I had to read based on the title, not something you see every day.

Anyone recall last April when someone put i up a bunch of “Sheetz - coming soon” signs on the construction fence around the Exxon on Forbes in Oakland. Truly a masterclass in pranking.

I recall someone talking about this, and it was said that GetGo had an agreement with Sheetz to only have GetGo within the city limits. Not sure if that's the case though.

Can you not check with the previous owners, neighbors or with Duquesne Light or whoever your energy supplier is? I signed up, in the grocery store with Inspire Energy and they have a flat rate, or did, for the first two years and have saved a significant amount on my first bill.

Right, but the owners aren't obligated to keep a restaurant open to maintain jobs for their employees, and 2 months' notice is pretty reasonable.

Listen, while I prefer Sheetz, I’d kill for a sizzli now and then….

Yeah there was. I’ve seen photos of at least one on one of those vintage Pittsburgh IG accounts. In the 80s on the corner of Liberty and 9th where the now RIP (but opened in 1987) Sammy’s Corned Beef was. Seems like Sheetz had a pretty big presence in PGH for a period ending in the late 80s.

I'm sure they're thrilled to leave their position at a popular spot that tips relatively well, all in cash

Huh? Their employees are going to have 2 months to find new jobs.

Does the tone of this make anyone else mad? I guess the owners are tired and I'm sure they contributed a major part to making the machine work but just putting all their employees out of work bc they couldn't figure their own shit out and delegate is cold. Any business they start after their little r&r break certainly won't get my patronage regardless of pedigree

This ruined my night. Totally deflating. We need more of these places, not less (fewer?).

Yeah though they might get a little less, they are definitely less prone to that 45 to 50 degree day in January than we are that can melt everything quite quickly.

Wow. I wish it wasn't so late or I'd call right now. Have you gotten dental work done here?

I recently quit, what a weird fucking place. Cheap as hell company, just one of the most miserly companies I've ever worked for. I've worked for some cheap ass companies, but none that reliably make 4b per year. It's not just with pay, it's workspace and technology too.
The Pittsburgh offices are kind of a dump, at least I thought so. Their tech floor was nice but everything else seemed very 90s-esque. Dark, dusty, fake plants everywhere, stacks of boxes, and dilapidated bathrooms. Then you hop on video chat with someone in New York and it's shiny and modern. Even India had a better space.
Technology is a complete joke - shitty data strategy, outsourced IT, and absolutely abysmal intranet and a patchwork of hr systems.
The layoffs are the real kicker. You never feel safe. Working for a cheap company can work for people if you felt safe, like you could just work there for a long time doing 9-5 and not get axed as long as you did your job. They lay people off and prance around on CNBC like it's Goldman but they spend like what I would imagine from a mom and pop tax prep company in Monroeville.
I would advise not working there.

This is the correct answer. Giant Eagle also made that deal with Wegmans.

If you’re in the south hills, don’t go to Altitude trampoline park, go to Sky Zone. Altitude is cheap, but it is an absolute shithole embarrassment of a business.
