I have started wearing a mask if I have a cold so I don’t give it to everyone else. I am not going to a doctor for a cold. This is a terrible policy.
With all due respect if you have a cold and work in food service you shouldn’t go to work.
Which is why In-N-Out is replacing masks with paid sick days, right...right...right?

Is it paid?
I’d be in favor of that. Paid sick leave should be mandatory in all of America. Some states already have policies for that.
Even better yet employees could unionize.
Yeah, but my point is obviously that In-N-Out doesn't have paid leave and is eliminating one of the few effective protections employees have to prevent the spread of disease.
What's your basis for saying that they don't have paid leave?
And it’s ultimately an issue not even worth getting worked up over because I’d be willing to bet about 99% of In-N-Out employees never wear masks even when they’re knowingly sick.
This story is outrage media. Don’t take the bait.
If respect were involved, the workers would get adequate sick time for this to be a possibility.
How much you wanna bet that's not the case here?
