    Default In-N-Out Burger tells San Francisco 'we refuse to become the vaccination police'

    Beloved California burger chain In-N-Out is firing back against San Francisco’s vaccine mandate. The company blasted the city after the Department of Public Health temporarily shut down its Fisherman’s Wharf location on Oct. 14. for not checking customers' vaccine cards. It's the only San Francisco restaurant that’s been closed for violating the indoor vaccinate mandate, the health department said.

    Despite multiple warnings, In-N-Out employees continued to let customers into the restaurant without verifying their vaccination status since at least late-September. (The city’s indoor vaccine mandate for businesses, including restaurants, went into effect on Aug. 20). In-N-Out acknowledged the enforcement violation, calling San Francisco’s indoor vaccination requirement “intrusive, improper, and offensive” governmental “overreach.”

    “We refuse to become the vaccination police for any government,” In-N-Out’s Chief Legal and Business Officer Arnie Wensinger said in a statement. “It is unreasonable, invasive, and unsafe to force our restaurant associates to segregate customers into those who may be served and those who may not, whether based on the documentation they carry, or any other reason.”

    The temporary closure of the 333 Jefferson St. outpost, the only In-N-Out in San Francisco, was first reported by local TV station Kron4.

    The Department of Public Health said it asked In-N-Out to correct the violations multiple times since late September, after a complaint was filed with the city’s 3-1-1 service center line. After an initial visit on Sept. 24, health inspectors returned on Oct. 6 and found that the In-N-Out was still not enforcing the vaccine mandate. The public health department said it “attempted multiple times to bring the business into compliance with the health order” before shutting In-N-Out down last Thursday, Oct. 14.

    “The business was instructed to cease all operations on site immediately because of the threat it poses to public health,” the Department of Public Health said in a statement.

    In-N-Out had posted required signage about the city’s vaccine requirement, but employees were not enforcing it, Wensinger confirmed. The restaurant has since reopened but is no longer offering indoor dining.

    This is the most brazen example of a San Francisco restaurant pushing back against the indoor vaccine check. But mask mandates and other coronavirus requirements have been a flashpoint for restaurants throughout the pandemic, including some Bay Area owners that made headlines for defying public health orders. In Mendocino, a now-closed cafe went viral for charging customers who wear face coverings a fee.

    In-N-Out did not immediately respond to a question about what the company’s opposition to vaccine checks means for locations in Contra Costa County or Los Angeles, both of which require proof of vaccination for indoor dining. The chain doesn’t have any restaurants in Berkeley, the only other Bay Area city with an indoor vaccine mandate.

    We can now demand that all businesses screen for dangerous diseases brought in by illegals, such as TB?

    If it is the LAW they'll have to be. Or they can close down.

    In other news, liquor stores REFUSE to be the underage drinking police!!!! Good luck with that.
