In-N-Out Shut Down In San Francisco After Refusing To Check Customers’ Vaccination Status
Big surprise: the Jesus freaks at highly overrated In-N-Out (the burger chain with meat that tastes like dog food and dried out, flavorless french fries) aren’t complying with vaccine mandates in California, and because they refused to follow health department orders, their San Francisco location was temporarily shut down.
In-N-Out is refusing to comply with San Francisco’s mandate that restaurants check vaccine cards before allowing customers to dine indoors — a move that resulted in a temporary shutdown of the city’s only location.
“We refuse to become the vaccination police for any government,” Arnie Wensinger, the company’s chief legal and business officer, said in a statement shared with The Washington Post. “It is unreasonable, invasive, and unsafe to force our restaurant Associates to segregate Customers into those who may be served and those who may not, whether based on the documentation they carry, or any other reason.”
Despite the warnings, employees did not comply, forcing the city’s Health Department to shut down the restaurant on Oct. 14 — the only time the agency has ordered a closure for a vaccine-card violation, the Health Department spokesperson wrote. The fast-food restaurant, located in San Francisco’s touristy Fisherman’s Wharf, has since reopened, though without the option of indoor dining.
