In-N-Out Burger Prohibits Employee Mask Use in Multiple States
In-N-Out Burger has banned employees in five states from wearing masks, citing the promotion of clear communication and showcasing employees' smiles. The rule applies to stores and support facilities in Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, Texas, and Utah, with disciplinary action for violators. However, a separate memo states that only store-provided N95 masks will be allowed for employees in Oregon and California. The chain has faced controversy over COVID-19 precautions in the past, including temporarily closing a San Francisco location for allowing indoor dining without proof of vaccination. The new mask policy has sparked a petition and criticism for endangering employees' lives and discriminating against vulnerable individuals. The company states that it aims to balance customer service with health and safety concerns and will review guidelines based on prevailing regulations.
