1. I'd say they pissed it away.

[Gregory Peccary]

3. I guess the money went In-N-Out of their bank account

[spanone]

6. 👍🏼

[Gregory Peccary]

4. Yay for Louisville, my hometown!

[BannonsLiver]

34. I think not.

They have no stores east of Texas, and a quick Google search found no evidence they are planning one. On the upshot, Louisville is getting a Jack in the Box.

5. That money would have been better spent

On the employees who help them make their profits. What a waste

[Sympthsical]

11. They pay and treat their employees well

They’re known for it.

For teenagers getting first time jobs, competition is steep.

7. I heard they also were big as Assolini supporters also

I stopped even thinking of eating their burgers when I found this out.

[Celerity]

9. Assouline? The book publishers? They are one of my favourite imprints

[kimbutgar]

36. Assolini is my name now for TFG or the orange maggot

That darn spell check gets me all the time!

[Celerity]

37. ahh, oki, now makes sense

[AZSkiffyGeek]

8. They're not as up-front about it as Chic-Fil-A, but they're a prominent Christian company as well

They have bible verses on all their packaging and cups.

[Retrograde]

10. No they don't

I do eat their food occasionally. They do not print Bible verses on their packaging. What they do print is a reference to a verse, and usually on the bottom of the containers so it's not easy to find unless you look for it. I think this "there are bible verses over everything" comes from people who've never actually patronized the place.

OTOH, they do pay well above minimum wage here, and apparently treat their employees well.

[SoCalNative]

12. Printing reference to the verses

is just as bad. It's only because there isn't enough room on those cup bottoms to print the actual verses they are referencing, or they would.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

13. Distinction without a difference

I also eat their food and think their burgers are pretty good (Not the fries though).
Printing John 3:16 is still printing a Bible verse even if it doesn't say "For God so loved the world".
And they treat their employees so well that they expose them to disease.

[Hekate]

14. That's disappointing. They're a California business, & their food is really good...

I can’t have In-N-Out every time I’m on the road (cholesterol) but I have to tell you just a few days ago I stopped in somewhere else for a non-hamburger sandwich and got slop in the form of finely-shredded limp lettuce, smashed limp tomato slices, sodden bread from whatever the secret sauce was — and the coffee was lukewarm.

In-N-Out has just been unfailingly fresh and crisp.



ON EDIT REGARDING RELIGION: I personally do not give a rip what their religion is or whether they print verses from their holy book on their disposable paper products. Are they imposing a religious test in their hiring practices? Do they discriminate against employees? Are they paying slave wages? If the answer to all that is No — if it harms none, do what you will.
OTOH, once they enter the field of RW politics, I will oppose those behaviors.

41. food is ok at best, way too much hype

[lagomorph777]

15. In-N-Out with a giant cactus.

sideways.

[Xolodno]

16. Its been well known they champion the GOP and some conservative causes.

They aren't too overt about it and the amount they do donate is usually fairly small. And they pay well and treat employee's good. Tommy's is better in my view, but they don't have as many locations. And they got fined not too long ago for underpaying their employee's.

If it was Chic-fil-a or Hobby Lobby, you would see an extra "0" on that amount.

[ColinC]

18. I will always love in-n-out

Being a vegetarian, their grilled cheese animal style and animal style fries will always hit the spot.

[ColinC]

17. They pay their workers fair, give them decent benefits in a safe environment and make a profit from

it. They can do with their money what they want as far as I'm concerned. But to echo one of the above posters "pissed it all away" is definitely a fair point.

[Mr.Bill]

20. It's not a safe environment if

you are not following Department of Health directives. In San Francisco they are refusing to check for proof of vaccination for indoor dining. The Health Dept. shut them down and they have re-opened without indoor dining.

While San Francisco has a high vaccination rate and is doing well in the COVID battle, their restaurant is at Fisherman's Wharf so most of their clientele is going to be tourists from other areas, many of them from foreign countries. This is very irresponsible for their employees and customers.

[ColinC]

21. Yeah the San Francisco incident is definitely an exception.

...and the fact they may challenge the vaccine requirements nationwide could dramatically change my opinion of them and lose them a customer.

[Mr.Bill]

22. What worries me is they are not franchises,

so it makes it look like this is a corporate decision. Could be a rogue manager. If we had real Journalists on the local news here, they would have looked into that.

[ColinC]

24. Yeah that's something I was wondering

I mean, I imagine there are already in n outs in plenty of vax card places -or at least will be. Lots of in n outs in Los Angeles, so if it is a corporate thing and not just a rogue manager, we should find out soon enough.

[RFCalifornia]

26. Too bad KTVU canned Frank Somerville

[Mr.Bill]

29. I wasn't aware of that.

Sounds like so far it's a "suspension".

[RFCalifornia]

39. Yeah and it's fucked up

But KTVU is Fox so....

[Cha]

19. Stupid Greedy POS

[Initech]

23. It looks like I will no longer be patronizing In N Out.

That and now this:

[Mr.Bill]

25. Makes one wonder what other health regulations

they are not following.

[Initech]

28. Yes it does!

Remember when health and building inspectors nearly condemned Mar-a-Shithole for not following basic health protocols and building codes? I wonder how many others out there are like it?

[Mr.Bill]

30. I mean after all,

they shouldn't be forced to be the food poisoning police, should they?

[Initech]

33. Oh yeah! What's wrong with a little salmonella or e.coli? My body my choice!

31. None of these establishments in my neck of the woods.

But even Chick-fil-a doesn’t do that.

[MurrayDelph]

32. I can't boycott

Last edited Thu Oct 21, 2021, 07:53 PM - Edit history (1)

any business where I had already decided that I didn't care for their product.

And even if I did like them, I have since moved to somewhere where the nearest location is 135 miles away.

[uponit7771]

35. I don't want to here shit about high taxes from any Cali KKKon after 300 mils spent on useless party

.... line recall failure

[rockfordfile]

38. boycott them. That's a un-American company

[joetheman]

40. OK, I'm officially "OUT" nt
