In-N-Out Burger Implements Mask Ban for Employees in Multiple States

In-N-Out Burger is prohibiting employees in five states from wearing masks without a doctor's note, according to leaked internal company emails. The fast food chain claims that showing employees' smiles and facial features is important for customer service, while considering the health and well-being of individuals. The policy, effective August 14, applies to all employees in Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, Texas, and Utah, with potential disciplinary action for non-compliance. In-N-Out has previously faced fines and closures for refusing to enforce COVID-19 vaccination rules. Public health officials and experts have criticized the new guidelines, citing the burden of obtaining a doctor's note and potential violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act. California and Oregon employees will still have the option to wear masks, but with specific requirements.
