[Swordsmyth]

California liberals have flipped their patties over a government filing showing that fast food chain In-N-Out Burger donated $25,000 to the California Republican Party.

Journalist Gabe Schneider tweeted that the burger chain had added "a new item to their secret menu," referring to their "secret" off-menu items (https://www.thrillist.com/eat/los-angeles/the-in-n-out-secret-menu-ranked).

Et tu In-N-Out? Tens of thousands of dollars donated to the California Republican Party... it’s time to #BoycottInNOut (https://twitter.com/hashtag/BoycottInNOut?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) - let Trump and his cronies support these creeps... perhaps animal style!https://t.co/9zkdFaG5CJ

His daughter and current President, Lynsi Snyder, is also devout according to Fortune (http://fortune.com/2018/08/30/in-n-out-burger-republican-donation/).

Like cult chain Chick-fil-A (http://fortune.com/2018/04/16/the-new-yorker-chick-fil-a-essay/), In-N-Out doesn’t make its founders’ Christian values a secret, per se. Customers just might be so focused on their Animal Style (https://aht.seriouseats.com/2011/03/the-in-n-out-survival-guide-we-ate-every-single-item-on-the-secret-menu.html) burgers that they don’t notice the references to Bible quotes (https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/in-n-out/) printed on the wrappers. -Fortune (http://fortune.com/2018/08/30/in-n-out-burger-republican-donation/)
That said, In-N-Out Burger also donated $80,000 over the last two years to Californians for Jobs and a Strong Economy - a liberal Political Action Committee which supports business-friendly Democratic candidates.
Founded in 1948, In-N-Out is known for excellent food, employee benefits, and of course their secret menu. Employees start around $13 an hour (vs. the current California minimum wage of $11 an hour), while managers make as much as $160,000 per year (https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/nation-now/2018/01/25/n-out-mangers-make-160-000-per-year-reports-show/1065434001/), no college degree required.

To put this into perspective, tech workers in Silicon Valley earn on average $114,654 for the year, according to a survey from hiring platform Dice (https://venturebeat.com/2018/01/22/2017-tech-salaries-silicon-valley-slowed-philadelphia-had-highest-yoy-growth/). -Business Insider (https://www.businessinsider.com/in-n-out-employee-pay-2018-1)
https://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/empplo.jpg
The burger chain also offers a 401(k) plan, paid vacation, and dental and vision for both part and full-time employees. Because of this, In-N-Out earned Glassdoor's #4 rank for best places to work (https://www.businessinsider.com/in-n-out-best-fast-fast-food-chain-to-work-at-2017-12) in 2018.
Maybe not so much now that hoards of leftists have been encouraged to boycott the chain.

Do you want to know the reason I don't eat at In-n-out very often?

No, it's not the fries.. I don't eat fries, I just eat burgers, and the In-n-Out burger is fucking amazing.

The reason I don't eat there very often is because the drive-thru line is usually 10-20 minutes and the inside wait is no better.

The line completely wraps around the building and through the entire parking lot.

I think they will be ok.

If any libs do boycott them the lines might be shorter and you can eat there more often.

A call to boycott In-N-Out meets its own resistance

LOS ANGELES — Anthony Grigore is a Democrat. But as he waited Thursday at an In-N-Out Burger in El Segundo for his meal, Grigore made it clear party loyalty would only go so far.

Just hours earlier, the head of the California Democratic Party called for a boycott of the famed burger chain after a public filing revealed that the company had recently donated $25,000 to the state’s Republican Party.

“Eating at In-N-Out is such a standard thing to do across California,” Grigore said, dismissing the boycott idea as a bit silly.

California has emerged as the center of the Democratic resistance since President Donald Trump took office. But this activism might have met its match when it comes to In-N-Out, a California institution that some hold with the same level of esteem as the Golden Gate Bridge and Joshua Tree.

By the end of the day, Democrats were distancing themselves from the idea and Republicans were enjoying a political feast, with some making big lunch orders to show their support for the chain and posting photos on social media.

“We have all of our children eating In-N-Out burgers. Even my son’s German shepherd eats In-N-Out,” said state Sen. Jim Nielsen, R-Gerber, whose staff ordered 25 burgers and 50 bags of fries for lunch.

Political experts said they aren’t surprised that In-N-Out has proved hard to demonize, especially if the company’s sin was simply donating to the Republican Party.

“The stomach overrules the mind,” Jaime Regalado, emeritus professor of political science at California State University, Los Angeles. “A cheap, good-tasting burger is hard to dismiss politically.”

He's learning from Trump, his future prospects look better all the time.
