The Surprisingly Strict Rule In-N-Out Male Employees Must Follow

Every fast food chain has a dress code that employees have to abide by, but In-N-Out's seems to be particularly strict. Walk into any location, and you'll see employees wearing almost exactly the same thing as they whip up your Double-Double. There are actually nine distinct pieces of the uniform outlined in the employee handbook: name tag, black shoes, belt, red apron and pin, hat, white shirt, pants, and socks.
Depending on an employee's gender, there are also a few other requirements for what they must wear while on the clock. Here's the surprisingly strict rule In-N-Out's male employees must follow.

It’s just 8 bucks and if you don’t have the means to spend it then you learned a lesson in not spending what you can’t afford. If it’s on principle then your lack of focus and importance in life is really lacking. People who complain about poor service at fast food at restaurants are not normally reliable because they usually complain about everything if they are willing to complain about 8 bucks and waiting too long to the point of being given 20 bucks!

If In-N-Out launders their work clothes, that's 1,000 times better than leaving the restaurant after the end of their shifts smelling like a hamburger and fries. It's a young person's job.

I was gonna have an issue with this until you started listing all of the benefits that the employees have. At least the company is taking care of their employees, and paying them prett well, as they should. Most fast food chains don’t even do half of the stuff that In-N-Out is doing for their employees. Hell, a lot of them don’t even give you a free meal. They might give you a discount as an employee, but never an entirely free meal. You would think that a free meal is nothing to them, but I guess it is lol. The fact that they have a 401K and stuff for them is great.

[@pancakeviking5321]

It is because IN-N-OUT is a privately owned operation and opens very few locations, funds can be relocated to other locations. In chains, that is not the case, the chain is independently owned by the chain owner, who generally has to keep food costs under 30% of the income of the store, and labor costs under 30% of the store so that they can pay rent to the chain and their monthly franchise fee. Around 80% of funds are used in the chain for it to function and stay open, leaving 10%-15% to go towards a repair fund. The owner of the chain normally is only able to walk away with 5% of the chain's income, which is incredibly low for almost any business and normally equates to around $100,000 to $150,000 a year.

You sound just like corporate, like MY manager who also thinks that our GAS STATION has "Great benefits and health insurance and all kinds of other perks so you should be happy or leave!" Honestly any normal employee that works at these types of places never say a word about the "benefits" because at the end of the day most people don't even get them. I for one cannot afford the "benefits" that are offered to me, *even at the managerial level* , because I can't afford the 400+ dollars that those said "benefits" take out to cover for them on top of my rent and other utility bills, they're not fully covered perks. You have that condescending Manager tone to your words, "Prospective employees can always go down the road to the next burger hub and get [ far less ] and keep their individual [trappings]", I'll be 100% honest with you, nobody likes it when you regard them as second class citizens just because they have some issues with a strict dress code. It isn't that serious. It's fast food, not a fine dining restaurant. That's the issue with managers these days and why everybody is calling it quits in this industry, they're overzealous over the smallest of things and act like they're better than you because they're the head cheap chili fry maker. Overworked and underpaid, but the managers will always try to make it seem like there is no place better for you than there because of the "Great perks and benefits".

Its a private company so they can set their standards however they want and if you don't like it or don't agree, then you can simply find another burger joint or establishment to work for. This is America and if you own your own business, you should be able to set your own standards (of course within legal parameters). These standards don't seem to violate any laws and as a matter of fact, these are the same exact standards in which they have become successful. If anyone speaks to any employee at In-N-Out to ask them how they are treated....You will see why it's a great company to work for. Ever since the minimum wage hike in CA, big chains like McDonalds and other major corporate chains have increased their food items "drastically" while In-N-Out has only raised their prices by like around 18 cents to 25 cents. They are able to do that for what reasons? The same reasons mentioned above....high standards in service, high quality ingredients, EXTREMELY well trained staff, great pay, and all in all....THE CULTURE that In-N-Out has created for all of it's members and customers.

It's this sort of discipline that emboldens good employees, one's more likely to provide better service to customers, and weeds out the one's who can't or won't adapt to the strict rules.

In-N-Out can pay more to their employees and give benefits/bonuses/rewards while other fast-food chains do not for two reasons: 1) all In-N-Out locations are owned by the company verses most of the other fast-food chains are mostly (if not all) franchises. A franchisee pays rent and franchise fees to the fast-food companies which is a huge chunk of their gross sales. 2) Franchise-based fast-food chains have shareholders which are paid dividends. In-N-Out is privately owned, so no dividends.

I visited our local In n Out this weekend for the first time and they pay their people $17hr to start. My impression? Decent food for a total meal price including drink of less than $8, whereas Smash Burger will be closer to $14. The food is basic and it will fill you up. Nothing special about it. It's filler food and much better than McDonald's or Burger King. Smash and Crave are gourmet burgers and quite good but pricey.
