25% raise cost.... 1-2.5% price increase? I'll stand behind fast food workers any day at that price to my bottom dollar.
Still not buying in and out because of their ludicrous mask double standard, but if anyone brings it to me I'll eat it happily!
Why do that when they can keep wages the way they are, claim at 10% increase in costs and pocket everything. Business is easy.
What double standard? Or should I say, double-double standard?
In California, and maybe Oregon, employees can wear masks if they feel it necessary, and they have to follow mask mandates established by the governing bodies.
All other in and out restaurants (not located in those 2 states) employees are not allowed to wear a mask at any time for any reason.
Goddamn shithole states
The state hasn't had any say in it, it's the company (operated out of California I Believe) that's telling the employees they can't wear masks. I used to rely on in and out as a pick me up after a bad day (like today), now I'm eating local.
I think they're saying the states are shitholes because they allow shitbag corporations to pull shit like that.
Right, and the West Coast states aren't letting them pull that shit.
The "problem" is, they already were profitable and making money, they didn't have to fuck over customers. The owners just can't even comprehend the concept of "making less money".
That is the problem, but End Wokeness is not claiming that. They are claiming that we end up paying for the raises so we shouldn't do it which is fucken bullshit. What 4000 years of mamon worship does to a mf.
It's wild, they're like, "OMG PRICES WENT UP $0.10!" like any normal person wouldn't happily pay an extra quarter so the employees maybe wouldn't hate their job as much and could, you know, eat healthy food, pay for shelter, and have adequate clothing.
This just makes me hate the C-suite that much more, narrow minded psychopaths.
Also 50% less chance of someone spitting on or having sex with your food
As someone else here said, apparently In-N-Out was already paying $20/hr, they may have just used this opportunity to increase prices because everyone else is doing it as well.
Other restaurants apparently saw much steeper increases:
