    Meanwhile, In n Out serves a better burger, for less money, paying their workers $19+/hr.

          I think there’s a lot of freedom in the various regions. I’m in coastal California, and they’ve not felt particularly religious for a while. Also, they were following all the protocols as they changed throughout. Where I am, they also start at $23/hour.

          If someone was banning masks, it’s probably more regional or nuanced than a company stance, unless in my area they were all unaddressed rebels.

            They did it in other states but couldn’t in California because of some state law. Innout is one of the few fast foods I still eat, they pay decent wages compared to their competitors, but they aren’t perfect. I think they still have bible verses on the bottom of cups.

              Oh yeah, I almost forgot about the verses! It’s just the reference, though, and not the actual verse. It’s pretty passive as far as religious business practices go. If you did t already know what they were referencing, they’d look completely meaningless.

        Does the owner being religious effect whether or not they can pay a living wage and still make a profit? I personally don’t think so. I think the key difference is that the company is private.

          The magic answer! A private company is run by a C** and Board that are allowed to decide when it’s profitable enough and are not subject to the requirement of coming up with ANOTHER 15% MORE profit THAN last quarter, EVERY. SINGLE. QUARTER. Or be replaced by the shareholders.
