Leftists SEETHE Over Popular In-N-Out Banning Masks From Select States

Liberals are up in arms against fast food giant In-n-Out after the company released a memo informing employees that wearing a mask would be banned in five different states. 

The leaked memo informs employees that the new rule will begin on August 14th within the states of Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Texas, and Colorado. The policy would very likely be implemented in California and Oregon if not for the fact that those states have laws that expressly ban employers from banning masks in the workplace. 

The fast food company said that the ban was being put in place to improve its customer service by showing the smiles of its employees. The company did note that any exemptions would require a “valid medical note,” but the employee would still need to wear “a company-provided N-95 mask” unless their doctor says otherwise. 

Any employee who does not comply with the ban in the five states can face “appropriate disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.” The statement also did note that the policy would be periodically reviewed and if any local health agencies put out guidelines or regulations to wear masks that it takes precedence over the company’s ban. 

The individual who shared the memo on Twitter, Columbia University Irving Medical Center scientist Dr. Lucky Tran, who is an adamant advocate for masks, slammed the policy and encouraged Twitter users to call the company corporate and complain. 

“Please remember to call In-N-Out and tell them that their ban on wearing masks is harmful. They are taking calls and sending feedback to management. It’s really easy to to do, and you get right through to someone without any wait,” they wrote on their Twitter. 

Tran was not the only individual to take to Twitter to whine about the ban, with many others crying about how the burger chain needs to be avoided and how it is no longer safe to eat at.

“Screw In-N-Out for this, and screw any other company thst inevitably follows as they test the waters on mandating unsafe working conditions. It's one thing not to mandate masking anymore, but to actively ban it and encourage spread is abhorrent,” one user wrote.

“F**k In-N-Out for putting their employees and their customers at risk with this forced no mask policy I don't want to see their fucking smiles, I want them to be safe. They're working shit jobs to survive and now you're telling them it's either protect themselves or have a job,” another user wrote.

Of course, not everyone was crying and whining over the company banning masks well after the pandemic was over. Many conservatives praised the move, with Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk tweeting “In-N-Out Burger is America's best fast food company. They stand for strong values and don't want their employees masked - which is dehumanizing! Support In-N-Out Burger!”

The decision was bound to prompt different responses from opposing sides of the political spectrum but the move is one for common sense. The pandemic is over and continuing to have people masking for little to no reason is unnecessary. There have already been studies looking into the effects of having so many people wearing masks and they all show that there are notable psychological problems that are now being faced particularly for young children.

It’s not like the company is outright banning masks from being worn as all you need is a simple doctor's note informing the company that it is medically necessary. Instead, it’s a move from In-n-Out to attempt to return to the normalcy that was observed pre-COVID-19.
