This law suit is BS. Just because you are not hired for a job does relate to discrimination.
Another attack by lefties on business owned by committed Christians.
My favorite is the double grilled-cheese, with animal style onions and extra veggies.

That is a good idea.
However, I wonder how long the wait would be?
All the In N Outs I have ever gone to have drive through lines out onto the street, with parking lots full to the max.
Well, I waited two hours for a chicken sandwich, so I wont mind waiting two hours for a double cheese, animal style with extra veggies.

I’ve noticed every In-N-Out I’ve been to is staffed by people of all colors who are obviously not illegal aliens.

Our two oldest have applied at In’n”Out. They haven’t been hired yet. I guess we should sue.

Oops. I live in California and my English is deteriorating. I meant to say “ Se hablan Ingles bien” in English.

"IIRC, In-N-Out is not a chain-—they are entirely owned by FAMILY members."

Correct. According to wiki, "The current owner is Lynsi Martinez, the only grandchild of founders Harry and Esther Snyder."

There was a crash that killed top execs years ago "The crash took the lives of Snyder, 41, president of the Baldwin Park-based restaurant chain and a well-known Republican activist;...."

And I agree with your comments about the diverse racial make-up of their restaurants. As former southern Cal residents we've eaten at many of their establishments. The employees are always super, and seem to really enjoy working there.

May God bless any American who still tries to conduct a private business and hire people in this country. I wouldn't have the stomach for the taxes, the regulations, or the lawsuits.

This will probably get thrown out of court -- after the company's spent hundreds of thousands (or more) in legal costs.

To paraphrase Shakespeare, "First, disbar all the lawyers." Or, at least, make the system loser-pays.

Now on the flipside, Blake’s Lottaburger in New Mexico is staffed entirely by illegals.

I support In-N-Out fairly regularly as it is. Count me in!

I know a couple things from being a customer at In-N-Out. They hire nice kids who work hard, and at least in the Reno area they start at $8.50 an hour.

"On my way to Vegas I stopped at one 100% manned by people of color so I think the lawsuit is BS."

I do too. My wife, I, and our two kids once took a road trip from Seattle to Vegas and stopped at several different In-N-Outs on the way. None up in these parts so we look forward to eating there when we can.

This is a whole lot more about the lack of ebonics and spanish than it is about racial makeup.

Attorney Joel Young represents two African American men over the age of 40. In the complaint, filed in Alameda County, across the Bay from San Fancisco, it says one applied for a job in Oakland in June after he was told the store was hiring. In August he was told he didn’t get the job.

You nailed it. Must be more to it than is in the article else it would have been tossed out. Right? < /sarcasm >

In Arizona, if you aren’t Hispanic or a minority, don’t bother applying for a city or government job, they are entrenched in human resources, so now, it’s a good old boys club for family and friends, whites need not apply. The government has done such a good job at hiring minorities that whites are the ones discriminated against now. Call me a racist, I don’t care, the fact is minorities are doing the opposite of Martin Luther King Jr. now, for they judge others on the color of their skin rather than the content of their character, they also hire that way too, thanks Democrats!

Funny. The most diverse workforces I've seen in any CA fast food place has been at In & Out and they all speak English well.

I noticed many other fast food places, and restaurants, have segregated workforces: all black, all asian, all hispanic depending on who did the hiring. Are they sued? Nope.

“The attack on Christian businesses continues.”

Indeed. I told my husband, “they want to hire kids that will give good customer service with a smile and not some full-of-attitude thug from the hood.” I have an In & Out within walking distance and know they employ Blacks.

Back in the 80’s, I stopped at a McDonald’s by the hospital I worked at on the edge of the ghetto. I desperately needed to eat before work. I had to say to the girl taking my order 3 times I couldn’t understand what she was saying. She was saying, “welcome to McDonnald’s, can I take your order.” Never again.

A few years ago I was in California. My husband and I ate at a few places staffed entirely by blacks in a nice area. I frankly don’t like being given dirty looks and attitude when I walk up to a counter to order food. It makes me worried what they’ll do to it. There was very obvious hatred in both instances. Those aren’t people I’d want working for me, regardless what their race was.

In this age and culture, if Blacks aren’t being hired they need to look at themselves first. It’s not Whitey that’s keeping them down.
