Am I mistaken or aren't they also major republican donors too?

I mean… they have Bible verses printed on their cups and fry containers and what not… I worked for them back in the day and the founders were 100% what you’d imagine when you think of rich white SoCal conservatives… this saddened me but didn’t surprise me at all… and honestly, until I saw this headline I’d root for them 100% because they treat their employees well, pay well, and promote from within. As a company to work for (this decision excluded) they are pretty damn great.

Although I’d like to offer an alternative to the conservative COVID denial option, which is they are very old school… I could totally see a couple of boomers deciding customer service (smiling at your customers like a cheesy training video from the 80s) is more important than health concerns.

Tried looking them up on goodsuniteus.com, but they don't have 'em.
Fortunately, OpenSecrets' got 'em: https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/in-n-out-burger/summary?id=D000072295

edit, 'cause I can't help myself...
