivor of abuse can do. Good work ppl pressuring this change. But until we see universal healthcare including dental, & workers' rights, we are still in a dystopia.

I'm glad they rectified this! I loved Sheetz, but I stand with dv survivors!

And good for her... she politely declined the offer for both the job and the dental work as the dental work will be done by a dentist who had reached out to her because of the original story

Which she declined, hopefully with two middle fingers in the air.
