In N Out CEO clears up "confusion" over move to Tennessee

[JI7]

She says she is just moving her family to Tennessee and they are expanding their business in that area but headquarters are still staying in California and she loves and appreciates California.

Shows how full of shit people are. Yes, California can be more expensive but it's also more profitable. Even having success in the red states will not bring as much as what California does.

1. california is not "family friendly" wink wink nt

[Oeditpus Rex]

2. Depends on the family

A family of right-wingers, no -- at least inland.

[Think. Again.]

7. Cool! First she pissed off Californians...

...now she's pissing off magats for saying she loves California.

In, and out, of business.

8. I never got the obsession with their food

Out of state but lived there for a long time. I tried it a few times but it was never worth the wait or hype in my opinion.

9. IOW, she opened her fat, stupid nepo-baby mouth and got blowback . . . .

Surprised that "this is not who I am" was left on the cutting room floor.

10. Overrated subaverage food that is dependent on cult loyalty and nostalgia

Outside of the west coast it will fail when up against its competition.

Good riddance, I prefer Shake Shack by far

11. Wages

She's pissed off California has a decent minimum wage and there are robust UE insurance and health care systems she has to pay into.

These people are so out of touch, they think the $16.50 minimum wage in CA is somehow a lot because they remember working at an Ice Cream shop in the 80s or 90s and making $4.00 an hour.

13. And yet, her company partially became a success by paying higher wages

Not sure about today, but they used to pay well over minimum wage and were known for being very employee-friendly.

That allowed them to hire good people and retain them. One of the reasons they were successful was that the employees were happy. That meant better quality food and better service.

12. Nobody's fooled. She was crystal clear she hates CA and can't wait to leave
