vaccine-mandate-closes

In-N-Out burger has become the first restaurant in San Francisco to be
temporarily closed for failing to enforce the city’s vaccine mandate. City
officials made the move on 14 October after the burger chain said it won’t
force staff to check that customers were fully vaccinated before allowing
them to dine inside the restaurant.

Restaurants in San Francisco, as well as a number of US cities including
New York and New Orleans, are legally required to make customers show
proof of vaccination before dining indoors. Health officials in the city,
who have been carrying out checks on restaurants, say they made numerous
requests to In-N-Out to enforce these checks but have not seen improvement
after weeks of spot checks.

This failure to comply led to the city’s department of public health
(SFDPH) closing San Francisco’s only In-N-Out location, in Fisherman’s
Wharf, a waterfront tourist market. The restaurant has since reopened for
takeout but is still not able to offer indoor dining. SFDPH’s official
Twitter account joked that restaurants might want to consider the name In-
N-Outside.

In-N-Out has been bullish in its response to the ruling, admitting the
restaurant was not turning away customers who didn’t show proof of
vaccination. “We refuse to become the vaccination police for any
government,” Arnie Wensinger, the company’s chief legal and business
officer, said in a statement. “It is unreasonable, invasive and unsafe to
force our restaurant associates to segregate customers into those who may
be served and those who may not.”

Wesinger said enforcing the rule affected customer service but made clear
that the company was taking a political, rather than merely practical
stand. “We fiercely disagree with any government dictate that forces a
private company to discriminate against customers who choose to patronize
their business. This is clear governmental overreach and is intrusive,
improper, and offensive,” he wrote.

The majority of In-N-Out’s other locations are in Texas, southern
California and Utah, where there are no statewide mandates for restaurant
customers – however, its branches in the city of Los Angeles, where a
vaccine mandate for restaurant customers is expected to be signed into law
by Mayor Eric Garcetti next month, may also fall foul of inspectors.

In-N-Out has gained a cult status unlike any other fast food restaurant –
in part due to its cheap prices, fresh ingredients and “secret menu” of
toppings that customers can order even though they are not advertised in
stores. It has been name-checked in songs by Childish Gambino and Jaden
Smith. Anthony Bourdain even called it “the only fast-food chain that I
actually like”.

Its trendy status is quite separate from its conservative Christian
owners. “John 3:16”, a reference to a Bible verse, is printed on many of
its cups and wrappers. A number of the chain’s executives have made
donations to the Republican party, including Mark Taylor, the COO, who has
donated more than $15,000 to Donald Trump and the GOP since 2016.
