Smile, Please: In-N-Out Bans Employees From Wearing Masks In Texas And Four Other States
Portfolio Pulse from Aaron Bry
In-N-Out, the California-based fast-food chain, will ban employees from wearing masks in five of its seven operational states starting August 14. The policy is being implemented to promote more effective communication. Employees in California and Oregon can continue to wear masks if they choose. The move could be a sign of how companies may cater to the political beliefs of their customers in different areas. Companies like Walt Disney Co and Anheuser-Busch Inbev have seen the effects of backlash from their customers over social and political issues.
