Good thing I don’t live anywhere near an In-N-Out. Saves me the trouble of avoiding them.

It’s all alleged at the moment, but if found true, fine their ass
In N Out… of the morgue
I just don’t understand this lmao
Whataburger is better anyway.
Spicy ketchup FTW
What an idiotic stance to take.
If you don’t like this, tell them how you feel:

For my California friends, here’s the relevant code: https://www.dir.ca.gov/title8/3205.html
That’s really messed up. It doesn’t affect my experience as a customer and frankly I’d anything, it makes things better, because mask also blocks any droplets. So if employee even gets a cold I’m less likely to catch it too.
It should be treated like wearing a hair net.If employee wants to wear it, it is hard for me do see any downside by letting them.
Just another reason not to go to In-N-Out
You mean besides the shitty burgers and fries?
It depends what you look for in the budger. If you like a big portion, a lot of meat, then In n Out is not for you.
But a lot of people like burger created that way.
It’s not even the best fast food burger in town. I have at least 3 places within walking distance that have better burgers.
I’ll notice that you didn’t say anything about their fries. It’s ok. Their fries are indefensible.
They’re edible if you get them “well done”. Then they’re like rectangular potato chips.
I’ll take your word for it.
Right, be consistent and ban hairnets because employees wearing them reminds customers that their hair falls out. It’s all about consistency! Lol
Gloves? Good as gone! How dare you insinuate that hands are unsanitary? Customers have those too, that’s just rude!
So the people that like to complain the most about their freedoms being taken away seem more than happy to restrict the freedom of others.
Why is Lemmy basically a clone of the leftism I thought I left behind from Reddit?
Why is reality biased against my conservative views?
Hmmm I dunno, maybe you can go ask the people at Lemmy.ML. Cause it’s a real mystery why a website started by a Marxist lenninst would be leftist
Lol “leftism”
Well they’re certainly not right leaning, how else would you describe them
Who is “they” in this case? The entirety of lemmy?
Well I was just going off the original comment, but yeah, definitly at least the entirety of the comment section.
I mean, the “left” is generally with more people than the “right” ik you look at previous elections in the US. And the US is considered pretty “right”, if you compare it to the rest of the world. So isn’t it kinda logical that an open platform leans slightly to the left?
Yeah, I have no problem with it. My original purpose was just to point out that, while the term “leftism” used in the original comment is usually derogatory in nature, it is pretty accurate in this case.
Maybe there’s an instance out there more aligned with your views.
I thought so too…
See… this is the point at which the whole conservative covid reaction, to me, goes from just weird and unsettling to full-on bug-eyed insane. AND hypocritical.
Their whole deal with masks and vaccines is that they should have the right to decide for themselves. I think they make dumbass decisions that cause entirely avoidable harm, but okay - I can grant at least some bare semblace of legitimacy to self-determination. I don’t vagree, but at least I can see their underlying logic.
But banning masks? What the actual fuck? What possible difference can it make in their lives that somebody else is wearing a mask? And what happened to their whole self-determination thing? Do they sincerely believe that nobody should be able to tell them whether or not they have to wear a madk and that they should be able to tell other people whether or not they can? How does that even work inside their brains? What possible logic leads to “I don’t have to do what you say but you DO have to do what I say”?
Seriously, are they literally insane? I sincerely can’t think of any other explanation. It’s not just people acting in some way other than my preference, but people acting in a way that’s blitheringly irrational, even by their own principles.
I suspect that when future historians write about this era, they’re going to call it something like The Idiot Age, because to them it will be marked by people inexplicably doing obviously and painfully stupid and irrational things.
I mean, businesses like these want their employees to look the same.
Having some wear masks and some not is jarring for the pearl-clutchers of the world.
To be honest, if any of you put a little bit of thought into this, you’d come up with some pretty rational conclusions.
Whether you agree with the policy or not is up to you. But trying to argue they’re ‘literally insane’ is just hyperbole to cover up your lack of understanding and insight into the situation.
If they actually cared about safety and consistency, they would make mask wearing required for everyone. But they don’t care about consistency because they argued at first that everyone should have their own choice, and they don’t care about safety because they are now banning usage of PPE. The article states that In-In-Out’s statement was about being able to see people’s faces, not uniform consistency. The article also mentions a specific location that was shut down due to vaccine mandate violations, which corporate appears to have supported, which has nothing to do with uniform consistency and everything to do with some very specific political nonsense. Your argument really doesn’t hold water, and it should be a serious offense to prevent a worker from using safety equipment. Especially safety equipment that has a good chance of keeping them from having to use any sick days (do they even get sick days?).
No, they don’t care.
They care about optics, which they’ve concluded will make them more money than logic or reason.
So that is a reasonable take? They don’t want people to wear masks because they’ll look different? That’s a lot of justification for an absurd corporate mandate.
Chains like these care a lot about consistency across their brand.
Being in the workforce for 40 years now I do understand how corporations feel.
Masks help in general. And if an employee who has a cold wants to wear a mask that’s a net benefit for customers and society.
Maybe I have more faith in the American people to NOT FREAK the fuck out if they walk into somewhere that has a masked worker.
Probably unreasonable. Ideas of personal choice - until it comes to something where people disagree. Then personal choice gets removed.
These businesses care a lot about presentation.
While it would be nice if people viewed wearing masks in a restaurant as cleaner and more-inviting, that’s just not the case.
People have evolved to become suspicious of those who cover their faces.
I guess it really says something about those people who view masks as an attack on themselves based on your statements
I don’t think viewing someone as suspicious is the same as them attacking you.
Their whole deal with everything is that they should decide for you.
It’s not a new thing, it’s the slave master’s concept of rights: “It is my right to to take away other people’s rights.”
They are lying, plain and simple. From pot, to interracial marriages they have always been the party that’s the most obsessed with controlling people’s personal lives. Everytime we act surprised about the “hypocrisy” were playing into their propaganda. They want to build Gilead and will tell people what ever gets them closer to their white nationalist goals.
Their whole deal with masks and vaccines is that they should have the right to decide for themselves.
Yeah, and before the Civil War the South’s rhetoric was that they should have the right to decide for themselves whether to allow slavery, but if you look at the constitution of the confederacy it doesn’t exactly allow the member states to choose not to allow slavery. It’s all opportunistic.
They were lying. They said they supported self-determination to throw out the existing laws, and with those laws gone they passed laws that enforced their morals, which was the ultimate end goal.
The Idiot Age
The Great Polarization
Their whole deal with masks and vaccines is that they should have the right to decide for themselves.
Close, that’s what they said they believe. Anyone watching them actually behave during the pandemic knew that anyone wearing a mask was liable to be attacked by these brainless psychos ranting about the “kung flu” or whatever other racist name they had for it merely for wearing a mask in their presence.
I wasn’t directly attacked but my friend and I had the same experience in our 60% Trump area.
We weren’t together when each incident happened, but they’re so similar I’ll describe them together.
We were just at the checkout: me at a convenience store; my friend at a major grocery store chain.
So, we couldn’t reasonably move away. We had to stand there to pay for our purchases.
An old man encroached my space; an old woman encroached my friend’s space. We both politely asked them to step back for social distancing, and they refused.
I wish I had my friend’s ability to think and speak on his feet. After he checked out, he told the old lady “I asked for you to do something, that cost you nothing. All you had to do was take a few steps back. I hope in the future, if you ask someone the same, they treat you like you did to me.”
As for me? Even though I just said my request and didn’t respond further, the guy was a huge jerk who tailgated me for several miles in his huge pickup truck. Like headlights in my mirror tailgating… during the day.
Who tf cares that much? Honestly… just take a few steps back. Doesn’t cost you anything, like my friend said.
As for me? Even though I just said my request and didn’t respond further, the guy was a huge jerk who tailgated me for several miles in his huge pickup truck. Like headlights in my mirror tailgating… during the day.
And then they wonder why people don’t want them on lemmy.
They don’t believe anything. They think what they’re told to think. They check Fox News all day every day to make sure what they’re supposed to think hasn’t changed but they have no beliefs. And they’re willing to go along with literally anything as long as it doesn’t require critical thinking. It’s terrifying and sad.
Dealt with that shit a lot. Thankfully the old “My grandma has cancer and I don’t want to be the one to kill her” line usually worked.
They are overrated anyways.
Yet they always have lines around the block. People can’t get enough of the animal-style.
An In-N-Out trip is going to be at least a 20 minute wait if you’re going through the drive thru. I’ve never seen a dead In-N-Out. They are always absurdly busy.
Yeah, I never got the hype. Pretty standard fare.
as a Brit in the us I’ve come to understand its all nostalgia.
I would absolutely demolish a Wimpy for nostalgia’s sake back home, despite it being mid fast food
That’s exactly what it is. It’s the fast food I grew up with. It’s the burger I ate after going to the beach. It’s the burger I ate when my roommate was too lazy to go out, so he’d give me money and his car keys to go get it. It’s the burger I ate in high school and college with classmates.
Well over thirty years after all of the above, it still takes me back to those simpler times.
I rarely go anymore because of some of their politics and the fact that they’ve more or less disregarded employee training in their Texas stores where I live now. The California employees know what the hell they’re doing to a man. The Texas employees, well, not so much.
The soggy fries, everybody seems to love, gross me out.
Wait, soggy? I guess it depends on the place then. Their fries in my favorite place are a hit or miss (most of the times they add too much salt), but I don’t remember them being soggy.
Soggy isn’t a good description here, but they don’t do a double-step cooking process to give them the really good crispiness. The burgers are great for the price, but yeah the fries are def mid.
Way better when you ask for them well done fwiw
I don’t like them normal but I like them light. I am a freak.
You can order them well done.
man, I thought they were cool.
They may be Californian but they’re still conservative. They’ve got Bible verses on their cups. They’re a for profit business. They think it will help their revenue, since they know more people hate masks than will leave if there are no masks.
There are plenty of things that makes no sense at In-n-out, for example, I don’t even know how it’s possible for them to make fries that are somehow both too dry and too greasy at the same time so that it’s completely inedible without slathering a ton of cheese, grilled onions, and thousand island dressing on them.
