Kaiser Permanente, headquartered in Oakland, California, is reportedly
warning its employees to eat inside as crime continues to hurt business
across the city.

The warning, based on a memo shared first by FOX KTVU, reportedly told
Kaiser employees to stay in their buildings for lunch after a string of
robberies affected employees who ate at local businesses.

"Those recommendations remain in place for now," Kaiser Permanente said in
a statement. "Kaiser Permanente is committed to ensuring the safety and
security of our employees and physicians across all of our locations. We
continually monitor our environments for concerns, review our practices
and strengthen them wherever possible."

Kaiser wrote in a statement that Oakland was its "national headquarters"
and that the company is "proud to serve the local community."

"We are working with city officials and community leaders on how we can
support the Oakland economy and address crime while we maintain our
unwavering commitment to the city," the statement continued.

A Kaiser employee told KTVU that the decision was the right call.

"It’s just kind of scary in general, not even just to go to work, just
kind of coming outside," employee Ariella Crenshaw told KTVU. "If you can
work at home, work at home. If you have to come in, just be safe about
it."

Some local business owners said that they were worried that Kaiser's memo
sends the wrong message to criminals in Oakland.

"I don't think you want to discourage people from walking around and kind
of give in to the bad elements that are running around," a cafe owner told
KTVU. "I think quite the opposite: I think that if there are more people
on the streets, there will be less incidences."

Fast-food giant In-N-Out made national headlines after it announced last
week it would close its Oakland location in March.

It is the first time in the chain's 75-year history that it's been forced
to close one of its restaurants. The company told FOX Business that
regular car break-ins, property damage, theft and armed robberies of
customers and employees led to the decision to shut down.

"We feel the frequency and severity of the crimes being encountered by our
Customers and Associates leave us no alternative," Denny Warnick, the
chief operating officer at In-N-Out, said in a statement.

Kaiser and Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao did not respond to a request for
comment from Fox News Digital.
