As someone living on the East Coast who is never within 2,000 miles of an In n Out Burger, I’ll continue to do my part.
Love the In N Out double double, it’s tastier, and cheaper than McDonalds, but I won’t be going back to In N Out again, as forcing employees to be less comfortable and less safe in their working environment, one which necessitates them dealing literally face to face with a mostly uncaring unsafe unhealthy public is the line I draw in the sand. I still choose to wear my mask in public places like retail stores, because COVID is still very real. Everyone should be able to make their own choices, and stripping this right from an employee is not something I want to support with my patronage.

I still wear a mask in stores, but it’s mainly because I don’t want to breath in whatever is flaking off the 400+ pound man in stained pajamas waddling around the Walmart. A lower chance of spreading or catching COVID is just gravy IMO.
I’m pretty sure masks don’t block most smells.
It won’t block the smell, but it will block most particulates coming off them. Like… if some of it flakes off, do you really want some what ever those suspicious stains on his pajama bottoms are in your lungs?
This is bassakwards. Forget covid, all cooks should be required to wear a mask while in a kitchen for the same reasons they’re wear hair nets and we have sneeze guards on salad bars. I don’t want some cook coughing on my burger.
Yeah exactly. Why more people haven’t taken COVID as an opportunity to learn that spitting germs out of your mouth on food is gross, is beyond me.
Fuck you if your spouse or parents are going thru chemo, huh?
Don’t eat out? It’s their responsibility to stay safe, not everybody else’s responsibility to keep them safe.
I meant, what if the in and out employee was living with someone immunocompromised.
Would that count? Should the employee be forced to tell an in and out manager that they are living with someone like that?Then don’t work a job that has you interacting with thousands of people a day. If you’re the only one wearing a mask it’s only keeping YOU from spreading what you already have and you shouldn’t be working anyway.

Don’t work a public facing job if you are contagious. Is this a new concept to you?

DONT GO TO WORK SICK. If you work anywhere that actually cares about their employees or customers they don’t want you coming in and have sick days for it. I’m not saying to never go to work and live off some trust fund you idiot.
doctors note
In N Out is okay. I’ll never understand the cult following this place has. It’s literally a case study in manufactured scarcity.
Same. Everyone used to rave about how good it was, but I always thought it was just average. Slightly better than the major fast food chains, but on-par with every local chain.
It was the standard for me. Not the best but certainly above the average. Didn’t care much for it until I moved to the east coast.
Literally why?! This is so fuckin stupid.
Ribbit
It’s never going to be gone, specifically because of people like this.
Just like the flu never went away after the 1918 pandemic, again, because of people like to this.
And yet the world still turns. Everybody else has just forgotten it, and dealt with it if they caught it. There’s lots of things in the world that are “sub optimal”. Deal with it.
People are dealing with it. By wearing masks
Just because everyone else has forgotten it doesn’t mean the aware just have to shrug and forget about it. The average person is ignorant AF

Yeah. No real American would [blank]. And just because you think everybody wearing masks makes the country better doesn’t mean it’s a popular opinion. It’s been 2byears since everybody mostly stopped wearing masks because they vaccinated. Please come to the modern day. Most people fucking hated wearing masks.

You went from one echo chamber to another. Just because the people around you agree doesn’t mean it’s actually the popular opinion.
They never really acknowledged it was here. I live near one of the Colorado locations and it has been (in)famous for COVID outbreaks the entire pandemic. And, for whatever obvious reasons, In-N-Out hasn’t had the same closures enforced on them that every other restaurant did. During an outbreak they’re supposed to close for a few days in our state, but they’re basically the only restaurant that has refused to close and has never faced repercussions out here. It’s maddening.
There’s TWO in colorado. One opened last year, the the other just opened in April.
More than that now, actually. There are two just in Colorado Springs and a bunch up in Denver Metro.
This is why we NEED worker’s unions. They can fight this corporate power bullshit.
I will fight the urge to drive 635 miles to my nearest In-N-Out because of this.
There are none within a few hundred miles of me so … I’m doing my part?
They’re mediocre AF anyways.
No they’re not, boycott anyway tho
Aligns with what my friends who’ve had the (mis)fortune to have had the chance to try it have said.
I mean honestly, it’s a competent burger but it’s a fucking hamburger. It’s not haute cuisine. Also, their fries are limp as shit because they’re fresh cut but they don’t prep them or par cook them. I cannot for the life of me understand why people wait in line for this shit. But I say that about a lot of things.
I quit going there recently after reading that most of their meat comes from a place that is so bad it’s nicknamed Cowschwitz.
Its bad even getting close to Cowshwitz. The air is kind of green as you get close to it on the 5, all of a sudden you remember it’s there and try desperately to roll up windows or shut down the airflow in the car. In the end, it doesn’t help.
When I visited California, there were a few people who were very excited about sharing the In N Out experience. I like a good hamburger, so I was looking forward to it. It was simultaneously disappointing that it was just McDonald’s with a different name and off putting that its adherents think anything otherwise.
Oh no don’t you start spewing hateful lies about In-N-Out. It isn’t a knockoff McDonald’s, its a double double orgasm in your mouth. it’s so much more than “just a burger.” I mean…that first bite-oh, what heaven that first bite is. The bun, like a sesame freckled breast of an angel, resting gently on the ketchup and mustard below, flavors mingling in a seductive pas de deux. And then…a pickle! The most playful little pickle! Then a slice of tomato, a leaf of lettuce and a…a patty of ground beef so exquisite, swirling in your mouth, breaking apart, and combining again in a fugue of sweets and savor so delightful. This is no mere sandwich of grilled meat and toasted bread, dude This is God, speaking to us in food.
Damn straight.
TIL In n Out was the best burger in New York City. Should’ve made it easy to find!
Yep. Can’t believe I caught downvotes for this
My first thought was that a lot of people didn’t get your joke, but I got a lot of downvotes for my straightforward comment, so I think you’re getting downvoted by both the people who don’t get the joke and the people who do get the joke, but think that In N Out has a decent burger.
I like In-N-Out’s food okay. What I really like is their simple menu. It’s the only fast food my family eats because they can do gluten free safely. The owners are definitely conservative and christian (and weirdly so imo) but those freaks know how to run a well-functioning restaurant. The mask ban is obviously stupid but I won’t boycott over it. Sucks for the workers, but also In-N-Out pays better and appears to treat their staff much better than your typical fast food joint. I’d hate to see those jobs shifted over to something like another McDonald’s, for example.
Five Guys is really good about allergens, including gluten. They have a special allergen free zone in the kitchen that is apparently a huge pain in the ass to prepare for use each time, but they make sure it’s not got any of what you’re avoiding. If you ask for something to be left out of your order they ask: “Allergy or preference?”
Five Guys? Good about allergens? I opened the door and was faced with a horror show. Peanuts to the left of me, peanuts to the right. Peanuts to the center. I retired from the field.
Yeah, idk… I went to their website and the fries are not flagged for peanut allergy yet it also says “cooked in 100% peanut oil” so that does not inspire confidence lmao
They aren’t exaggerating. There are literally pallets of peanuts just out in the open at Five Guys. It’s one of their things.
It’s probably 100% refined peanut oil, which removes the protein people are allergic to during the refinement process.
Interesting. I had no idea.
Yep peanut oil in the US is safe for people allergic to peanuts.
That’s good to know, thanks. I’ve never been to a Five Guys and I’ve heard mixed reviews. Some love it/some hate it. I hear they’re expensive? I will try them for safe GF.
Five guys is absolutely delicious…but they have peanuts in shells for free to snack on in the dining room so beware if you’re allergic.
There’s none in Canada so I’m doing my part!
