Why In-N-Out Isn't Coming to a City Near You: 1. You live on the other side of the world
-
What I clicked on: Why There's no In and Out Burger in your area What I got: Why You Should Work at In and Out Burger
-
I had no idea that In-N-Out actually paid their employees decent wages w/ benefits. I always associate fast food with worker exploitation because usually only one employee (The restaurant GM) makes a living wage per location. That's really cool that In-N-Out takes care of their own. Every company should be this way.

I’ve worked for the company for 2 years and all I can say is it’s amazing. They pay me amazingly and they treat us somewhat decently, surely better than other restaurants. Overall it’s insanely fresh and just a great place overall
-
In-N-Out is really a great example of what can happen when you treat both customers and employees with respect and don't just chase the dollar.
-
The entire comment section is literally “In N Out isn’t coming to a city near you” Something witty in bold
-
While it sucks for us who lives an ocean away from California/western US, I gotta admit that I wish more and more fast food chains would take their approach to preserve its quality.

In 1983 this pimply faced kid got a job there one summer between my sophomore and junior years in high school. I stayed there for four years. That place had a profound effect on me, the values that In-N-Out instilled in me remain to this day. My first year, I remember getting a turkey at thanksgiving AND Chrismas AND a 20 hour paid vacation. I remember once getting two raises in one month, both only a nickel, but still, I got TWO in the SAME month! I remember my senior year, the yearbook took a picture of those of us that had part time jobs. I remember being stunned that everyone else was still making the minimum wage, which at the time was 3.35/hour. I was making 5.50.

I once went through the drive-thru and after ordering I realized I forgot my wallet. I felt embarrassed as I told a girl at the first window. I was getting ready to leave and they stop me at the second window and gave it to me for free
-
Privately owned and pay their workers a decent wage. That's why I fux wit em.
-
I don't eat much fast food but I have always heard In-N-Out treats its people very well, so I respect the brand.
-
You know what's awesome about In-N-Out, their milkshake machines are NEVER broken.

The thing I love about the In-N-Out model is it breaks the modern "rulebook" for running a company. You have a very simple menu, limited locations, low prices, and pay your staff well which is the opposite of the big guys. That said though when you go you know what to expect and you are not swamped with the insane amount of options most places have. Only to find out they are out of this and the ice cream machine is busted, again 😉. The other thing that always amazed me was despite how busy the average location is, and trust me there is rarely a "slow" time, they still manage to get you through in an impressively fast time considering that making a burger and fries takes a fixed amount of time. Overall I think there is a lot to be learned from their business model and I wish more companies followed suit. I do believe since the company is privately held, it gives them the ability to make the choices they do, without bowing down to shareholders who will generally not share the same values as the owners do. Sure offering 401K/insurance/high pay is costly, but with all the training they give their staff it pays off with the high retention rate which is rare in the fast-food industry.

Seeing this reminds me to appreciate having been born and raised in California and always having access to In n Out
-
The reason why in and out pays their workers well and burgers are cheap is because they don't have to feed share holders like other brands.
-
In-N-Out's greatest success is lack of greed.

That was the smoothest transition from topic to sponsor I’ve ever seen 😂

When I visited my gf in L.A. in 2005, she and her mother raved about In-N-Out. They brought me and my buddy there... I wasn't very impressed. BUT after watching this video, I will definitely give it another go.
