In-N-Out employees in five US states will no longer be allowed to wear masks as part of new company guidelines that “emphasize the importance of customer service,” notably showing their smiles, according to a new policy issued by the fast food chain.

    Which is why In-N-Out is replacing masks with paid sick days, right…right…right?

      I’d be in favor of that. Paid sick leave should be mandatory in all of America. Some states already have policies for that.

      Even better yet employees could unionize.

        Yeah, but my point is obviously that In-N-Out doesn’t have paid leave and is eliminating one of the few effective protections employees have to prevent the spread of disease.

          And it’s ultimately an issue not even worth getting worked up over because I’d be willing to bet about 99% of In-N-Out employees never wear masks even when they’re knowingly sick.

          This story is outrage media. Don’t take the bait.
