Fans Heap Praise on In-N-Out For Bold Stance Against Vax Mandate
By: Tre Goins Phillips
This is such great news! It’s great to see people stand up to the power of big fascist government and resist overbearing dictates. Well done In and Out. A few extra trips there are in my future. Of course where I live the two In and Outs and the Chick Fil a are by far the busiest and most crowded fast food places. Only Taco Bell comes close to those two.

Fans Heap Praise on In-N-Out For Bold Stance Against Vax Mandate
The fast-food chain In-N-Out Burger made headlines this week when it announced it would not enforce a COVID-19 vaccination mandate for patrons in San Francisco, stating its role is not “to become the vaccination police for any government.”
Immediately, the California-based restaurant was met with praise.
“Who said corporations can’t act heroically?” wrote Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.).

The deluge of praise for In-N-Out Burger — owned by devout Christian Lynsi Snyder — came after the San Francisco Department of Public Health shuttered the location on Fisherman’s Wharf on Oct. 14, citing the restaurant’s failure to check patrons’ vaccination status, a violation of a city edict put in place in August.
In response, Arnie Wensinger, chief legal and business officer for In-N-Out Burger, told Fox News the restaurant locations contain “clearly posted signage to communicate local vaccination requirements.”
“After closing our restaurant, local regulators informed us that our restaurant associates must actively intervene by demanding proof of vaccination and photo identification from every customer, then act as enforcement personnel by barring entry for any customers without the proper documentation,” Wensinger said. “We refuse to become the vaccination police for any government.”
He went on to condemn the city health department for its “unreasonable, invasive, and unsafe” requirements, accusing the city of asking business owners to “segregate” their customers.
“We fiercely disagree with any government dictate that forces a private company to discriminate against customers who choose to patronize their business,” his statement continued. “This is clear governmental overreach and is intrusive, improper, and offensive.”
The pushback from In-N-Out Burger comes weeks after President Joe Biden mandated all private-sector companies with 100 or more employees require their staffers to show proof of vaccination against COVID-19.
It’s worth noting language to back up Biden’s edict has not yet been finalized . Last week, the president said his mandate will take effect “soon” because there are an “unacceptably high number” of people who have refused — for various reasons — to take the shots.
Without taking any questions from reporters, Biden said the government has “to do more to vaccinate 66 million unvaccinated people in America.”

This is a Double Double Nothing Burger animal style. Mrs. Gee and I dine out at least once a week, usually 2-3 times a week. We wear masks in but, as soon as we're served drinks, we take them off. We have never been asked for a vaccine card, anywhere, at any time. If more people got vaccinated this wouldn't even be a story.
I only go to In And Out for their iced tea. I cook a better burger anyway.
Vax card please! We need to ensure you received the vaccine that doesn't stop infection or spread and you still might die. Imagine if the polio and small pox vaccine sucked as bad as these vaccines?
It’s kind of tough to expect employees with the experience and skill of level of “would you like fries with that?” to critically and authoritatively scrutinize vaccination documents. And if some dickhead patron wants to put up a fight, is the 17 or 18 year-old part time employee supposed to argue with them? I appreciate the sentiment behind the requirement, but it just doesn’t seem like a reasonable expectation.
