I’ll take Sheetz anytime over a Wawa.

Is this in retaliation for the embarrassment that’s come from Biden’s staged Sheetz video?

At least the government will help make sure that private businesses are operating in a manner that promotes their agenda. The best part is that those same policies will help to ensure that these companies suffer financially, which results in less tax revenue for the government, so they then raise citizens taxes to fund even more diverse and progressive initiatives.

It's like self destruction, on fast forward.

Lots of places do this.

Even Civil Air Patrol does this as well as the military and gov agencies.

They require background checklist for guns and LE.

Usually the argument is did them getting a DUI, pot conviction, or assault make them not trustworthy with the cash register?
