It’s happened more than once:
I am sitting on an airport shuttle at LAX when someone from out of town will ask, “Where’s the nearest In ‘n Out?”
This iconic fast food brand with nothing save burgers and fries on the menu is an amazing story in consistency and loyalty to the workers who maker it happen. The food is decadently tasty, but flavor isn’t the only reason an average store outsells other QSR brands in the same neighborhood.
It’s the people behind the counter who make the real difference. You can tell they’re treated fairly and respected by their managers. Starting wages at In ‘n Out are above the industry average and unit managers typically earn over $100,000 a year. Turnover is very low, which translates to better tasting food because the person frying your burger or salting your fries isn’t practicing on YOUR order. It’s extremely rare to see an In ‘n Out store with dirty floors, over-filled trash bins or a confused kitchen crew.
Writing this is making me hungry. Go ahead and read this piece from AOL’s Daily Finance while I jump in the car and head for my nearest In ‘n Out.
