In-N-Out Burger blasted the city of San Francisco’s proof of COVID-19 vaccination requirements after the San Francisco Department of Health closed one of the popular California burger joint’s locations for serving customers who were not carrying the proper papers.
“On Thursday, October 14, the San Francisco Department of Public Health closed our restaurant at 333 Jefferson Street because In-N-Out Burger Associates (employees) were not preventing the entry of Customers who were not carrying proper vaccination documentation,” In-N-Out Burger’s chief legal and business officer, Arnie Wensinger, said in a statement.
“Our store properly and clearly posted signage to communicate local vaccination requirements,” Wensinger said. “After closing our restaurant, local regulators informed us that our restaurant Associates must actively intervene by demanding proof of vaccination and photo identification from every Customer, then act as enforcement personnel by barring entry for any Customers without the proper documentation.”
“We refuse to become the vaccination police for any government,” Wensinger declared, slamming the San Francisco Department of Health’s requirements as “unreasonable, invasive, and unsafe” and accusing the city of asking restaurants to “segregate Customers” based on vaccine documentation.
Wensinger’s statement was first reported by The HighWire.
In August, San Francisco Mayor London Breed announced that the city would require businesses in “high-contact indoor sectors,” including bars, restaurants, clubs, and gyms to obtain proof of COVID-19 vaccination from patrons and employees before servicing them. The health order was implemented to “protect against the continued spread of COVID-19, particularly among the unvaccinated,” according to a statement from the mayor’s office.
Well, good for In N Out. If it isn’t a requirement for illegal immigrants to be vaccinated before the lying idiot Biden distribute they throughout the country, why should taxpaying citizens be FORCED to be vaccinated?
Trump allowed for our normal Constitutional freedoms.
Biden and his goons have taken them away.
Biden and Democrats are a clear and present danger to our constitutional republic, and enforcing soviet-style measures for their own gain of power.
“IN-N-OUT Burger”? I’d soon trust a microwaved burrito from “GAS-N-GO”.
ad hominem
Any business refusing to be the government’s enforcers, for an edict that is unenforceable and completely unConstitutional, is free to do so.
Apparently not. The SF Department of Health just closed them down.
Actually, I agree with you on this point. People can easitly choose whether or not to patronize a particular restaurant. It’s different than an airliner, where it’s a closed environment, federal safety regulations apply, and a passenger generally has no choice about who they have to sit next to for hours on end.
Well, I suppose we have an unConstitutional government forcing it’s agenda beyond the mandates of what the people have afforded it, by choice.
That permission can be revoked, at any time.
And of course you agree with me. I’m right.
It’s not different with an airliner at all: they can drive, buy their own boat, walk, or swim.
They CHOOSE to fly, and that’s on them.
All mask and vaccine mandates for Covid-19 are tyrannical. If this were an actual pandemic, you’d never have to force people to get vaxxed or mask up.
It’s not on that level.
Meanwhile, over 90% of people over 65 in the USA…you know, the ones who actually MIGHT die from Covid-19…are vaxxed.
Mission accomplished.
I think they can survive without you swiping your EBT card there.
