(3,411 posts)"Perfect place for Bernie to visit. In-n-Out has always paid over minimum wage, and offers full benefits, even to part time employees. And they're one of the most profitable (per store) fast food chains in the world. They prove you can invest in your employees, treat them well, and it will actually help your bottom line."

(135,425 posts)That's because of the religious stuff on the wrappers written in teeny-tiny writing. I guess the owner is religious, or something. They don't push it on people, though.
No one ever gave me a Bible lesson while I was waiting for my burger, so it never bothered me one way or another.

.... We examined the packaging of other menu offerings from In-N-Out (coffee cups, milk containers) but failed to uncover any further pointers to Bible verses. The ones we've found expound upon a shared theme: belief in the Lord.
As proselytizing goes, this is about as low-key as it gets.
Not even the texts of the verses themselves are printed out; those looking to absorb the messages (and who don't have this article handy) have to do so with the assistance of their own Bibles. Yet even so, the presence of those simple notations has been interpreted by some as indicative of a lurking menace: we've had folks tell us they've heard In-N-Out Burger was "owned by the religious right" or "the Christian Coalition," or a "sect," or that bible-study classes were secretly held at each location. ....

(3,411 posts)I'll be sure to look next time. Usually, I'm so busy stuffing my face (OMG - grilled onions!) that the wrappings get destroyed pretty fast. As long as they keep the proselyting outta my face, they can have at it. But it's a waste of their printing money if it's covered with grease and gooey cheese!
If it gets offensive, like ChickaFila did/does ... all bets are off.

(135,425 posts)It's a personal expression of religiosity on the part of the owners, and that's as far as it goes.
When I first heard about it, I had a hard time finding the "offending" citations (quotes deliberate--it didn't bother me any more than "Moby Dick-Chapter 2" might). They're there, though! I like their food wrappers/containers--very biodegradable and simple.
They don't proselytize at Chik-Fil-A, either (the few times I've been to one, it's been with a gay guy and his sister, who love the pickle-brine chicken...which is very delicious). The staff was really nice, and I personally don't think all of 'em were church-goers, either (of course, you never know). I think they have a corporate presence/attitude that might not translate down to the work force on the front lines.
Here I am, talking like a fast food pro, and I can count the times I've been to both places in my entire life on my fingers~! Don't even need the toes!

(36,392 posts)Amazing how beloved he is. The only people who dislike him are the hillarians. He could get a lot done as potus, in a progressive direction. Too bad the party is insisting on a conservative with legal problems and lots of animosity.
