"Now, the company's pandemic stances have landed it in hot water again, as a tweet from Dr. Lucky Tran, a molecular biologist who frequently writes about public health issues for The Guardian and other outlets, alleges that In-N-Out is banning its employees from wearing masks. Tran's tweet includes an apparent internal memo from In-N-Out executives stating, 'No masks shall be worn in the Store or Support facility unless an Associate has a valid medical note.'"
"What is the reasoning behind In-N-Out's purported mask ban? According to the memo, the mandate is intended to 'emphasize the importance of customer service and the ability to show our Associates' smiles and other facial features.' Also of note is the fact that the memo is addressed to employees in Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, Texas, and Utah. That leaves two states where In-N-Out operates — California and Oregon — that are apparently exempt from the mandate."
Rational people would rather be protected from COVID than see your smile. In-N-Out is a perfect name: what's In is worker safety. What's going to be Out is business, when customers find somewhere else safer to eat and when the workers leave to find a safer job.
