I enjoy tasty food, so I’m already boycotting.
…seriously their burgers are bland as fuck, never understood why they’re so popular.
Ribbit
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.
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.
Dude, getting caught in the rain without an umbrella = deal with it. Pretending there’s not still a pandemic is foolish.
This is a novel virus and we already suspect it’s fucking with people’s brains and hearts in ways we can’t detect. We have no idea what “long Covid” is really doing to people yet. For example, if you get chicken pox as a kid, you may get shingles as an adult.
For your sake I hope being flippant about this doesn’t come back to haunt you.
Yeah, they want to deal with it by wearing a mask but their company won’t let them.
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.
There’s gotta be better things to boycott than this.
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.
Is cowshwitz Harris Ranch? It smells bad on the way, but what’s wrong with it, I mean beyond whatever is wrong with any similar place?
I hadn’t really researched it; i was just turned off by the nickname. Actually Temple Grandin said they’re not bad to the animals, other than fattening and slaughtering, which is kinda their job.
Honestly I will never eat there. Easy since there aren’t any in Winnipeg… But hey every little bit helps right?
There’s none in Canada so I’m doing my part!
This doesn’t really seem like the right community to post this. Maybe try a news community, like [email protected]? (I think I linked that right)
In-N-Out bans employees from wearing masks
wut
We’re past the 3rd year mark. Nobody is wearing masks and all the plexiglass has come down long ago. The masks were to keep hospitals from being inundated and keep everyone safe until a vaccine could be developed. Now that nobody is wearing masks we still don’t see the hospital overcrowding and massive issue.
It’s over.
removed by mod
So what does it matter then? Why do masks need to be specifically prohibited?
I’ve actually noticed a lot of the plexiglass barriers are still up recently, for whatever reason.
I’d rather have dicksinabag anyway.
That does sound d much better!
There aren’t any around unless I hop a plane ride. So I’m in by default lol?
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
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.
They aren’t exaggerating. There are literally pallets of peanuts just out in the open at Five Guys. It’s one of their things.
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.
Easy, I started my boycott after trying it for the first time 10 years ago.
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.
Good, why do you need a damn mask?
removed by mod
Because they prevent the spread of disease. An american way to think about it is: A dead customer can’t spend money
Like what disease? Before 2019 there were no diseases to be spread? You are so worried? Stay home
Like literally any respiratory disease as well as all the other bacteria and viruses that spew forth from your mouth every time you open it to make vapid uninformed comments.
We’ve been using masks for this purpose since 1899, not 2019.
You live in a society that provides you with a whole fuckton of advantages and you are responsible for the wellbeing of the people in that society. I know your head is warm and comfortable up there but get it out of your arse mate
Lol hahhaahhaha
Why do you hate freedom?
Da fuck are you talking about?
You just advocated for the removal of the freedom to wear a mask. Freedom works both ways.
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?
