In-N-Out Burger's Alleged New Mask Policy Is Causing Controversy

West Coast chain In-N-Out Burger enjoys a pretty glowing reputation. It
seems to be one of the only fast food brands impervious to criticism
from even the highest culinary echelons, counting celebrity chefs like
Alton Brown and the late Anthony Bourdain among its rabid, not-so-secret
menu-loving fan club. And yet, the company has come under fire multiple
times for its political stances, aligning with a Conservative Christian
ethos that has been criticized for, among other things, anti-LGBTQ
policies. But while similarly-aligned brands such as Chick-fil-A have
sparked boycotts over these issues, In-N-Out hasn't faced the same backlash.

Things shifted a bit during the COVID-19 pandemic, an event that put
corporations' political standings in the spotlight. In-N-Out made
headlines in 2021 when one of its San Francisco locations was
temporarily closed by the city's Department of Public Health for
violating a local vaccine mandate. According to the San Francisco
Chronicle, In-N-Out responded by calling vaccine mandates "intrusive,
improper, and offensive."
Now, the company's pandemic stances have landed it in hot water again,
as a tweet from Dr. Lucky Tran, a molecular biologist who frequently
writes about public health issues for The Guardian and other outlets,
alleges that In-N-Out is banning its employees from wearing masks.
Tran's tweet includes an apparent internal memo from In-N-Out executives
stating, "No masks shall be worn in the Store or Support facility unless
an Associate has a valid medical note."

The statement goes on to explain that medical notes can only be accepted
if the employee has a specific medical condition that requires them to
wear a mask and that the note must also state the expected duration of
that condition if that can be determined. If employees present such a
note, they will be permitted to wear a mask; however, they are required
to use N-95 masks provided by the company.
What is the reasoning behind In-N-Out's purported mask ban? According to
the memo, the mandate is intended to "emphasize the importance of
customer service and the ability to show our Associates' smiles and
other facial features." Also of note is the fact that the memo is
addressed to employees in Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, Texas, and Utah.
That leaves two states where In-N-Out operates — California and Oregon —
that are apparently exempt from the mandate.
If the information provided by Dr. Lucky Tran is indeed accurate, it
could potentially spell legal trouble for the fast food chain. In 2021,
the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) fined a
Massachusetts tax company for prohibiting employees from wearing masks.
In-N-Out Burger did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

GOD" (Ephesians 6:11) which we put on as soon as we use
Apostle Paul's secret (http://bit.ly/Philippians4_12 ). Though masking
is less protective, it helps us avoid the appearance of doing the evil
of spreading airborne pathogens while there are people getting sick
because of not being 100% protected. It is written that we're to
"abstain from **all** appearance of doing evil" (1 Thessalonians 5:22
w/**emphasis**).

Meanwhile, the only *perfect* (Matt 5:47-8) way to eradicate the
COVID-19 virus, thereby saving lives, in the US & elsewhere is by
rapidly ( http://bit.ly/RapidTestCOVID-19 ) finding out at any given
moment, including even while on-line, who among us are unwittingly
contagious (i.e pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic) in order to
http://WDJW.great-site.net/ConvinceItForward (John 15:12) for them to
call their doctor and self-quarantine per their doctor in hopes of
stopping this pandemic. Thus, we're hoping for the best while
preparing for the worse-case scenario of the Alpha lineage mutations
and others like the Omicron, Gamma, Beta, Epsilon, Iota, Lambda, Mu &
Delta lineage mutations combining via slip-RNA-replication to form
hybrids like http://tinyurl.com/Deltamicron that may render current
COVID vaccines/monoclonals/medicines/pills no longer effective.
Indeed, I am wonderfully hungry ( http://tinyurl.com/RapidOmicronTest

So how are you ?
...because we mindfully choose to openly care with our heart,
