@luckytran Ever since the daughter took over in and out it’s been having issues.

@luckytran next, handwashing bans?

@luckytran Absolutely baffled at the abundance of freedom demonstrated here. Hell yes.

@luckytran
I wonder if it's not time for In-N-Out workers to unionize?
Wonder what immunocompromised customers think?
I got my covid from a guy in line at TJs...not long after local store management voted to allow non mask wearing.

Valid Medical Note

Please note that catching covid gives you a 60% chance of harboring accumulations of CoV spike protein in your skull-brain-meninges axis causing inflammation and leading to or exacerbating dementia & risking loss of IQ

Fortunately eating enough hamburger will clog your arteries, give you a stroke and solve that little covid embedded in the brain problem

@luckytran im not shopping there.

@luckytran #profitsoverpeople that’s how America rolls

@luckytran eugh, definitely never going there again (luckily i didn't like it to start!)

@luckytran

Horrible indeed, but I think I've found a loophole to achieve "the importance of customer service and the ability to see associates' smiles."

@luckytran We're disposable to them. That's why they want to ban abortion, they need to have a ready supply to exploit.

@luckytran so mask mandates "infringe" on individual freedom and liberty, but anti-mask mandates are fine? Miss me with that bullshit.

@luckytran They've moved from "you do you" to "you do whatever we're doing".

@luckytran

@luckytran

I already would never go back to In N Out.

This ensures it

@luckytran Wow, I didn't realize In-And-Out has so little regard for their employees. But, I guess that's consistent for corporations.

@luckytran
Horrible. What are they thinking?

@luckytran You gotta be kidding me. Dress code that prohibits masks? What in the flying macaroni is this?

@luckytran who isn't excited about restaurants reducing food safety?

@luckytran … gawd … I mean, I’ve never thought, “working at a burger shop for minimum-wage would look great on my resume!”

but, … getting fired for wearing a mask, in a place that serves food?
I would totally put that on my resume.

@luckytran We both know that masks restrict the spread of Covid (and other respiratory illnesses) to people around us. Masks save lives. Banning them is insane.

@luckytran fuck you, In-N-Out

@luckytran This *is* the Bad Place, Lucky.

@luckytran they actually ruled they can’t be liable for spreading it to household members of employees, which I kind of expected. They can still be on the hook to employees for this I’m pretty sure.

@luckytran reminder that the courts actually said "the business is absolutely at fault but the correct ruling would hurt too many businesses so fuck you."

Eat the rich.

@luckytran and still these ghouls pretend not masking is about "freedom", and still people expect us to take them seriously. Exhausting shit.

@luckytran how is this not analogous to banning PPE in other circumstances? Like can you ban office workers from wearing hard hats? Can you ban chefs from wearing oven mitts / aprons?

IDK, maybe it's not a perfect analogy but it seems like if your workers want to wear masks / hair nets that seems fine? Who actually gives a shit about that day-to-day other than management?

NOTE: This is very separate from /requiring/ PPE or some kind of dress code, since this is /banning/ PPE on the job. And a face-mask when you're handling food seems pretty fucking normal, sick or otherwise.

@luckytran cw boost: covid, legislative violence

@luckytran in n out is ... mormon, i think? its run by a large religious org. and they hide religious texts on their cups and whatnot

@luckytran I can't find that page on the in-n-out web site. link, please?

@luckytran so lame. Wearing a mask is a choice; doesn't hurt anyone. What happened to freedom of choice.

@luckytran in-n-out: OUT

@luckytran Wow this is absolutely fucked up.

@luckytran That was all In-n-Out was looking for. Absolve them of liability and they'll transfer risk to the guys behind the counter...

@luckytran I wrote an email to the CEO Lynsi Snyder and will follow-up with a physical letter to their corporate office. I'll share below if anyone wants to adapt parts and do the same.

I'm writing to ask you to please reverse your recent decision to ban employees from wearing a mask unless medically exempt. This decision shows not only a complete disregard for the health and safety of your employees and customers, as everyone is affected by disease spread, but is also profoundly ableist and lacking an understanding of current (and historic) context. Requiring employees to not only divulge their medical information to their employers but also openly to the public is a mindset rooted in othering people who are disabled or otherwise medically vulnerable. In general, it's bad when a marginalized group must publicly declare their status as such, but especially now when people are already struggling to survive an ongoing pandemic amidst the hostility of antimask sentiment. This decision furthers that othering and hostility, making those employees into targets. But this decision doesn't just impact your employees directly, it feeds into that larger cultural antimask sentiment and perpetuates ableism. This lack of understanding of the impact of your decision is a clear message that it's not just those employees your company does not value, but all disabled and vulnerable people. Please show your ability to learn and understand the impacts of your decision, as well as your disapproval of ableism, and reverse this decision. Further, I urge you to demonstrate actual value for your employees and customers by adapting to our reality and implementing measures to reduce the spread of COVID and other pathogens in your restaurants and other workplaces. This can be achieved through simple measures like improving the ventilation and filtration in buildings, improving sick leave policies, and other actions including, yes, masking by employees.

Thank you

PS
This company push to ignore our current reality and new cultural understanding of disease spread is not just callous, it's boring. Be better.

@luckytran Ugh, I definitely won't be going to In-N-Out anymore, for all the good it will do... their restaurants always have lines of cars wrapping around them here

@luckytran I rate a disease-free experience over compulsory smiles from the people who work there.

@luckytran
I wonder why the California In-N-Out employees are not included in this policy.
#COVID #mask

@luckytran That’s not really what the Court ruled. A third party can’t sue an employer when they get COVID from an employee (bad ruling, btw). But an employer can get sued (and INO is being sued) for failing to provide adequate protections in the workplace. And if the employee gets sick, they can file a workers comp claim.

@luckytran isn't that company owned by a conservative Christian family? Why are you surprised? I'm not.

@luckytran
Count me OUT!

@luckytran everyone really is acting like COVID is over at this point, huh?
