In-N-Out Burger

Do they only hire white people under 25? Seriously.

Wondering if the company owners are racist and ageist.

And they're one of the only fast-food places that does not franchise. All of their locations are company-owned, so you can blame any of their policies directly on In-N-Out, not on some random franchisee.

Never been to an In'N'Out Burger, but fast-food wise:

Lived in San Francisco 20 years, NEVER saw a white person working the registers at a McD's. Never saw a black person either. Everyone looked under 25. Hispanics and Asians. The occasional white manager.

BUT: traveling across the country, I started seeing white people of all ages working in McD's, starting at Utah, east (other than in NYC.) Demographics, perhaps.

by Anonymousreply 15January 7, 2013 12:11 AM

I live in an area where the population is about 55% white or pass for white, about 40% black or pass for black, and about 5% assorted other. McD, KFC, PizzaHut, & Sonic is about all that is left here, and the employees of all three are mostly black. My guesstimate would be 90% black. The franchise owners are white except at the Pizzahut.

I have a funny In-N-Out Burger story involving race. I was recently at one of the San Fran locations around lunch time. The place was a total zoo. I was waiting patiently; my order was number 87 and they were only on 45. While waiting to hear my number come up, this Indian guy comes up to the counter where the staff is passing out completed orders and says that he has a problem with his burger.

The woman working the counter proceeds to ask him, "What is the problem?" They go back and forth and back and forth. The entire distribution of completed orders is backing up. Essentially this moron had ordered a burger with cheese without the burger because he was vegetarian. He was upset that he had gotten a burger with his burger order. The woman working the counter couldn't comprehend that this idiot did not actually want a burger at In-N-Out.

This scene could not have been scripted. It was hysterical except for the fact that this went on for about 10 minutes.

Why can't these people eat where they work????

I'll be the In and Out troll. The chain is currently OWNED by a nice, smart, low key young half Hispanic woman. She is the granddaughter of the widow of the founder. The founder died, his wife ran the chain, they had sons but they died kind of young.

In and Out insists on freshness and quality and they control the quality. So far they are only in California, Nevada, Arizona and Texas. It is unknown if they will go further east due to the quality control and quality of meat.

They pay their workers very well and train them to be efficient and polite. I have lived outside of L.A. for abut 8 years and have patronized In and Outs all over CA. Whites, black, Hispanics, Oriental people. The one in Hollywood is mostly Hispanic; in Westwood, Hispanic and Oriental workers. LAX location has many black workers.

The food is usually good, but like all fast food, not especially good for you, so I try to limit it to once or twice a month. Sometimes the fries seem undercooked. If you don't like something, they will replace it. They want satisfied customers.

So if you travel around California, you will see many different ethnicities working.

If they do go East, they will run McDonalds and Wendys out of business. Any one you go to in California, no matter what time of day, is jammed.

A few corrections to [R61]

It is owned by a granddaughter of the founding family, but she is married to a man with a Hispanic name. I don't think she is half Hispanic, unless her mother was.

The so called Christian verses on some of the drink cups are subtly hidden on the bottom of the cups and just say Luke 3:16 or whatever. The verses are not printed out. The chain is not anti-gay. Someone started printing the verse in 1987, and the company has been around since the 40s.

They also have some locations in Utah.

I haven't been home (Alaska, as it happens) for some years, so don't know whether AA still serve up Christian bible verses.

I've also complained at Greyhound, as they used to have tracts of religious "literature" at the ticket office. I'm not a born-again atheist; I'm not even an atheist. I however believe strongly in secular services and boycott on a personal level only right-wing/fundie outlets such as In-and-Out, Chick-Fil-A (never been), Nestlé (for general, not Christian, evilness), Dominos and Papa John's. Coors, on the other hand, has cleaned up their act.

They must have a magic flavor-sucker attached to their french fry machines. I've watched them cut fresh fries for my order, cook them, and serve them still hot, but they still manage to be tasteless and have a weird texture. It's frustrating, because I really want to like them.

I also think the fries are super bland, but you described the problem, R129.

[quote]I've watched them cut fresh fries for my order, cook them, and serve them still hot,

It sounds like they go straight to the fryer without any sort of seasoning or treatment. Aren't fries supposed to be soaked in salt water beforehand?

Don't know which locations posters claim to see "only" white workers, but looking at their hiring page see mixtures of what seem to be Hispanic/Latino, Asian, and one Black. Fair enough Latino/Hispanic can be "white" but going by these posts thought the place was full of pasty White kids.

In and Out seems to pay a bit above minimum wage and have a decent benefit package. That alone means unlike your local Mickey D's they probably attract a better pool of applicants.

Also it is usually normal when benefits/wages rise with a position so do the qualifications. You can come straight out of JuVee, jail or prison and get a job at MacDonald's, it looks as if In and Out is a bit more picky.

As has been mentioned several times, In-N-Out doesn't franchise, so all of the people that work there are corporate employees.

McDonald's hiring policies would be the responsibility of the individual franchisee, not McDonald's (other than at their corporate-owned stores.)

Try the fries double cooked (check the name on their website). Crunchy, browner, better.

In-N-Out demands a very high level of service from their employees. Enthusiastic, fast, friendly, "service with a smile", "customer is always right", etc. They have to keep this level up all day, and In-N-Out is always extremely busy, so much so that workers have to go outside with a clipboard to take drive-thru orders. I've been to some less-demanding fast food places, and the workers' (often minorities) attitudes range from sullen/bored to downright rude. When it gets really busy, that's when they decide to take their break or leave the window for some reason. The kids (managers included) who get hired by McDonalds are undisciplined and don't seem to grasp the concept of "customer service".

Thank you for your "brown ones are lazy" explanation, R136.

We're as thrilled, as I'm sure In-N-Out reps are, holding clipboards at the ready, trying to weed out the worst brownish insubordinate types in their kitchen lines even as we speak.

But what about that cunt housefrau who didn't wash her hands when she left the john, but felt uncomfortably damp when she wiped herself off on the napkin, ketchup and condiment dispensers in your lobby? Should the brownish helpers have just bowed and say "Madam?"

Please explain the more sanitary nature of her digits that have been probing inside the folds of her cunt, picking out disused, mashed up, logged toilet paper and why it's OK for us (and the brownish helpers) to deal with it.

Please tell us. What are your favorite fast food burger franchises? White Castle, perhaps? Hold the onions and the cheese, but please, oh please, let the holes be just as large for the fry cooks to add their extra topping.

In N out is a religious oriented company. They are pretty low key about it, but if you look at the bottom of their drink cups, there's a bible verse stamped on the bottom ring. They're pretty decent people, I have no interest in any religious stuff, but In N Out doesn't push it.

The staff at the In-n-Out near me is pretty diverse. Most other fast food places in LA proper seem to be all non-white staff, or nearly so.

The "double cooked" fries are actually called fries well done.

Here is my standard In-n-Out order when I am hungry and don't care about calories. It is happiness:

Double double animal style, extra toast

Fries well done

Neopolitan shake

They could decorate their wrappers with pictures of Palin and Bachmann bumping pussy animal style, and their burgers would still be unbelievably good.

I can't believe people actually request to try In-N-Out burgers when they come to California, because they can probably get much better burgers where they live. Colorado, for one, has better-tasting beef than California and the burgers in Colorado are outstanding.

Are the current Snyders really [italic]that[/italic] religious or conservative? I mean Lynsi is barely into her thirties and has already had four husbands and overlapping relationships. Her father was an addict who died of a drug overdose and he wasn't involved with the company when they began to print the bible references.

It could be a bad business move to remove them. I suspect most people don't even know that they're there, but if the company were to cease printing them, I can see some idiot Christians raising a ruckus. It would be bad publicity.

The burger chain came in at No. 8 on the website's annual list of the 50 best places to work in the U.S. and the U.K. Texas grocery store chain H.E.B. was listed as No. 7.

Glassdoor used data from its site's employee reviews for the list.

An In-N-Out employee who has worked with the company for more than eight years wrote: "Great first job. Upbeat atmosphere where time flies and you feel like you are hanging with friends."

Their fries are only good if you get them well-done and animal style. But I really don't think animal style is worth more than double the price of regular fries. It goes from $1.20 to $3.65 just for some cheese, onions, and sauce.

To correct myself from R166. The cheese burger is actually $2.65 (the other prices are. What's really amusing in our city is that In-N-Out is located right next to Chik-Fil-A (or however it's written). The burger joint's drive thru line is nearly out to the street with workers taking orders on an iPad. The chicken place's line was probably a fourth to a half its size.

Killing of In-N-Out Burger worker stuns friends and family; police hunt for killer

Family and friends expressed shock and anger after a longtime In-N-Out Burger employee in La Mirada was found shot to death in the restaurant's parking lot early Friday morning.

They said that the woman was one of the original employees of the La Mirada restaurant and that her husband worked at an In-N-Out in Orange County.

Just before 5 a.m., sheriff's deputies responded to a call of an unresponsive woman near the In-N-Out restaurant in the 14300 block of Firestone Boulevard, said Deputy Guillermina Saldana, spokeswoman of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

Deputies found the woman dead from a gunshot wound to the upper torso. She was wearing her In-N-Out Burger uniform.

LONDON (KABC) -- Burger lovers in London discovered what a long wait was all about on Wednesday, when the wildly popular In-N-Out fast-food chain opened a pop-up store and a seemingly endless stream of customers lined up outside.

Eager to indulge in the staple of West Coast cuisine, the famished Londoners stood in the queue for hours before ordering such favorites as double-doubles with grilled onions and animal style french fries.

A passing motorist recorded a video of the interminable line, which formed on a sidewalk and -- naturally -- made its way past one of the city's signature red double-decker buses.

The pop-up restaurant was open for a mere four hours.

It is unclear whether the Irvine-based company plans to open a permanent location in the British capital.

GLENDALE, Calif. (KABC) -- Shake Shack launched its second California restaurant with the grand opening of its Glendale location on Friday.

The newest burger stand is located at 252 S. Brand Blvd., across from The Americana at Brand.

The popular New York-based burger restaurant opened its first California location at the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard and West Knoll Drive in West Hollywood back in March.

Shake Shack is known for their smashed burgers, fried chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, shakes, crinkle-cut fries and dog-friendly treats.

The chain has developed a cult-like following since it first opened in New York City's Madison Square Park more than a decade ago.

Shake Shack said its Glendale location will donate 5 percent of sales from its Invictus concrete - which features vanilla custard, Compartes Coney Island chocolate chunks, salted caramel sauce and crumbled sugar cone cookie - to Ascencia, a nonprofit that is helping to end homelessness in Glendale.

Shake Shack plans to open a third Southern California location in downtown Los Angeles in 2017.

The only thing that make In-n Out burger decent is the tomato, lettuce and sugary bun. Other than that, it's not exceptional. The fries are the worst; limp, soggy and tasteless.
