In-N-Out Burger Refuses to Play Along with Vaccine Mandate

And the San Francisco Department of Public Health closed down one of their locations. From In-N-Out: “We refuse to become the vaccination police for any government. We fiercely disagree with any government dictate that forces a private company to discriminate against customers who choose to patronize their business” (News 10). 

From another story: Despite multiple warnings, In-N-Out employees continued to let customers into the restaurant without verifying their vaccination status since at least late September. (The city’s indoor vaccine mandate for businesses, including restaurants, went into effect on Aug. 20.) In-N-Out acknowledged the enforcement violation, calling San Francisco’s indoor vaccination requirement “intrusive, improper, and offensive” governmental “overreach” (San Francisco Chronicle).
